3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Peach Muffins

Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and flavor.

Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth. Gently fold in the diced peaches.

Combine Wet and Dry

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir carefully until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the muffins tender.

Make the Streusel Topping

In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Assemble and Bake

Pour the muffin batter into the prepared tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle generously with the streusel topping. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the muffins to cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To enjoy later, reheat them in your Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1 for a freshly baked texture.
