Electric Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer An electric hand mixer or stand mixer can be used to efficiently mix the muffin batter, especially when combining the wet and dry ingredients. It saves time and effort compared to using a whisk manually.
Mixing BowlsUse mixing bowls to combine and mix the dry and wet ingredients separately before combining them together.
Measuring Cups and spoons Accurate measurements are crucial for baking, so having a set of measuring cups and spoons is essential to measure the ingredients precisely.
Whisk or fork Whisks or forks can be used to mix and combine the dry ingredients, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Spatula or wooden spoonUse a spatula or wooden spoon to mix the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. These tools help prevent overmixing, which can result in dense muffins.
Muffin PanA muffin pan is necessary for shaping and baking the muffins. Make sure it has enough cavities for the desired number of muffins.
Muffin Liners or Non-Stick Cooking Spray If using muffin liners, have them ready to line the cavities of the muffin tin. Alternatively, you can use non-stick cooking spray to grease the tin if you prefer not to use liners.
Cooling rackOnce the muffins are baked, place them on a cooling rack to cool down completely. This helps prevent the bottoms from becoming soggy.
130gRipe Peaches (with skin on), preferably white flesh peach puree
70gfresh ripe peaches, small diced
Instructions
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.
