Ingredients for Peach Crumb Muffins

For the Streusel Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6.5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Muffin Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs (or 3 small)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ⅓ cups peeled, chopped peaches (1 ⅓ cups for batter, 1 cup reserved for topping)
  • 1–2 tablespoons flour (for dusting peaches)

For the Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla

How to Make Peach Crumb Muffins

Prepare the Streusel Topping

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners. For the streusel topping, mix together flour, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate this topping while you prepare the muffins.

Mix the Dry Muffin Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This creates a light base for your muffins.

Combine the Wet Muffin Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs until blended. Add the Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Keep whisking until the mixture turns pale and creamy.

Form the Muffin Batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want those muffins to be light and fluffy!

Add the Peaches to the Batter

Dust the reserved chopped peaches with a tablespoon of flour and toss them lightly. This helps them to stay suspended in the batter. Fold the floured peaches gently into the muffin batter.

Assemble the Muffins

Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter. Top each muffin with the remaining chopped peaches and a generous scoop of streusel topping.

Bake the Muffins

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue baking for another 15 minutes. They’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Glaze the Muffins

Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle it over the cooled muffins for a sweet finish.

Tips for Perfect Peach Crumb Muffins

Choosing and Preparing Peaches

Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. Be sure to peel and chop them before adding to the batter, enhancing the softness of each bite.

Achieving the Perfect Streusel Texture

Mix the streusel until crumbly, but don’t overwork it. You want it to be light and crumbly to create that delicious topping.

Glaze Consistency Adjustments

If the glaze is too thick, add more milk to achieve your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, simply add more powdered sugar.

Egg Substitutions

If you don’t have large eggs on hand, feel free to use three small eggs as a substitute without any worries!
