Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
In a medium bowl, combine 0.75 cups of milk, 0.33 cups of vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in 1.5 cups of diced peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
To make the streusel topping, combine 0.5 cups of light brown sugar, 0.5 cups of all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add 0.25 cups of cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffin batter in each cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
