Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 items large eggs
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar
- 0.5 cups pecans, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for praline topping)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for praline topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the diced peaches gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
In a small bowl, prepare the praline topping by combining the brown sugar, chopped pecans, butter, and flour. Mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Evenly divide the muffin batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle the praline topping generously over each muffin.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
