Homemade Peach Cobbler Muffins

Homemade Peach Cobbler Muffins always remind me of the small-town farmers market I visited one summer morning when the air smelled like ripe peaches and warm baked goods. I picked up a basket of juicy yellow peaches and knew I had to bake something special with them that weekend so I could hold on to that feeling just a bit longer.

I wanted something that tasted like peach cobbler but worked for breakfast or a cozy snack so I created these muffins with a soft crumbly texture and a sweet peachy bite in every single one. The cinnamon sugar streusel on top gives them that nostalgic cobbler vibe and trust me when I say they disappear fast once they’re out of the oven!

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• Fresh peaches – The juicy star of the show adding bursts of natural sweetness
• All-purpose flour – Forms the soft and sturdy muffin base
• Baking powder – Gives the muffins their perfect rise
• Baking soda – Adds a little extra lift and tenderness
• Ground cinnamon – Brings that warm peach cobbler spice
• Salt – Balances the sweetness
• Brown sugar – Adds deep molasses flavor and keeps the muffins moist
• Granulated sugar – Sweetens the muffins and streusel topping
• Eggs – Bind everything together while keeping it rich
• Greek yogurt or sour cream – Makes the muffins soft and tender
• Unsalted butter – Adds richness and buttery flavor
• Vanilla extract – Rounds out all the flavors beautifully

Tools You’ll Need

• Muffin tin – To bake the muffins in perfect individual portions
• Mixing bowls – For mixing dry and wet ingredients separately
• Whisk and spatula – To blend ingredients without overmixing
• Measuring cups and spoons – For accuracy and consistency
• Knife and cutting board – To dice the peaches evenly
• Cooling rack – To let the muffins cool down without getting soggy bottoms

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the oven and pan

I start by preheating my oven to 375°F and lining my muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl I whisk together flour baking powder baking soda salt and cinnamon.

Step 3: Combine the wet ingredients

In a separate bowl I mix melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar then I add the eggs vanilla and Greek yogurt and stir until smooth.

Step 4: Bring it all together

I add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir gently just until combined then I fold in the diced peaches making sure they’re evenly distributed.

Step 5: Make the streusel topping

In a small bowl I mix flour sugar cinnamon and a bit of butter with a fork until crumbly.

Step 6: Fill and top the muffin cups

I spoon the batter into the muffin cups about ¾ full and sprinkle each one with the cinnamon streusel topping.

Step 7: Bake until golden

I bake them for 18–22 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean then I let them cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a rack.

Tips

If your peaches are extra juicy I pat them dry a bit before folding them into the batter to avoid soggy muffins. I also sometimes freeze a few muffins for busy mornings they reheat beautifully in the microwave or toaster oven!
