Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 units Large egg
• 1.5 cups Fresh peaches (diced)
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour (for crumble)
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar (for crumble)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed, for crumble)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the muffin batter.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tins, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

In a small bowl, prepare the crumble topping by mixing the flour and sugar. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the muffin batter.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra shortcake-inspired touch!
