Peach Muffins are easy to make, taste amazing, and only require two large peaches. The batter is full of ripe peach chunks with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Each muffin has a large risen top that can support additional peach slices.
If you’re completely peach obsessed in the summer like I am, you need to try these muffins. These bakery top muffins are so simple to make, just stir everything together. First, whisk the dry ingredients in one bowl. Then the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Finally combine them all with a little stirring and fold in your peach chunks. No need for electric mixers, just a bowl a hand whisk and tada muffin batter.
Each muffin is sprinkled with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon for a little crunch. I added the peach slice halfway through baking to prevent over crisping.
This peach muffin recipe is perfect for a lazy Sunday morning breakfast in bed. I paired them with peach tea, but they also go great with milk and coffee.
