Homemade Peach Muffins
These homemade peach muffins are soft, sweet, and full of juicy summer flavor, with a buttery streusel topping that bakes up golden and crisp. They are the kind of muffin that feels right at home on a lazy weekend morning or tucked into a lunchbox for later.
Equipment
- 1 Muffin tin
- 1 Mixing Bowls
- 1 Whisk
Ingredients
Muffins
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups fresh peaches peeled and diced
Streusel Topping
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel. Cut in the cold butter with a fork or your fingertips until crumbly, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and alcohol-free vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Fold in the diced peaches gently.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three quarters full. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the tops.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed, lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
