Peach Cobbler Muffins Recipe
Originally published August 27, 2020. Updated on 4/6/2021
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.
Peach Cobbler Muffins
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!

Instructions
Streusel "Cobbler" Topping:

Muffins

- 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 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.
