Ingredients

Streusel Topping:

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Muffins:

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups peeled and chopped fresh peaches cut into about 1/2-inch pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper cupcake liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the streusel topping ingredients with a fork or pastry cutter until it is crumbly; set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and mix until well incorporated.
  • Mix in the sour cream, milk, and vanilla, then add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
  • Fold in the chopped peaches.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, evenly distributing all of the batter between the 12 cups. Top with the streusel topping and press the topping down lightly to be sure it sticks to the muffin batter.
  • Bake the muffins at 425F for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350F and bake for another 16-18 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
  • Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
