FAQS
What makes a muffin moist?
Our pro tip is to make sure you don’t overmix the batter. Just mix until combined.
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh peaches?
You can. Just be sure to drain off as much of the liquid as possible, or you’ll have messy muffins.
Do I have to add the cobbler topping?
You don’t have to do anything that you dont’ want to do. If you don’t want the topping, just add some frosting or powdered sugar and enjoy.
