- Fold in the Greek yogurt.
- Line a 12 hole muffin tin with muffin paper cases.
- Spoon the cake mixture into the cases, so that they are two thirds full, and then place a couple of peach slices onto the top of each one, lightly pressing the fruit into the mixture.
- Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until lightly golden and firm to the touch.
- While still warm, spread some peach jam over the peaches to glaze.
