Peach Cobbler Muffins

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
2. Prepare the streusel topping first. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.
3. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers or a fork to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar for the muffins.
5. Add 3/4 cup of the chopped peaches to the dry ingredients and gently stir to coat them in flour. This helps prevent them from sinking.
6. Add the milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir gently with a spatula just until the flour disappears. Do not overmix—the batter should look slightly lumpy.
7. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
8. Sprinkle the remaining peaches evenly over the tops of the muffins.
9. Spoon the streusel topping generously over each muffin, gently pressing it in so it sticks.
10. Bake for about 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
