TIPS

  • Mix the dry ingredients together first, and then add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture
  • Use paper liners to line your muffin tin cups
  • Using a cookie scoop or large ice cream scoop makes filling the muffin tin so easy
  • Parboil peaches and then dunk in ice water for easy peeling
  • No time to peel peaches? Use canned peaches instead  – just be sure to drain the excess peach juice

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.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH PEACH COBBLER MUFFINS

A freshly brewed pot of your favorite coffee or tea?

  • Use brown sugar instead of white for the “cobbler” topping. 
  • One reader used canned peach pie filling! Try it! 
  • Use jumbo muffin tins (double the recipe) for really big muffins!

Where did I get my inspiration for this recipe?

Well.

Our Peach Cobbler Pound Cake is the #1 recipe for Pie Lady Bakes right now. And everyone loves fresh peach cobbler too, especially when ripe peaches are everywhere!

So I wondered about making a fluffy moist peach muffin, just like grandma’s peach cobbler and then took it one step further by adding a traditional cobbler topping.
