Fresh, ripe, juicy peaches baked in a sweet, tender cinnamon muffin crowned with a cinnamon streusel topping. The flavors of peach cobbler in a muffin.
Bizzy Bakes, is my Secret Recipe Club blog this month. Chaya and I have had fun following each others baking blogs for a long while now. She participates in Muffin Mondays and has an entire section devoted to muffins. Since we’re muffin lovers at our house too, a muffin was the obvious choice.
There were so many muffins that looked delicious, but her Peach Cobbler Muffins are perfect for this time of year. I picked up some big juicy, ripe peaches at the South Jordan Farmers market.
I used my favorite muffin recipe that works well at my altitude, substituting peaches for blueberries and adding cinnamon to the batter and streusel topping. Peaches added more volume to the batter and I had enough batter to make 15 muffins. You could reduce the amount of peaches used, but I wouldn’t. I loved having it loaded with peaches.
A peach cobbler muffin is such a fun idea. I don’t know why I haven’t tried using peaches in a muffin before – they’re delicious!. Thanks Chaya for sharing this delicious idea.
I’m also linking this post up to a new bread baking group, Twelve Loaves. This month’s Twelve Loaves’ challenge is Bread with Summer Fruit. Bake a bread, yeast or quick bread, loaf or individual, filled, stuffed, studded or topped with your favorite fresh summer fruit or berries.

- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 cups fresh peaches, diced (about 2 large peaches)
- 4 tablespoons sugar

- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and flour. Add oil and mix together until full incorporated and you have a sandy texture.

- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla and milk. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined. Gently stir in peaches.
- Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with muffin batter. (Don't over fill.) Sprinkle muffins with topping.

I love to bake, especially cookies, cakes, and pies. I’ll post my adventures in the kitchen, my favorite new recipes, as well as our family favorites.
I just got a huge bag of peaches from my MiL, I was thinking about doing a peach bread but now I’m thinking muffins! Awesome SRC pic
Wonderful! I’d love to eat one for dessert…
Cheers,

Hi Barbara, This is the second place I went and it was because the muffin appealed to me. Little did I know, it was originally mine. I’m glad you liked it and honored you made it.
These look seriously amazing. I love anything peach and anything with streusel, so I am in love!
Wow, Barbara. I love these. What a great use of peaches!
I’d love one right now with my coffee!
Hmmm – can’t think of a better way to enjoy peaches. They look super delish Barbara!
These looks so good! I can’t wait to make a vegan version!
These look so good! What a great way to use up fresh peaches!
love the idea of doing a cobble in muffin forms.
You just made every southern cupcake lover especially happy because everyone knows a southerner loves their peaches too! It is the best of both worlds! Genius
Definitely trying these!! I have a box of peaches coming this week from our fire department and I’m always looking for new ways to use them up…
This is one fiiiine muffin! Yum!
omg love these!!! My mouth is watering
These peach cobbler muffins look amazing! Made me wanna join you on the secret recipe club.
No other fruit says ‘summer’ to me as much as the peach. These look delicious! Thanks for sharing it with the SRC.
I adore peach cobbler and how fun to have it as a muffin, looks delish.
I cannot wait for peach season to get here again so I can make these muffins! I can almost taste them!
oh wow, these look amazing! i need to get me some peaches!
These cupcakes look sooooooo good – I love peaches, and this is a perfect use for summer fruit!
i love peaches and your muffins look amazing, and the streusel topping is a delicious bonus
I think Utah has the best peaches! What a yummy way to use them!
They look scrumptious! With stonefruit in season, this one is a must try!
how absolutely beautiful!! i love it when a recipe converts stuff into muffins.. am bookmarking it!!
Wow, these look marvelous!!
Hello Barbara, tes muffins sont bien gourmands, j’adore
Je te souhaite un bon mardi
Valérie.
Oh my goodness … these stopped me in my tracks … I love peach cobbler and I love muffins so YUM
What gorgeous muffins! I have a great spiced peach muffin recipe, but I’ll have to try these too. I love the cobbler thing going on there on top!
Do you have any suggestions for lower altitude baking. This recipe looks too good to pass up, but I’m afraid that it will be dense and heavy…ideas?
Hi Kate – great question. Many others have made the blueberry muffin recipe with great success, I’m assuming at various altitudes. But you could try increasing the baking powder by 1/4 teaspoon to account for the altitude difference. Thanks!
I made them unaltered and they turned out wonderful! they will make a wonderful snack for our cross-country train journey! Thanks!
That’s great! Have a safe journey. Thanks for letting me know.
I love this recipe. It looks so good.
Barbara..these muffins look incredible! The streusel topping with fresh peaches is truly to.die.for – my new favorite phrase lol That said..would love if you submitted these to Twelve Loaves!
What a tasty idea for fresh peaches!
Sounds really, really good!
Muffins are one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast and I’m always looking for a fruit beside blueberries to try. These look amazing.
mmmmmmm. Sold. I’d buy those babies. And the pictures are beautiful.
Ooh, those do sound really good. I’ve never made a muffin with peaches either. Gonna have to try those soon! When is the SJ Farmers’ Market? Drives me crazy that there really isn’t a good one close by and I really miss them.
Your recipe title sure caught my attention, we love peach cobbler. I never thought of trying to use the same flavors in a muffin…brilliant.
Super idea, Barbara. The peaches are marvelous right now too.
Nothing better than peaches and cinnamon!
I have to make these. I’ve been buying peaches by the crates these last few weeks. These would be perfect to make for back to school mornings. Thanks for another great recipe Barb!!!
Peaches in a muffin…must be yummy. I like the ‘crown’!
I got an email question that I thought would be useful to answer on the post:
Can I substitute frozen peaches in this recipe?
I don’t know if I’ve ever baked with frozen peaches, so it will just be my best guess. The recipe I got the idea from said you could use canned peaches, so I’m sure frozen peaches would be an even better substitution.
I’ve seen recipes that used frozen blueberries in muffins that added the frozen berries to the batter. I would be inclined to dice the peaches fairly small while frozen (or thawed slightly if they’re difficult to cut) and add them to the batter still frozen so they thaw during baking. Baking time might be slightly longer.
Or if thawing first or using canned peaches, be sure and drain well first. Also, if there was a lot of ice crystals on the peaches you would want to remove them or thaw them first.
Thanks for the great question! If you try using frozen peaches, please let me know.
I always make blueberry muffins when it’s blueberry season and can’t wait to try your peach cobber version. Fantastic topping on a lovely and moist muffin filled with sweet peaches:)Thanks for linking to us, Barbara:)
Barbara,
I made these for breakfast this morning and they are fantastic. Moist and full of flavor. Thanks!
Hi Kirsta – Thanks for taking the time to let me know you made and loved the muffins! Perfect way to enjoy our delicious Utah peaches. I’m making another batch this morning.
These are great, Barbara! I love what fresh peaches add to baked goods and these simple flavorful treats are the best – and we’d all love these for breakfast! Thanks so much for baking these with us for Twelve Loaves!
These muffins are awesome and perfect for the delicious peaches in season right now! And great job combining two challenges into one, haha!
I will definitely be making these soon! 
These muffins are calling my name! They look incredible! perfect for this time of year!
Oh my gosh, that looks so fresh and delicious and just AWESOME. I love muffins, and these look absolutely perfect. What a great recipe to multi-task on this one!
Your peach cobbler muffins look amazing!
Thanks Faye – they taste as good as they look too.
