Peach Cobbler Muffins Recipe
I’m someone who loves to use fruit in muffins... like in my Apple Blueberry Muffins, Healthier Apple Oatmeal Muffins, and Maple Pumpkin Spiced Muffins.
I love using fruit in muffins not only for the colour and flavour, but for the moisture. Getting the moisture from fruit pulp or juice, IMHO, make for a nicer - and probably healthier - muffin than those that get it from milk.
So, when I went on my recent “It’s peach season, I’m going to develop a TON of peach recipes!” binge, of COURSE I was going to make a peach muffin.
I debated the possibilities. I could add a bit of spice, or I could go a bit more savoury (Like I did in my Rosemary Peach Balsamic Scones).
It’s corn season, so I debated doing a sweeter, peach variation of my Breakfast Corn Muffins recipe.
In the end, I was in the mood for dessert at the time, so my mind wandered to peach cobbler. I thought of my Pina Colada Muffins, and how much fun - and pretty - it can be to have a topping on a muffin.
At first, I planned to do basically a peach streusel muffin, along the lines of my Cardamom Pear Streusel Muffins... but then I expanded out from there.
Having shredded peach in the muffin itself is great for flavour and texture, but what if I chopped up some peaches and used it on TOP of the muffins, underneath the streusel?
I’d never used fruit as a topping before, but it worked beautifully! The resulting muffin had a great flavour and texture, both as the actual muffin base, and in the topping. It's a fun muffin, and looks cute! I rarely bother with cupcake liners for muffins, but they look cute with these!

Peach Cobbler Muffins
Equipment
Ingredients
Streusel "Cobbler" Topping
- ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- Pinch Salt
- 2 Tbsp Butter chopped
Muffins
- 2-¼ cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 tsp. Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 Large Eggs lightly beaten
- ¾ cup Milk
- ½ cup Butter melted and cooled
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 2 Fresh peaches
Instructions
Streusel "Cobbler" Topping:
- In small bowl, mix together flour, sugar, and salt.
- Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut in 2 tablespoons butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line 12 muffin cups with liners, or spray with baking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in center of flour mixture; set aside.
- In another bowl, combine eggs, milk, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla
- Grate one peach, chop the other into small pieces - keep them separate!
- Add shredded peaches and the egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture, stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy.)
- Divide batter between 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each to almost full. I like to use an ice cream scoop for this.
- Sprinkle chopped peaches over each muffin cup
- Sprinkle streusel topping over peaches, gently pat down a little.
- Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 22 to 25 minutes or until golden and a wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
- Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups; serve warm.
