Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • For the Muffins
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1½ cups fresh peaches peeled and diced
  • For the Streusel Topping
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter cubed
  • Optional Vanilla Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel. Cut in the cold butter until coarse crumbs form.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool the muffins for about 10 minutes. If desired, whisk together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over the cooled muffins before serving.

Notes

  • Fresh peaches provide the best flavor, but canned (well-drained) or frozen (thawed and patted dry) peaches work well too.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins soft and tender.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel for extra crunch.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze cooled muffins for up to 3 months and thaw at room temperature before serving.
