Peach Crumb Muffins

Colt came home with the most amazing peaches the other day. They were so juicy they were running down my arm as I peeled them. Perfect for making Peach Crumb Muffins.

Tara from from Noshing With The Nolands had sent a message awhile back after she had a reader who had made my Banana Crumb Muffins I had shared on her site a few years back, and loved them so much she asked for a Peach Crumb Muffin recipe. 

It's my all time favorite peach muffin recipe. A soft tender cake like muffin with a coffee cake like crumb. They are a favorite way to start the day with my morning cup of coffee or tea.

Between the perfectly ripe peaches on the counter, and Tara's request I knew I had to share the recipe. 

Here's how I made them:

For the crumb topping add to mixer:

• 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Mix until well combined.

Add 1/4 cup Butter cut into half tablespoons. Mix until well combined, and crumbly. 

The butter will no longer be visible and well combined. Remove to a small bowl, and set aside.

To make the soft cake like peach muffins beat together:

• 1/3 cup Butter
• 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar

Until light, and fluffy. Add 2 eggs, one at a time. Beat well between each addition.

Mix in:

• 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1/8 teaspoon Pure Almond Extract
• 3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 3/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Scrape sides of bowl as needed.

Add:

• 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
• 3/4 cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt

Mix just until combined scraping sides frequently.  Be careful not to over mix as the more the flour is mix it activates the gluten, and will lead to tougher dense muffins.

Scrape down sides of bowl well, and fold in 1 1/3 cup Peeled Diced Ripe Peaches.

Really ripe peaches are the key to the most amazing Peach Crumb Muffins a few of my favorite tips I use are:

1. My first clue when I'm out shopping for peaches is if they smell like peaches. I always rely on my senses when produce shopping whether it's peaches or strawberries, it should smell ripe. Produce that doesn't smell usually isn't as ripe.
2. Peaches should have gorgeous deep tones of peach and reds when ripe. If the colors appear dull, or even light they are probably not ready to be enjoyed.
3. Ripe peaches are slightly soft. It's pretty easy to tell when you touch the skin of the peach if it's still rock hard.

Divide peach muffin batter evenly between 12 standard-sized muffin tin lined with cupcake liners.

Press crumb topping between fingers to form large crumbs, and evenly distribute over the top of muffins.

Bake in a 350° preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, until lightly brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center of muffins comes out clean.

Remove to cooling rack from pan once cool enough to handle.

Peach Crumb Muffins are based on my favorite Blackberry Crumb Muffins but if your looking for more ideas to use up peaches you might like:
