We got about a hundred peaches from our peach tree this year. Normally the squirrels get them all before they’re larger than an walnut. I wouldn’t think they would be too tasty at that size but it didn’t stop the squirrels the prior three years. I don’t know what we did differently this year, if anything. I’d love to hear any tips about how to stop the squirrels in the future.
With all the extra fruit, we gave a lot of the peaches away and my husband was eating a few a day but I still wanted to make a quick easy recipe with some of them. I had some recipes pinned and an internet search returned a lot of peach pies, cobblers and crisps but I wanted something a little different. Then I found Peach Cobbler Muffins on Barbara Bakes. Barbara has a lovely website and she had posted her recipe last year so I hoped she wouldn’t mind. These muffins are great for breakfast. My hubby gave me a hearty – “I like ’em.” And, they’re so moist too.
What’s your favorite peach recipe?
Enjoy!
Peach Cobbler Muffins
Yield: 15 – 16 muffins Cook Time: 25 minutes
Batter:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups (2 large or 7 small) fresh peaches, pitted and diced (I cut them into very small pieces)
Streusel:
- 8 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 teaspoons oil (I used olive oil)
Directions:
Step 1: For the Streusel: Mix together sugar, flour and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add oil to the sugar mixture. Mix well to incorporate; the final mixture will look like wet sand. Set aside.
Step 2: For the batter: Line a regular-sized cupcake/muffin pan with paper liners or spray with cooking spray. Mix together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer for 3 to 4 minutes; the mixture will look pale in color. Add eggs, vanilla and milk to the butter mixture. Beat to combine.
Step 3: Reserve 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture. Stir the remaining flour mixture into the butter mixture; stop when combined and do not over mix. Mix the reserved flour into the peaches. Add the peaches to the batter and stir.
Step 4: Fill the cupcake wells up to 3/4 full with batter. Top muffins with streusel. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes. When done, a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean. Cool the muffins in the pan about 10 minutes. Depan the muffins and cool completely on a rack.
Storing: Store in a sealed plastic container for a few days.
Enjoy!!!

Your muffins look scrumptious. I should make another batch soon.
Barbara,
You got me started on these so you know how good they are.
Your peach cobbler muffins look delicious! I like the idea of the streusel topping 🙂
Thank you for your email. I tried to reply but I keep getting undeliverable messages. Just wanted you to know that in answer to your question, we prefer a link directly in the post for Hearth and Soul as we do publicize every post via Pinterest, and selected posts via other social media channels. However it is up to you at the end of the day how you link back.
Hope to see you at Hearth and Soul one day soon 🙂
April,
Thanks for getting back to me. I don’t know what’s going on with my e-mail but I’ll check it out.
Those sound so delicious! I wish I had a peach tree 🙂
have some extra peaches from our recent “apple picking ” trip definitely going to make these.

Glad you liked them. Hope yours turn out as well as mine did.

Lizzy,
I bet your muffins will be delish.

Marcie,
Thanks for stopping by.
These sound wonderful – love peaches and my husband would be all for these – he loves them too and muffins. Have a frig full of peaches and this is the second recipe I have found on our party that I will be trying. Thanks so much for sharing on the BBQ Block Party. Have a great holiday weekend.
Thanks for stopping by. So glad you liked the recipe.
These look delish! I happen to have the last batch of peaches off of the tree ready for a fabulous recipe! Thanks so much for sharing on #cakefriday!
Becky,
Thanks for stopping by. This is a great way to use up some of those peaches.
We finally had to chop down our peach tree after it was getting very scraggly. In its lst year though it did give us a giant bounty. We also had plum trees and I think the squirrels liked them better.
Abbe,
We have pear trees and they ate all of those. I’m just glad that we got peaches this year.
These look like something my small people (and I) would enjoy for breakfast. Thank you for sharing at Food on Friday.
TaMara,
Thanks for stopping by. Your kids would love them and you’re getting them to eat additional fruit too.
looks delicious….just mouthwatering!
Kalyan,
Thanks. Glad you liked them.
These would be a great breakfast before school for my kiddos. I was just at my mom’s helping pick her peach tree -SOO many peaches, lol. Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friday
Adelina,
It’s great to have home grown peaches isn’t it? I would definitely use some to make these muffins.
Your muffins look delicious. Thanks for sharing at Foodie Friends Friday. Squirrels are tough to keep away. Some people put out dried corn to offer hoping it keeps them happy, maybe just until the peaches are big enough for you to use. Just a thought.
Cindy,
Thanks for the tip to keep the squirrels away. So glad you liked the muffins.
Thank you so much for sharing your awesome recipe with Full Plate Thursday. Hope you have had a great weekend and have a fabulous week.
Come Back Soon!
Miz Helen
