I love me a muffin, we have quite a few recipes for them on our site already, but our Peach Muffin Recipe is extra special.

Is it that crumbly topping (that tastes like a sugar cookie btw), or the moist interior? I’m not sure, but all I know is that this recipe just WORKS. This muffin is perfect for the peach lover.

I love that I can skip a stop at the bakery and make my favorite delicious peach muffins at home, easy peasy.

With simple ingredients and just 23 minutes of cook time, you can have these on the table for breakfast, snack, or even dessert.

I love to sometimes add a little extra something to these with a powdered sugar glaze or a drizzle of caramel sauce; no shame in my game.

I MAY have had one with a large ice cream scoop on more than one occasion as well… just sayin’, these muffins are extremely versatile!

Looking for that classic Peach Muffin Recipe that everyone will absolutely adore?! You have come to the right place.

CAN I USE FROZEN OR CANNED PEACHES?

Of course, you can!

We love to make these mostly during the peach season when we can get our hands on fresh juicy peaches.

But, sometimes that craving hits when they are out of season.

You can use canned or frozen peaches.

If using canned, make sure to pay them dry well, the excess moisture may make the batter too loose.

If you can, chop them up finer as well if using canned or frozen instead of leaving them in large chunks.

If using frozen, no need to thaw, just add them directly to the muffin batter.

CAN I USE OTHER FRUIT?

Yes, you can use other types of fruit in this recipe.

Some other good options include blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.

Any other stone fruits will also work.

DO I HAVE TO ADD THE CRUMBLE TOPPING?

No, it is optional but highly recommended. It gives that bakery-style muffins touch, but if you want to skip it you can.

You will still have some yummy fresh peach muffins.

CAN I MAKE THESE AHEAD OF TIME?

Yes, these are good at room temperature for up to 4 days, so you can use that for meal prepping.

Or, you can do like I often do:

I will allow the muffins to come to room temperature. Then, I will wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then foil, then I will place them in a freezer-safe container.

They will last in the freezer for up to 3 months. I’ll take one out and pop it in the fridge overnight to enjoy in the morning.

Or, you can let it sit out directly on the counter until thawed.

ANY ADDITIONS?

I’ve got a few ideas for you!

1. Almond extract: Swap in half a teaspoon (or more) along with the vanilla for a sweet, nutty twist that smells amazing.
2. Leftover peach juice: Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of the juice over the top of the muffins after baking for extra moisture and a subtle fruity note.
3. Pastry blender crumb topping: If you want an even flakier topping, cut cold butter into the crumble with a pastry blender instead of stirring melted butter.
4. Crushed nuts: Walnuts or pecans sprinkled over the crumble bring a nutty crunch to these favorite muffin recipes.
5. Dust of powdered sugar: For a bakery look, sift a little over the top of the muffins once they cool.
6. Lemon zest: A teaspoon in the batter brightens the sweet peaches and complements the fresh fruit flavor.

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

You better believe it!

1. Non-dairy milk instead of whole milk: Almond or soy works if you need dairy-free, just ensure it doesn’t overpower the peach flavor.
2. Gluten free flour for all-purpose flour: A good 1:1 blend can turn these into gluten-free muffins. Keep an eye on texture, though—gluten-free flour sometimes needs extra moisture.
3. Brown sugar for part (or all) of the white sugar: This adds a caramel-like note, giving the muffins a warmer taste reminiscent of a cobbler recipe.
4. Raspberry or blueberry instead of peaches for a different delicious muffin if you can’t get hold of peaches at this time of year (still a great recipe).
