Description

These Jumbo Caramel Peach Cobbler Muffins are a delightful blend of sweet, caramelized peaches and tender muffin batter, topped with a spiced brown sugar glaze. Featuring juicy chopped peaches mixed with cinnamon and brown sugar, these muffins deliver a warm, comforting flavor perfect for breakfast or dessert. The Greek yogurt adds moistness while keeping the texture light and fluffy, and the caramelized sugar on top creates a deliciously inviting crust.


Ingredients

Scale

Peach Mixture

  • 2 cups chopped peaches
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Muffin Batter

  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup chopped peaches (from peach mixture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two muffin tins with paper liners, alternating spaces to allow room for muffins to expand while baking.
  2. Prepare Peach Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped peaches, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, cinnamon if using, 4 tablespoons melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of this peach mixture into each muffin cup. Bake for 10 minutes until the sauce is bubbling around the peaches.
  3. Make the Batter: While peaches bake, whisk together the remaining 8 tablespoons melted butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, Greek yogurt, and eggs in a large bowl. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring until fully combined. Gently fold in 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the peach mixture into the batter. Let the batter rest for 5 to 15 minutes to hydrate the flour and thicken slightly.
  4. Assemble Muffins: Remove the partially baked peaches from the oven. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tins, filling cups to the top. Spoon the remaining peach mixture over each muffin, gently swirling the peaches into the batter. If extra batter remains, add 1 to 2 teaspoons on top of each muffin for a fuller finish.
  5. Bake Muffins: Bake at 425°F for 8 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 20 to 30 minutes. Bake until the muffin centers are set and edges are nicely browned with some sugars caramelizing on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Use a butter knife to gently loosen and remove each muffin. Serve warm and enjoy the rich caramel and peach flavors.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen peaches; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
  • Cinnamon is optional but adds a warm spice that complements the peaches beautifully.
  • Batter resting time helps improve texture and rise.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency.
  • Ensure muffin tins are not overcrowded to allow even baking and expansion.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
