How to Make Peach Muffins
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan by either spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with paper liners.
- For the Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and baking powder to make the streusel topping. Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Use your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Set aside.
- For the Peach Muffins: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. In a stand mixer or a large bowl, beat together butter and sugars until well combined and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg until well combined. Mix in peach puree, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined to avoid overmixing. Gently fold in diced peaches.
- Baking: Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Spoon a heaping spoonful of the streusel topping over each muffin. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Advice
- Use fresh fruit when possible. If unavailable, use canned peaches in fruit juice, drained thoroughly before adding to the batter.
-
While cinnamon and nutmeg pair well with peach, feel free to experiment with other warm spices like mace or allspice. You can also add nuts like pecans, was, must, or silvered almonds to the muffing filling or streusel topping.
