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.
