Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spoon or spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Muffin Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh peaches peeled and diced (or 1 can of peaches, drained and chopped)

For the Streusel Topping

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients

  • In another bowl, whisk the egg lightly. Then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, blending until smooth.

Combine Batter and Peaches

  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Fold in the diced peaches.
  • Tip: If using canned peaches, make sure they are well-drained.

Prepare the Streusel Topping

  • In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the softened butter using a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Assemble Muffins

  • Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.

Bake to Perfection

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Enjoy

  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Pro tips: Use ripe peaches for best flavor, don't overmix the batter for light muffins, and experiment with different fruits and nuts for variations.
