Brown Sugar Peach Muffins

August 28, 2020 by Faith 49 Comments

Jump to Recipe

This Brown Sugar Peach Muffins recipe features a hint of warm spices and a subtle vanilla aroma that pairs perfectly with fresh sweet peaches. A crumble topping and a drizzle of vanilla icing makes them extra special.

Before I made these muffins, I knew exactly what I wanted!

A moist muffin with a soft crumb, slightly grainy cornmeal texture, vanilla-scented with a slightly caramel-y flavor, and pieces of fresh peach.

Yes, that’s all, lol.

(It’s a girl’s prerogative to want it all, right?)

After a little experimentation, that’s exactly what I got. (Ok, maybe more than a little. Let’s just say, the third time is a charm, lol!)

The Best Brown Sugar Peach Muffins Recipe

These muffins are full of flavor. They’ll make your house smell like a bakery as they bake!

Here, brown sugar adds notes of caramel. Also, a hint of warm spices perfectly accentuates the flavor of peach. And last but not least, vanilla makes these muffins smell like sweet peachy heaven.

My favorite part is the contrast in texture between the crispy golden muffin tops, and their soft interior with little bursts of fresh peach.

If you want a new take on one of summer’s most beloved fruits, these muffins are it.

Ingredients

Peach Muffins:

  • All-purpose flour
  • Light brown sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Baking soda
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • Milk
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Eggs
  • Avocado oil (or another mild-flavored oil)
  • Vanilla extract
  • Ripe peach

Crumble Topping:

I made a quick crumble topping for these muffins.

The streusel crumble topping contains butter, sugar, vanilla, all-purpose flour, old-fashioned rolled oats, and salt.

It’s easy to whip up and adds delicious texture and flavor to these muffins. However, if you prefer, feel free to skip the crumble topping!

How to Make Icing to Drizzle on Top of Muffins:

Just look at how pretty that icing drizzle is!

However, icing on top is completely optional here. If you want to make icing to drizzle on top of these muffins, mix together the following:

  • 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons of water

Whisk all ingredients together until the glaze reaches a spoonable consistency. Drizzle the icing on top of the cooled muffins, and then let it set before serving.

How to Make Peach Muffins

Step 1: Make the Crumble Topping:

Use a fork to mash together the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add the flour, oats, and salt, and mash until it looks crumbly. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Muffins:

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a muffin tray with 16 paper liners.

Dice the peach.

Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the milk and vinegar to a medium bowl and let it sit for 3 minutes without stirring so the milk can curdle. Whisk the other wet ingredients into the milk mixture.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, being careful not to over-mix, and then fold in the diced peach.

stirring peaches into muffin batter

Divide the batter between the 16 muffin wells and sprinkle on the crumble topping.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a couple crumbs, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Peach Muffins FAQs

How Do You Store Peach Muffins?

Line the bottom of an airtight container with paper towels. Place the muffins in a single layer on top of the paper towels. Cover the container, and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Can I Make Peach Muffins with Canned Peaches?

Yes! To make muffins with canned peaches, drain the peaches well, and then dice them small. You will need about 1 1/2 cups of diced peach for this recipe.

    These were great since they weren’t as sweet! I added more peaches (about 2 cups cut up) and it made them a bit more moist, which I prefer. Great recipe!

      You’re right, fresh peaches are amazing this time of year…while I do love how their flavor sweetens and intensifies when they’re cooked in things like pies, cobblers, and crisps (and now muffins!), fresh is also my favorite way to enjoy them. :)
