Roasted Peach Muffins with Cinnamon Streusel

I'm not sure why it never occurred to me to put peaches in a muffin. I have used berries of all kind and apples, but peaches never crossed my mind, let alone roasted peaches. In fact I have never even roasted peaches before. But I have to say these muffins were absolutely delicious. The roasted peaches were delicious in the muffins and the streusel topping was just made them even more delicious.

Roasted Peach Muffins with Cinnamon Streusel

Ingredients:

• 3 large peaches, cut into 1- inch sized pieces (about 2 cups)
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/3 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 5 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup milk

Cinnamon Streusel

• 1/3 cup+ 2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup+ 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/4+ 2 tablespoon chopped walnuts
• 4 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Place the diced peaches in a small baking dish and roast for 30 minutes.
2. Increase the oven temperature to 400º F. Line muffin tins with liners.
3. In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking powder, cinnamon and baking soda.
4. In another bowl whisk together the sugar, yogurt, melted butter, eggs, vanilla and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix just until incorporated. Fold in the roasted peaches and fill the muffins cups 3/4 full of batter.
5. In a medium bowl, combine both sugars, walnuts, flour and cinnamon. Add in the melted butter and stir until everything is evenly combined. Evenly sprinkle the streusel over top of the muffins. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean and the muffins are lightly browned.

Enjoy!!!

Notes:
The original recipe made 12 cupcakes, but I got 20 out of the batter. Part of this reason was that I used my silicone muffin liners which do not hold as much batter as paper liners.
