Bursting with juicy peaches and crowned with a delectable streusel, these muffins are like a slice of cobbler in a portable, bite-sized form. Let's dive right into this mouthwatering adventure!

Ingredients:

For the Muffins:

- 1/2 cup melted butter

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 2 eggs

- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract

- 1/3 cup sour cream

- 1/3 cup milk

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 2 cups fresh or thawed frozen peaches (tossed in 2 tablespoons of flour)

For the Streusel Topping:

- 2 tablespoons melted butter

- 1/3 cup granulated sugar

- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Let's Get Baking:

1. Butter and Sugar Symphony:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your muffin tray with paper liners. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. This is the beginning of our sweet journey. Mix them until they form a creamy concoction that promises a melt-in-your-mouth experience.

2. Egg-cellent Additions:

Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This step adds richness and depth to our muffins. Now, stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and milk. The combination of these ingredients will create a moist and flavorful muffin base.

3. Flour Fusion:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This blend of dry ingredients will give our muffins the perfect texture. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until everything is harmoniously combined.

4. Peachy Perfection:

It's time to introduce our star ingredient—peaches! Toss the fresh or thawed frozen peaches in 2 tablespoons of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. Gently fold these peachy delights into the batter, ensuring an even distribution.

5. Streusel Sensation:

Prepare the streusel topping by combining melted butter, granulated sugar, and flour in a separate bowl. Mix until you have a crumbly, heavenly mixture.

6. Bake to Golden Perfection:

Scoop the muffin batter into your lined muffin tray, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Now, sprinkle a generous amount of the streusel topping over each muffin, adding a delightful crunch and extra sweetness.

7. Bake Times:

- For mini muffins: Bake for 15-18 minutes.

- For standard muffins: Bake for 24-26 minutes.

- For large muffins: Bake for 32-35 minutes.

Keep an eye on them and insert a toothpick into the center to ensure they're baked to perfection. When the toothpick comes out clean, your Peach Cobbler Muffins are ready to take the stage!

These muffins are the epitome of summer, capturing the essence of juicy peaches and the comfort of cobbler. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an anytime treat. So, gather your ingredients and savor a taste of summer in every delightful bite.
