Ingredients 
Cups (US) - Metric

  • 2 small fresh peaches (cut in small cubes)
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup butter (melted)
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup greek yogurt (or cream)
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the streusel

  • ⅔ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup butter (melted)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Make the streusel

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Prepare the streusel by mixing all the streusel ingredients together with a spoon or spatula until crumbly. Refrigerate while you make the muffin batter.

Make the muffin batter

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Fold in the peaches, reserving some for topping.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the milk, yogurt, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.

Assemble and bake

  • Divide the batter among paper-lined muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Top with the reserved peach pieces.
  • Sprinkle the streusel generously over each muffin, leaving some larger chunks for a bakery-style topping.
  • Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 13 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use peaches that are ripe but still firm. Very juicy peaches can make the batter too wet.
  • Keep the streusel cold until you're ready to use it.
  • Don't overmix the batter, just stir until everything comes together.
  • Leave some larger streusel chunks for that bakery-style look and texture.
  • Greek yogurt, sour cream, or heavy cream all work well in this recipe.
