Equipment

  • muffin pan
  • muffin liners

Ingredients

For the muffins

  • 1 ½ cups peaches fresh or frozen, chopped
  • 1 ½ cup flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • cup oil I use vegetable oil but canola or any neutral oil works
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoon buttermilk or regular milk

For the streusel topping

  • ½ cup flour
  • cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoon butter melted

For the vanilla bean glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoon milk or half and half or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or scraped seeds from one vanilla bean or vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and line 12 muffin cups with liner (or spray them well with nonstick spray).
  • In a small bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In larger bowl whisk the oil, egg, yogurt (or sour cream) and buttermilk (or milk). Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl and whisk gently, just to combine.
  • Gently fold in the chopped peaches.
  • Scoop (I use a cookie/muffin scoop which is a slightly smaller version of an ice cream scoop) the batter into the muffin pan and let it rest while you make your streusel topping.
  • To make the topping combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Using a spatula, a fork or (most easy) your fingers combine all the ingredients to make a crumbly, almost shortbread-like mixture.
  • Spoon the streusel mixture on top of each muffin and GENTLY pat into the batter. Make sure to do this gently as you don’t want to smash the nice domed muffin top.
  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes. These are done when the top springs back to the touch or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The streusel topping will be slightly golden in color as well.
  • Let them cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes before transferring each muffin to a cooling rack.
  • To make the vanilla bean glaze place the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoon of the milk and the vanilla bean exctract in a bowl and whisk together. If you want the glaze thinner add the last tablespoon of milk A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME, until it is the consistency you’d like.
  • When the muffins have cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.

Notes

The muffins can be stored at room temperature for three days in an airtight container. Alternatively, you can freeze them WITHOUT the glaze, in airtight container or properly wrapped for freezing for up to three months. Pull one out when you are craving a muffin, thaw, warm up and enjoy!
