📋 Ingredients

For the Muffins

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tsp lemon juice)
• 1 ½ cups diced peaches (fresh or canned, drained well)

For the Streusel Topping

• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Optional Glaze

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

🧁 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Make the streusel: In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.
3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
4. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk.
5. Combine: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, do not overmix.
6. Fold in peaches carefully with a spatula.
7. Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full, then sprinkle each with streusel topping.
8. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Cool: Let muffins cool for 10 minutes before drizzling with glaze (if using).

💡 Tips

• For extra flavor, toss peaches in a teaspoon of cinnamon sugar before folding them in.
• You can use frozen peaches, just thaw and drain well first.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Warm them slightly before serving for that “fresh-from-the-oven” taste.
