Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar (light brown sugar preferred) for crumble topping
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk or dairy-free milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for crumble topping)
  • 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
  • 3 tablespoons (42g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes (for crumble topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. Prepare the crumble topping: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons cold butter cubes. Blend with fingers or pastry cutter until coarse crumbs form. Chill in the fridge.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs lightly. Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; batter should be lumpy without dry streaks.
  6. Fold in diced peaches carefully to keep chunks intact.
  7. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Sprinkle crumble topping generously over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to keep crumble crunchy.

Notes

Pat peaches dry if extra juicy to prevent wet batter. Chill crumble topping before baking for crisp texture. Avoid overmixing batter to keep muffins tender. Peeling peaches is recommended for best texture. Muffins taste better after resting a day. Can substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free milk for dietary needs.
