Ingredients for Peach Muffins with Streusel

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

All-Purpose Flour: The base for the muffins, providing structure and texture.
Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the muffins and balances the tartness of the peaches.
Baking Powder: Helps the muffins rise, giving them a fluffy texture.
Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the muffins.
Ground Cinnamon: Adds warmth and a subtle spiciness to the muffins.
Unsalted Butter: Adds rich flavor and moisture to the muffins.
Egg: Binds the ingredients together and helps with leavening.
Milk: Provides moisture and richness to the batter.
Fresh Peaches: The star ingredient, adding juiciness and sweetness to the muffins.
Brown Sugar: Used for the streusel topping, adding a deep caramel flavor.
Oats: Adds texture and crunch to the streusel topping.

How to Make Peach Muffins with Streusel

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Add the egg and whisk until combined, then stir in the milk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the diced fresh peaches.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, oats, and remaining flour to create the streusel topping. Add more melted butter if needed until crumbly.
Divide the muffin batter among the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Tips for Making Peach Muffins with Streusel

Use Ripe Peaches: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches. They should be slightly soft to the touch and fragrant.
Don’t Overmix the Batter: Mix until just combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy; overmixing can lead to dense muffins.
Allow to Cool: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack. This prevents them from becoming soggy.

Make-Ahead Instructions

You can prepare the muffin batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator.
Add streusel just before baking for best results.

Freezing Peach Muffins with Streusel

Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

Reheating Peach Muffins with Streusel

Reheat muffins in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
Alternatively, microwave for 15-20 seconds on high for a quick warm-up.
