Ingredients

Streusel

  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ tsp cinnamon ground
  • 2 tbsp flour all-purpose
  • 1 tbsp butter or margarine

Muffins

  • 2 cups flour all-purpose
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon ground
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • cup brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 ¼ cups peaches peeled and diced

Glaze

  • 1 cup icing sugar sifted
  • 1 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray or line a muffin tin. Set aside.

  2. To make the streusel mix together ¼ cup of brown sugar, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of flour in a small bowl. Mix in 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine, I like to use a fork to mix the butter in until the mixture resembles a crumble. Set aside. 

  3. To make the muffin batter whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon each of salt, and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.

  4. Beat ½ cup of unsalted butter on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add ⅓ cup of brown sugar, and ¼ cup of white sugar and continue beating for additional 2 minutes. Add in 2 eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and beat until combined. Reduce mixture to low and alternate adding the flour mixture with ¾ cup of milk beginning and ending with flour. Fold in 1 and ¼ cups of peeled and diced peaches (about 3 peaches).

  5. Spoon into the prepared muffin tin to the tops. Press the streusel mixture into the top of each muffin.

  6. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes in the pan before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

  7. To make the glaze, whisk together 1 cup of sifted icing sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk or heavy cream and ½ teaspoon of vanilla. Drizzle over warm muffins.
