Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter (melted and cooled)
  • ¼ cup milk (room temperature)
  • 1 egg (room temperature)
  • 2 medium peaches (peeled, pitted, and cubed)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix melted butter with milk and egg until smooth. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  4. Fold in the cubed peaches and lemon juice until evenly distributed.
  5. In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by mixing chopped pecans, brown sugar, additional flour, and cinnamon with melted butter until crumbly.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter, then sprinkle topping generously over each muffin.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
