How to Make Delicious Peach Cobbler Muffins
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh peaches, diced (or canned peaches, drained)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup buttermilk (or milk)
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crumble Topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with muffin liners or grease it lightly.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the diced peaches, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches until evenly distributed.
- To make the crumble topping, mix the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, softened butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl until crumbly.
- Fill each muffin liner with the muffin batter about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously on each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
How to Serve Delicious Peach Cobbler Muffins
These muffins are fantastic warm or at room temperature. Serve them with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee. You can also pair them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert option.
How to Store Delicious Peach Cobbler Muffins
To keep your muffins fresh, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze them. Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Tips to Make Delicious Peach Cobbler Muffins

FAQs
- Can I use canned peaches for this recipe? Yes, you can use canned peaches. Just make sure to drain them well before adding them to the mix.
- How do I know when the muffins are done? Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the muffins are done.
- Can I make these muffins gluten-free? Yes, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Adjust the amount of liquid as needed since gluten-free flour can absorb moisture differently.
