Ingredients

Scale

Muffins:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon more
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup salted butter, melted and cooled
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons peach juice, from the can of peaches
  • 2 cans peaches in juice (15-ounce cans)

Streusel Topping:

  • ¼ cup salted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl, then set aside for later use.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat or whisk the eggs, melted and cooled butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and 2 tablespoons of peach juice until well combined.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.
  5. Prepare Peaches: Drain the canned peaches and reserve 2 tablespoons of the juice for the batter. Dice the peaches into very small pieces to prevent excess moisture and weight in the muffins.
  6. Toss Peaches with Flour: Toss 1 cup of diced peaches with 1 tablespoon of flour to evenly coat them, then carefully fold this into the muffin batter.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
  8. Top with Peaches: Sprinkle a few diced peach pieces over the top of each muffin for extra peach flavor and visual appeal.
  9. Make Streusel Topping: Combine flour, sugar, and cold cubed butter in a small bowl. Use a fork or pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  10. Add Streusel: Generously sprinkle the streusel topping over each muffin.
  11. Bake Muffins: Bake at 425°F for 6 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for another 15 to 18 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Cool Muffins: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Dice peaches very small to avoid weighing down the batter and to control moisture content.
  • Do not overmix batter or muffins can become tough.
  • Ensure butter is cold when making streusel topping for best crumbly texture.
  • Use fresh or canned peaches depending on availability but adjust moisture accordingly.
  • Allow muffins to cool to finish setting and enhance flavor before eating.
