Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 2 teaspoons for coating peaches
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups diced peaches
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners, spraying them with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt, then set aside.
- In a stand mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Incorporate the Greek yogurt and mix until all ingredients are combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the mixture, stirring on low until just combined to avoid overmixing. Toss diced peaches with 2 teaspoons of flour, and gently fold into the batter.
- Evenly distribute the muffin batter among the prepared cups using a large ice cream scoop.
- In a small bowl, mix turbinado sugar and ground cinnamon and sprinkle over the muffins before baking.
- Bake for 20-24 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
