Peach Muffins

Peach streusel muffins! A moist fresh peach muffin with a crisp streusel top and a vanilla glaze. The perfect summer muffin to compliment your breakfast!

Baking in the summertime is so much easier with fresh fruit on hand! Using fresh peaches in this muffin recipes makes them extra delicious. If your like me and live in an area where peaches are non existent most of the year, you can use frozen peaches, but there truly is nothing like using fresh peaches in this recipe. You can also sub the fruit in this recipe for strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, really anything you want. If I happen to get any fresh huckleberries this summer I will be using them in combination with the fresh peaches. Huckleberries and peaches are a match made in heaven.

I am all about texture and as I bite into these muffins I get a moist cake that melts in your mouth followed by the crunch of the streusel top. Add a glaze onto any coffee cake or muffin and I am here for it! While I was making these my kids were just waiting to lick up the extra glaze that dripped off the muffin tops onto the parchment below. As a kid I remember doing this too when my mom would make anything with a glaze. One of my favorites being the tart lemon glaze that dripped off of my mothers lemon pound cake https://www.tripletreebakes.com/recipes/recipe/721857e2-cc39-4294-ba09-6dbe9925074b.

I love a good muffin, I am always so disappointed when I spend $4.50 on a muffin at a coffee shop or bakery only to discover that it is stale or dry. I am very picky about my baked goods and I believe for a muffin to be at its finest, it was be moist, the paper liner must peel away easily (hint... put the liners into the tin first then spray the liners and muffin tin with non stick spray! Never sticks!), it must be fresh, and flavorful. These peach muffins are ALL THE THINGS!
