Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter.

Pro tip: Ensuring the oven is fully preheated helps muffins rise properly.

Prepare the crumble

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

Pro tip: Use your fingers to mix for a more crumbly texture.

Mix dry ingredients

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

Pro tip: Whisking dry ingredients ensures even distribution.

Combine wet ingredients

In another bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pro tip: Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly.

Combine wet and dry ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches.

Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.

Fill muffin tins

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the cinnamon crumble evenly over the tops.

Pro tip: Use an ice cream scoop for even portioning.

Bake the muffins

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.

Pro tip: Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.

Cool and serve

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Pro tip: Cooling on a wire rack prevents soggy bottoms.

Serving Suggestions

These peach muffins are best enjoyed warm, fresh from the oven. Pair them with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful morning or afternoon snack. If you wish to make them ahead, they freeze well.
