Easy Peach Cobbler Muffin Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Muffins:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chopped fresh peaches (or canned if fresh isn’t available)
For the Crumb Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cold butter, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Preparing the Muffins:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs then add in the oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend these together until they’re well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until the flour is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough muffins.
- Gently fold in the chopped peaches into the batter.
- Scoop the batter into your lined muffin tins, filling them about two-thirds of the way full.
Preparing the Crumb Topping:
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle this crumb topping over the muffin batter in the tins.
Baking the Muffins:
- Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
And there you have it, the perfect easy peach cobbler muffins!
These muffins are a fantastic way to enjoy the bright, summery flavor of peaches all year round.

Tips for the Perfect Peach Cobbler Muffins
Now, to help you make the most out of this recipe, here are some expert tips:
- Use Fresh, Ripe Peaches: While canned peaches will work in a pinch, fresh, ripe peaches really elevate the taste. If peaches are in season, I highly recommend using them.
- Don’t Overmix Your Batter: It can be tempting to mix your batter until it’s completely smooth, but this can make your muffins dense and tough. For light, fluffy muffins, mix until the ingredients are just combined, even if there are a few lumps left.
- Fill Your Muffin Tins Correctly: Don’t overfill your muffin tins or the muffins will overflow and make a mess. Aim to fill them around two-thirds of the way full.
- Store Correctly: Once your muffins are completely cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can freeze them for up to 3 months and defrost as needed.
