Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 2 cups chopped peaches
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
Supporting Ingredients:
- 5 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by preheating the oven to 425F and lining 2 muffin tins with paper liners, ensuring enough room for muffin expansion.
- Toss 2 cups chopped peaches with ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 5 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract in a mixing bowl.
- Distribute 2 teaspoons of the peach mixture into each muffin cup and bake for 10 minutes until sauce bubbles around the fruit.
- Whisk 5 tablespoons melted salted butter, ¾ cup brown sugar, ¾ cup Greek yogurt, and 3 eggs in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Gradually incorporate 2 cups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt into the wet mixture, mixing until fully blended.
- Gently fold ¼ to ⅓ cup of the prepared peach mixture into the batter, creating subtle swirls.
- Allow the batter to rest for 5-15 minutes to develop flavor and texture.
- Remove the pre-baked peaches from the oven and evenly distribute the muffin batter among the cups, filling each to the top.
- Spoon remaining peach mixture over each muffin and create gentle swirls with a knife.
- Add 1-2 teaspoons extra batter to muffin tops if needed.
- Bake at 425F for 8 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350F and continue baking 20-30 minutes until centers set and edges brown.
- Remove from oven and let caramelization occur naturally.
- Cool muffins in tins for 5 minutes, then carefully remove with a butter knife.
Notes
- Always use ripe, juicy peaches for the most flavorful muffins and ensure they’re diced into small, uniform pieces.
- Let the batter rest before baking to help develop a more tender crumb and allow flour to fully absorb liquid.
- If watching sugar intake, substitute half the brown sugar with a sugar alternative like stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
- For gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free baking blend to maintain the muffins’ soft texture.
