Ingredients

Streusel Topping: 1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour

Streusel Topping: 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar

Streusel Topping: 1/4 cup (56 grams) cold salted butter

2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder

1/2 teaspoon (1 gram) ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon (3 grams) salt

1/3 cup (76 grams) butter, room temperature

3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract

1/2 cup (118 ml) milk

2 cups (365 grams) diced peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the streusel flour and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until pea-sized crumbles form. Refrigerate until needed.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until combined, then beat for 1 minute.
  6. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  7. Fold in 1 heaping cup of the diced peaches.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling nearly to the top.
  9. Top the batter with the remaining peaches.
  10. Sprinkle the chilled streusel over each muffin and gently press it into the tops.
  11. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes.
  12. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  13. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth and flavor.

Frozen peaches may be used; add a few extra minutes of baking time if needed.

Chopped pecans or walnuts can be mixed into the streusel for added crunch.

Substitute part of the vanilla extract with almond extract for a different flavor profile.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Freeze individually wrapped muffins for up to 3 months.

Reheat in the microwave for 15–20 seconds or warm in a low oven.
