Delicious Peach Coffee Cake Muffins
Peach Coffee Cake Muffins are full of juicy peaches, a hint of cinnamon, and a crunchy brown sugar streusel dusted with powdered sugar. The peach flavor is not overpowering and the muffin flavors are delicately balanced.
After all, who doesn’t enjoy a fluffy muffin with a streusel topping?
Why we love this recipe
Serve delicious peach muffins for breakfast, add them to a brunch table, or take a couple to work for a snack.
- It is made with fresh peaches in the muffin batter.

- It’s a great way to use seasonal fruit, it’s currently Florida peach season.
- Perfect for a mid-morning snack with coffee, tea, or milk.

- There’s no need for an electric mixer, just a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.

Tips and Suggestions
- This is an easy peach coffee cake muffin recipe. You mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. This is easier than wet into dry.
- Have all ingredients at room temperature for best results.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon streusel topping on top of each muffin before baking. Gently press the moist crumbs into the muffin tops.
- For best results use the toothpick test to check for doneness. Tops of the muffins should be golden brown. Cool for at least 10 minutes in the muffin pan.
- This is a versatile recipe. Replace a teaspoon of the vanilla extract with almond extract.
- While it’s not necessary, I suggest peeling the peaches before dicing.

More Peach Recipes
Peaches are a favorite fruit in my family. We use them in many recipes including a peach upside-down cake, frozen peach margaritas, and grilled chicken and peaches. A new favorite is peach jam which will be on the blog soon.
Can I use canned peaches in a muffin recipe?
Yes! Just be sure to drain them well. You can reserve the liquid for a glaze if you like. You can also use frozen peaches. Thaw them, discard the liquid, and chop the peaches.
How do you store peach coffee cake muffins?
If you have a large enough airtight container, that’s perfect! If not, and I do not, place them on a plate and cover them with aluminum foil. Another good option is on a cake stand with a cover. They will keep this way for a day or two.
How long can I store peach streusel muffins?
The best way to store muffins is to line the bottom of an airtight container with a paper towel. Place the muffins in a single layer. Add another layer of paper towels on top of the muffins and secure the container. Change out the paper towels if they get damp. Muffins will keep for up to 4 days.
