Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
- Prepare the crumb topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, and cinnamon for the topping. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the muffin batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the batter.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are fine. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle a generous amount of the chilled crumb topping over the top of each muffin.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) without opening the door, and continue baking for 18-20 minutes more, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results and the highest rise, ensure your baking powder is fresh and your milk/egg are at room temperature. If fresh peaches are unavailable, use 1 cup of frozen peaches (do not thaw, lightly dust with flour before folding in).
