A true celebration of summer, these Peach Muffins offer a moist, tender crumb packed with juicy, sun-ripened fruit that bursts with flavor in every bite. Topped with a delicate vanilla glaze, they capture the essence of a fresh peach cobbler in a convenient, portable form that brings sunshine to any breakfast table.

Ingredients

  • All Purpose Flour: 2 cups
  • Granulated Sugar: 0.75 cups
  • Baking Powder: 2 teaspoons
  • Salt: 0.5 teaspoons
  • Large Egg: 1 unit
  • Vegetable Oil: 0.5 cups
  • Milk: 0.5 cups
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Fresh Peaches: 1.5 cups (diced)
  • Powdered Sugar: 0.5 cups (for optional glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, oil, milk, and vanilla until the mixture is uniform.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir gently until just combined, then fold in the diced peaches.
  5. Fill the muffin cups about three-quarters full with the batter.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool for five minutes in the tin; meanwhile, whisk powdered sugar and a teaspoon of milk to create a glaze.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Don’t Over-mix: Stirring too much after the flour streaks disappear is the primary cause of tough, rubbery muffins.
  • Peach Prep: Use ripe but firm peaches to ensure they hold their shape; if very juicy, toss diced pieces in a tablespoon of flour before folding into the batter.
  • Room Temp Ingredients: Ensure milk and eggs are at room temperature to prevent the oil from clumping and to achieve a better rise.
