These peach-cobbler muffins are soft, buttery, and filled with sweet peaches, then finished with a crumbly topping and a warm honey-butter drizzle. They make a cozy breakfast treat or a simple dessert with the flavor of homemade cobbler in every bite.
Key Ingredients:
Flour
Use all-purpose flour, such as White Lily or King Arthur, for light, fluffy muffins.
Butter:
It’s very important to have really good butter, if it is unsalted, or salt in the butter, then you adjust the salt in your recipe. European butter like Kerry Gold is always better. Any style of butter that is out there, works just as well. I like the salted butter, it just gives a great flavor to whatever you are baking..
Baking powder
Is a leavening agent makes any cake of muffin light and fluffy
Cinnamon: Adds warm spice.
Peaches: Add sweetness and fruit flavor of summer
Honey: Adds natural sweetness. Always great when it’s local.
Peach-Cobbler Muffins with Honey-Butter Drizzle
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Serves: 8
Ingredients
Muffins
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
1 egg
4 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup peaches, diced small
1/2c. sour cream
Directions
Prepare a muffin tin with nonstick spray and line it with cupcake liners.
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into a medium bowl.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and egg.
Beat until the mixture is light and pale yellow.
Fold in the peaches with a spatula, then gently stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners using an ice cream scoop or spoon.
Crumble Topping
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, for sprinkling
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and softened butter with your hands until the mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the muffin batter.
Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for 15 to 20 minutes more, or until the centers spring back lightly when touched. You can also test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the muffins cool while you prepare the honey-glazed peaches.
Honey-Glazed Peaches
1/2 firm peach, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the honey and a small sprinkle of cinnamon.
Once the mixture is smooth and heated through, add the sliced peaches. Arrange them in a single layer so they are not too close together in the pan.
Cook until the peaches are just beginning to turn translucent, less than 1 minute per side, then carefully flip them. Remove the slices one at a time and place one glazed peach slice on top of each muffin.
Finish with a light sprinkle of cinnamon and drizzle any remaining glaze over the tops of the muffins.
