Description
These delightful muffins capture the essence of a Southern peach cobbler with their tender crumb, juicy fruit pieces, and a sweet cinnamon-sugar crust. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a cozy snack, they bring a touch of homemade warmth to any table.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups peaches, diced (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gently with a spoon until just combined, leaving a few lumps.
- Carefully fold the diced peaches into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without over-mixing.
- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full and sprinkle the tops generously with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the tops are golden brown and a tester comes out clean.
Notes
To achieve the perfect muffin texture, use a light hand when mixing the batter to keep it airy and soft. If you find your peaches are particularly juicy, pat them dry before adding them to the batter to prevent the muffins from becoming too moist at the bottom.
