Sometimes I see a piece of fruit and just think of the endless possibilities.  This morning, my sister Katie was sleeping in, and I wanted to surprise her when she woke up.  I wanted to make a sweet, no yeast bread, but I only wanted to make small portions in the toaster oven (my new found energy saving technique).  So I created the muffin-bread-cake combo and it turned out great.  It was moist with just the right amount of sweetness and little bursts of tart peach.  The recipe was simple, I was inspired by the raspberry pecan bread at Baking Bites and altered it a bit to serve two.
Peace Orange Muffins (makes 2 muffins)
1/4 cup flour
1/8 cup sugar (2 Tbls)
1/8 tsp baking soda  ( I used half of a 1/4 tsp to measure this)
1/8 tsp baking powder
small dash salt
1/8 cup orange juice (2 Tbls)
1/8 cup egg (again 2 Tbls)
Fruit: I chose cubed peaches.
Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl.  Then mix in orange juice and egg.  Stir in the fruit pieces.  Put in a small muffin tin and place in toaster oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until slightly brown around edges and a toothpick comes out clean.  Toaster ovens vary considerable so keep an eye on them.  If you like your muffins on the large side and don't want to use a toaster oven, then I suggest doubling the recipe.
