Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Muffins:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup diced fresh peaches (or well-drained canned peaches)

For the Crumb Topping:

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 1/2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the large egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and tender.
  5. Fold in Peaches: Carefully fold in the diced fresh or canned peaches to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Prepare Crumb Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly and clumps form.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups and Add Topping: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle the prepared crumb topping generously over each muffin.
  8. Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  9. Cool Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they hold their shape and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh peaches when in season for the best flavor, but canned peaches work well if drained properly to avoid sogginess.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure the muffins remain light and fluffy.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a plant-based butter for the crumb topping.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon in the crumb topping to suit your taste preferences.
