Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Gently fold in the chopped peaches.

Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the muffins.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Variations

Fruit Variations: You can swap the peaches for other fruits, such as blueberries, strawberries, or even a combination of fruits. Each will give a different flavor profile while keeping the same delicious muffin texture.

Gluten-Free Option: For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.

Dairy-Free Option: Replace the milk with a dairy-free alternative like almond milk or coconut milk, and use a non-dairy butter substitute.

Nuts: For added texture and flavor, consider folding in some chopped pecans or walnuts along with the peaches.

Storage/Reheating

These Peach Cobbler Muffins can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. If you want them to last longer, store them in the fridge for up to a week. To reheat, simply microwave for 15-20 seconds, or place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to regain that freshly baked texture.

FAQs

Can I use canned peaches for this recipe?

Yes, you can use canned peaches, but make sure to drain them thoroughly to avoid excess liquid in the batter. Fresh or frozen peaches give the muffins the best flavor and texture, though.

Can I freeze these muffins?

Yes, Peach Cobbler Muffins freeze very well. Once they’ve cooled completely, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Reheat them in the microwave or oven when you’re ready to enjoy!

Can I make these muffins without the cinnamon topping?

While the cinnamon sugar topping adds a nice crunch and sweetness, you can skip it if you prefer. The muffins are still delicious without it!

How do I know when the muffins are done baking?

To check if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, they are done. If the toothpick comes out wet, they need more time to bake.

Can I use a different type of sugar for the topping?

Yes, you can substitute brown sugar with white sugar or even coconut sugar for a slightly different flavor. Brown sugar adds a deeper, caramel-like flavor that complements the peaches wonderfully, but feel free to experiment!

Conclusion

Peach Cobbler Muffins are a delightful and easy way to enjoy the flavors of a traditional peach cobbler in muffin form.
