Peach Muffins are a great way to start your morning or to have for a quick snack in the afternoon. Fresh juicy peaches are baked into these muffins and then they are topped with a simple crumble topping.
I really enjoy making muffins, not only are they easy to make but there are so many ways to make them. The peaches in these muffins help make them tender and moist and gives them a nice peachy flavor.
I enjoy having one for breakfast, perfect when you are in a hurry to grab and go. With life so busy it is always a good thing to have on hand. If you like you can freeze them, just thaw them out as you need them.
Helpful Tips:
- I like to use fresh peaches for this recipe. Make sure to peel the peaches before dicing them up. Scalding them in boiling water for 25 to 40 seconds will help with the process of peeling them.
- Cut the peaches into even small diced size pieces, this will help them to bake evenly.
- Mix the dry ingredients together and then mix the wet ingredients all except the peaches. You will want to add the wet ingredients and the peaches at the same time.
- Don’t over mix the batter, you mix until the ingredients are combined. Over mixing can result in muffins that are coarse and full of tunnels
- Make the topping for the muffins before the muffins. Once the batter is made it is easy to add the topping.
- To tell if the muffins are done touch the top of a muffin, if it springs back they are done (the same way you would check a cake).
- As I mentioned before the muffins can be frozen. Place in an airtight container and freeze. Just make sure that the muffins are cooled thoroughly before freezing them.
Steps for making Peach Muffins
Step one
Make the crumble topping for the muffins. In a small bowl mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers. Set aside.
Step two
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease muffin tins or line muffin tins with paper liners.
Step three
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Step four
In another bowl mix the melted butter, milk, Greek yogurt, and the egg together.
Step five
Add the wet ingredients along with the peaches to the dry ingredients. Mix just until they are blended together.
Step six
Fill the muffin tins 3/4 of the way full with the muffin batter. (this recipe will make 12 large muffins, but it will depend on the size of your muffin tins).
Step seven
Sprinkle the crumble topping over the muffins evenly.
Step eight
Place the muffins in a preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the muffins are lightly brown and they spring back after touching the tops of them.
Step nine
Remove the muffins and set on a cooling rack. Cool a few minutes and then remove from the tins. Place the muffins on the cooling rack and cool completely.
