Ingredients

For the Dough

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1/2 cup yogurt

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 Tablespoons milk (any kind)

1 and 1/2 cups peeled, chopped peaches (3 peaches)

For the Crumb Topping

1/3 cup packed light or dark brown sugar

1 Tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

For the Glaze

1 cup confectioners’ sugar

3 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk for a less creamy texture)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1

First, make the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, combine both sugars, the cinnamon, and melted butter. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the flour. The crumb topping will be thick and crumbly. Set aside.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 425 °F. Spray an 18-count muffin pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Step 3

Make the muffins: In a medium bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat on high until creamed, about 2 full minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then turn up to high speed until the mixture is combined and uniform in texture. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

Step 4

In a large bowl, toss together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, all-spice, and salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and slowly mix with a whisk. Add the milk, gently whisking until combined and little lumps remain. Fold in the peaches with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.

Step 5

Spoon the muffin batter evenly between all 18 muffin tins. There may be enough to make extra muffins, if there were a few extra peach chunks thrown in. Fill the muffin tins until they are full all the way up to the top. Press a handful of the crumb topping into the top of each; crumble it with your hands to make some big chunks.

Step 6

Bake for 5 minutes at 425 °F, then keeping the muffins in the oven, lower the oven temperature to 350 °F and bake for 15-19 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Make the glaze: whisk all the ingredients together and drizzle over warm muffins.

Serve warm or cold. Bon Appetit!
