Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup fresh peaches, diced (or canned peaches, drained)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
- ¼ cup cold butter, cubed (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners and set aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
5. Prepare the Crumble Topping
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, rolled oats, ¼ cup flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Fill and Top the Cupcakes
Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full. Sprinkle a generous amount of the crumble topping over each cupcake.
7. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Expert Tips
- Use Fresh Peaches: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches. If fresh peaches aren’t available, canned peaches (drained well) work too.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in dense cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Storage: Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to a month.
- Variation: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a bright, citrusy twist.
FAQ
Can I use frozen peaches?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Thaw and drain them well before adding them to the batter to avoid excess moisture.
Can I make these cupcakes ahead of time?
Absolutely! These cupcakes taste even better the next day. Store them in an airtight container and enjoy them within 3 days.
What can I serve with these cupcakes?
These cupcakes are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat. For more peach-inspired desserts, check out our Classic Peach Cobbler Recipe.
