Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup diced peaches or nectarines (about ¼-inch pieces)
- Optional Crumble Topping:
- ¼ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons butter (very soft)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray 15 muffin cups with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and mix until combined. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract.
- Sprinkle flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt evenly over wet ingredients. Fold until just combined.
- Gently fold in diced peaches with a rubber spatula.
- Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter.
- In another bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and soft butter until crumbly. Add extra flour if needed for the right texture.
- Sprinkle each muffin with about 1 teaspoon of crumble topping. Let the muffins sit for 10 minutes before baking.
- Place muffins in oven and immediately reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 12–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Let melted butter cool before mixing to avoid cooking the eggs.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, substitute with milk and a splash of lemon juice or use sour cream.
- Frozen peaches work well—just thaw and drain before use.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep muffins soft and tender.
- Muffins are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
