Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups diced peaches
- For the crumb topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and eggs.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches.
- In a small bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining the flour, granulated sugar, cubed butter, and cinnamon. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend the ingredients until crumbly.
- Scoop the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the crumb topping over each muffin.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the peach muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
