  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups diced peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned and drained)
  • Optional: 1 tbsp flour (to coat peaches)
  • Optional: Coarse sugar or cinnamon sugar for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or grease well.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
  • Toss peaches in 1 tbsp flour (optional), then fold into the batter.
  • Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Top with sugar if desired.
  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for best results.
  • For a cobbler-inspired version, top with streusel before baking.
  • Brown sugar can be swapped in for half the granulated sugar for deeper flavor.
