  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon ground allspice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup packed light or dark brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • ½ cup plain yogurt or sour cream at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons milk at room temperature
  • 1 ¾ cups peeled chopped peaches about 3 peaches

Vanilla Icing (Optional)

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons heavy cream or milk for a thinner consistency
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • Make the crumb topping: Mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter together in a small bowl until combined. Add the flour and use a fork to gently mix until crumbs form. Don’t over-mix into a paste. Just mix until it is crumbly. Set aside.
  • Make the muffins: Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, yogurt or sour cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then high speed until mostly creamy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry ingredients and milk into the wet ingredients and beat until no flour pockets remain. Fold in the chopped peaches.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into each cup or liner, filling each all the way to the top. Spoon crumb topping on each, gently pressing it down so it sticks.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F; then, without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 16–19 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before unwrapping.
  • Make the icing: Whisk all icing ingredients together and drizzle over warm or cooled muffins.
  • Iced or plain muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, especially when warm. The icing is optional but adds a sweet finish.
