## Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)

## Method:

### Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

### Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.

### Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and egg until well combined.

### Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

### Step 5: Fold in the Peaches

Gently fold in the diced peaches, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.

### Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full.

### Step 7: Prepare the Crumb Topping

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, oats, 1/4 cup of flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Add in 1 tablespoon of melted butter and mix until crumbly.

### Step 8: Add the Crumb Topping

Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each muffin, letting the crumbs sit atop the batter.

### Step 9: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

### Step 10: Cool and Serve

Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving, enjoying the inviting aroma filling your kitchen.

## Serving Suggestions & Pairings

These Peach Cobbler Muffins are delightful on their own but pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee. For an afternoon treat, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. They are perfect for brunch gatherings or as a snack for your afternoon tea.

## Storage & Leftovers Guide

To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. If you want them to last longer, consider freezing them. Wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag; they’ll stay fresh for up to three months. Just pop one in the microwave for a quick thaw!

## Kitchen Wisdom & Success Tips

• Tip for Peaches: If using fresh peaches, opt for ripe ones for maximum flavor.
• Don’t Overmix: To retain a fluffy texture, mix the batter until just combined—ignore any lumps!
• Experiment with Spices: Try adding nutmeg or allspice for an extra depth of flavor in the muffins.

## Flavor Variations & Adaptations

• Add Nuts: Incorporate walnuts or pecans for an added crunch.
• Alternate Fruits: Substitute peaches for blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor experience.
• Dairy-Free: Use almond milk or coconut milk and swap out butter for coconut oil.
