Peach season disappears as fast as summer does and if you don’t make the best of this short window of tasty peach bounty it will be gone for another year! From the first container of fresh Ontario peaches appearing in the supermarkets to the very last, every opportunity must be taken to enjoy them in as many ways as possible.
Besides just biting right into a fresh juicy peach a few Peach Pies are a must as well as Peach Crumble topped with homemade vanilla ice cream. Peach Scones, Quick Breads and Muffins will keep any peach lover happy at breakfast and a batch of peach jam is a good idea for capturing the sweet goodness in a jar to keep you going through the long winter ahead.
Although I already have a good Peach Muffin recipe, today I tried a new one. It was the oil instead of butter and addition of yogourt that piqued my interest. Oil which produces better moisture than butter and yogourt not an ingredient in the present recipe I use. Baked goods using yogourt, sour cream or buttermilk bring taste and texture to another level!
Just as expected, a light, soft, tasty muffin studded with little peach jewels throughout and crowned with a buttery, crumbly topping.
Must make them again before it’s too late!
Yogourt Peach Muffins with Crumble Topping
2 cups all purpose-flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup corn or vegetable oil
1 cup yogourt
1 1/2 cups peeled chopped fresh peaches (about 3 medium)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Peel and chop about 3 medium size peaches.
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda sugar and a pinch of salt into a large bowl.
- Stir in the chopped peaches.
- In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together eggs, oil, and yogourt, until smooth.
- Lightly stir the yogourt mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined. Do not over mix.
- Fill 8 muffin wells for large muffins or 10 wells for medium size muffins.
- Sprinkle tops with crumble.
- Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through..
Crumble
3/4 cup flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons butter melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon
In a small bowl mix together flour, sugar, cinnamon and melted butter with a fork and set aside.
Peel and cut about 3 ripe peaches into small pieces, set aside.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
Add the peaches into the dry ingredients. (see Notes, Tips and Suggestions)
Add oil, yogourt, and eggs into a large measuring cup or bowl.
Whisk together until well blended.
Add to dry ingredients and gently stir together…
…until no trace of flour remains. Do not over mix to prevent dense, tough muffins.
Fill 8 to 10 paper lined muffin wells and top with crumble.
Bake in a preheated 375 degree F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden
and cooked through.
Notes, Tips and Suggestions
- Adding the peaches into the dry ingredients instead of mixing them in at the end disperses them more evenly throughout and coats them with flour to prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the muffin.
- Leave peel on peaches if desired.
- Omit crumble and sprinkle some coarse sugar over top before baking.
- Recipe for crumble makes enough for 2 to 3 batches of muffins. Extra crumble can be used on other favourite muffins as well.
