Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 2 ½ cups (312 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for streusel)
- ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 grams) packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, softened (½ cup for batter plus ¼ cup for streusel)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (180 ml) milk, whole or 2%
- ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a jumbo muffin tin or line with jumbo paper liners.
- Prepare the streusel topping by combining ¼ cup (50 grams) brown sugar, 2 tablespoons (28 grams) softened unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour. Crumble until coarse crumbs form and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups (312 grams) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, beat ½ cup (113 grams) softened unsalted butter with ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar until creamy. Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¾ cup (180 ml) milk, and ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; some lumps are okay.
- Fold in the diced fresh peaches gently until evenly distributed.
- Spoon batter into prepared jumbo muffin cups, filling about ¾ full. Generously sprinkle cinnamon streusel topping on each muffin.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes with a toothpick for doneness.
- Cool muffins in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Keep butter for streusel softened but not melted. Cool muffins on a wire rack to keep streusel crisp. If peaches are very juicy, pat dry before folding in. Adjust baking time if using regular or mini muffin tins.
