Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup salted butter (1 stick, softened)
- 1½ cups white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup sourdough discard or active starter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups brown sugar
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
- 3½ cups diced peaches (or three 15oz cans peaches in juice, drained and diced)
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- Cream together the softened salted butter and white sugar in a large mixing bowl until fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next.
- Stir in the whole milk and sourdough discard (or active starter) until combined.
- Sift together the salt, baking powder, and 3 cups of flour in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Mix the brown sugar, 5 tablespoons of flour, and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar filling.
- Fold in the diced peaches gently, allowing them to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar filling over the batter in each cup.
- Top with remaining muffin batter, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons of whole milk until smooth for the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins before serving.
Notes
Use ripe peaches for the best flavor; frozen or canned peaches can work but are less flavorful.
