Enjoy pops of juicy peaches, a buttery streusel topping, and a sweet vanilla glaze in our best-loved peach muffins!
Peach-filled Gooness!
We love peach season! Our family enjoys harvesting peaches from our trees and using them in various recipes all season – from Fresh Peach Cobbler to these luscious peach muffins.
Fortunately, you can use fresh or frozen peaches to enjoy these muffins all year long! We love them so much we decided to plant another peach tree so we can make them even more often. Because muffins are a favorite breakfast, brunch idea, AND snack in our house, we always try to have the ingredients on hand for these.
Why we love them:
- A quick bite. Muffins store and freeze very well making them a great grab-and-go snack or easy breakfast idea!
- Toppings. These are topped with a simple streusel adding a delightful crunch and sweetness. Did I mention the vanilla glaze?! These are heavenly.
- Fresh or frozen fruit. Again, if you don’t have access to fresh peaches, you can use frozen or canned! See below for tips.
- Change up the size. Customize your muffins by making them jumbo, mini, or standard size. I’ve included instructions for each!
