Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together the streusel topping with a spoon. Once it starts to combine, use your hands to have the mixture become crumbly and dry; set aside.
  • Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray the muffin tins with nonstick baking spray or line with paper muffin cups.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the streusel topping; set aside.
  • Place the pitted and cubed peaches in a medium size bowl, toss with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and cinnamon. In a small skillet, add the peaches. Cook on medium heat for a few minutes until the peaches soften a little *(this is an optional step).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients; set aside.
  • In another bowl, place all the wet ingredients. Whisk together until combined.
  • Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as folding to combine the ingredients; make sure to not over mix. It’s fine if there are some small lumps.
  • Add the peaches to the batter and fold in until incorporated.
  • Fill the prepared tins three-quarters full. Sprinkle the streusel topping on top of each muffin.
  • Bake the muffins at 425°F for 5 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes *(the muffins could be ready before 15 minutes, so check on them at around 12 minutes). The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs remaining.
  • Set the pan on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • The peaches should be ripe but not over ripe and mushy. They should be ripe and firm and sweet - not so ripe that they are falling apart on the inside!
  • 
I made my muffins dairy free. I used unsweetened almond milk and margarine for the topping. I used coconut oil for the batter. You could use coconut oil in the streusel topping if you don’t have any margarine on hand.
  • The streusel could start to brown, if so, you could tent some foil paper very loosely over the muffins.
  • Muffins are best enjoyed on the day they are made.
  • Store muffins tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Any leftover muffins could be frozen in an airtight container or zipped freezer bag.
