Equipment
- muffin pan
- paper liners
- small bowl
- large bowl
- wire rack
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 large peaches, peeled and chopped
- 1 large peach, sliced for topping
Streusel Topping
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375ºF and prepare a 12-cup muffin pan by lining it with paper liners or greasing it.
- In a small bowl, combine the streusel ingredients: flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and butter. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry muffin ingredients: flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined, leaving some floury patches.
- Gently fold in the chopped peaches into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the streusel topping over each muffin, and place a peach slice on top of each.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the muffin tops spring back when lightly touched.
- Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing the batter; stop folding as soon as floury patches are no longer visible.
- Using fresh peaches will yield the best flavor for these muffins.
- Consider doubling the recipe if you plan to freeze some or share with others.
Notes
Ensure batter is not overmixed; stop folding when floury patches remain. Fresh peaches are recommended for best flavor. Double the batch is suggested for sharing or freezing.
