Ingredients
For the Muffins:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar (or half white, half brown sugar)
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg (optional)
Pinch allspice (optional)
½ cup unsalted butter (melted, or substitute with vegetable oil)
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup yogurt or buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tsp lemon juice)
1½ cups diced fresh peaches (or frozen/canned, drained and chopped)
For the Streusel Topping:
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cubed)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter or oil, vanilla, and yogurt/buttermilk until smooth.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
Gently fold in diced peaches. Avoid overmixing.
Fill muffin cups about ¾ full with batter.
In a small bowl, combine streusel ingredients with a fork or fingers until crumbly.
Sprinkle streusel evenly over batter in muffin cups.
Bake the muffins 18–22 minutes until tops are golden and toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool fully.
Notes
Fresh peaches deliver the best flavor, but frozen or canned peaches work great too—just drain and dry them carefully to avoid soggy muffins. For extra crunch and flavor, toast chopped pecans or walnuts and sprinkle them on top before baking. These muffins freeze very well, making them perfect for meal prep. If the streusel topping is browning too quickly, cover the muffins lightly with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
