Muffin Ingredients

The ingredients for this recipe are simple: flour, sugar, butter, vanilla, eggs, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, peaches and blueberries.

Sour Cream: the sour cream adds a nice creaminess to the batter. If you don’t have sour cream you can substitute greek yogurt.
Peaches: I like to use fresh peaches in this recipe when possible. You can use the peach whether it is ripe or not. If you don’t have fresh peaches, frozen work just be sure to thaw them first and dry off any excess moisture.
Blueberries: this is another one that is great fresh but frozen works too. Just make sure you thaw the blueberries before using and pat away any moisture.

The streusel topping for these muffins is made with just five ingredients: flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. You can omit the topping if you like, but it adds another level of crunch and flavor.

How to Make Blueberry Peach Muffins

This is a simple muffin recipe that comes together quick. The recipe makes 18 muffins, so you will need to use two muffins pans lined with cupcake liners.

To start, preheat the oven 375 degrees. Place the cupcake liners in the muffin tins. When it comes to fruit muffins, liners will work better than just using nonstick cooking spray.

Step 1: whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Step 2: in a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to mix together the melted butter, sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla. Beat for about two minutes until light and fluffy.

Step 3: stir in the flour mixture. Use a rubber spatula and make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Step 4: add in the diced peaches and blueberries. If using frozen, be sure the fruit is thawed and dry any excess moisture. Fold the fruit into the batter using a rubber spatula.

How to Make Streusel Topping

The streusel topping is optional on this recipe, but oh so necessary! It’s just a few ingredients and it add so much flavor to the recipe.

Step 5: in a bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

Step 6: add in the melted butter. Stir until the mixture is moistened and resembles a coarse crumb.

Step 7: use a muffin scoop to scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Place about a tablespoon of the streusel mixture on top of each of the muffins.

Step 8: bake the muffins for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for a couple of minutes before moving to wire rack to cool completely.

Blueberry Peach Muffins are best eaten at room temperature. They have the tendency to stick to the cupcake wrapper if you remove it when they are warm.

Muffin Tips and FAQs

Muffins are a breakfast staple! I always like to have a batch on hand for a quick breakfast or snack. Here are my tips and tricks for making the best muffins.

Use cupcake liners when making fruit muffins like these blueberry peach muffins. The fruit tends to stick to the sides of the tin and are more difficult to remove.
If your diced peach happens to be very juicy, pat it dry before adding to the batter.
Frozen fruit can be used in replace of fresh fruit in most muffin recipes, just be sure to thaw it ahead of time and dry any excess moisture.
Keep muffins uniform in size using a muffin scoop. This will ensure even cooking time for all of the muffins.

Why should you use sour cream in muffins?

Sour cream adds lots of moisture to muffins keeping them tender and light. Contrary to buttermilk, sour cream adds the texture and moisture while keeping the batter thick and not runny.

How to make a streusel topping for muffin?

The crumbly crunchy topping on a muffin is a simple mixture of flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and butter. You can also add cinnamon or other spices. Mix it together and spoon some on the muffin before baking.

Do peaches need to be peeled for baking?

Whether or not you peel your peach depends on the type of peach you are using. White peaches tend to have a thinner skin, which you don’t need to remove. Thicker skins should be removed before using for baking.
