Peach Muffins

These bakery-style Peach Muffins have a melt-in-your-mouth crumb topping and a maple vanilla drizzle. Make these muffins with fresh or frozen peaches and enjoy a quick on-the-go breakfast or snack with a big peach flavor.

These tasty muffins freeze well for up to 3 months. We are big-time peach lovers. If you love peaches like we do, try my peach crisp, peach cobbler, and peach salsa.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Butter: unsalted. If using salted butter, reduce the added salt to 1/4 teaspoon.
• Spices: ground cinnamon and ginger. If desired, add a pinch or two of nutmeg.
• Oil: vegetable, canola, or safflower oil.
• Milk: whole or 2%
• Vanilla extract: the pure stuff for the best flavor
• Peaches: Use fresh or frozen peaches peeled and chopped into small pieces. If frozen, thaw first and drain the juice.

How to make Peach Muffins

First, whisk the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbs form. Set the bowl aside for a few minutes.

Now, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ginger in another medium bowl. In a large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Now add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until incorporated. Fold in the chopped peaches.

Line a standard 12-count muffin pan with paper liners. Spoon the muffin batter into the liners, stopping shy of the top. Spoon the crumb topping evenly over each muffin and press gently down so the crumbs stick. Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes.

Then, reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 15-19 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in one of the center cupcakes comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Cool the muffins in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing the muffins to a wire rack to fully cool.

Whisk the powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of additional milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over the thoroughly cooled muffins.

Preparation Tips

• Line the cupcake/muffin tin with liners. They help keep the muffins from sticking to the pan. I like the unbleached chlorine-free ones. They peel away perfectly from muffins and cupcakes.
• Add a little protein and texture by adding 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
• Stir the batter just until combined. Overmixing can make the muffins dense and tough.
• Do not overbake the muffins. Cook just until a toothpick inserted in the top of one of the center muffins comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
• See below for how to flash-freeze these muffins.
