Ingredients
  

  • 2–3 slices per cup Fresh or canned peach slices - Drain if canned
  • 6 tablespoon Unsalted butter - Melted
  • ½ cup Brown sugar - Packed
  • Pinch Cinnamon - Optional
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups All-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Milk - Whole milk or substitute
  • ¼ cup Butter - Melted
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 1 12-cup muffin tin (standard size)
  • 2 Mixing bowls (for dry and wet ingredients)
  • Measuring cups & spoons (for accuracy)
  • 1 Small saucepan (for melting butter)
  • 1 Wire cooling rack (for flipping and cooling)

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Divide evenly into 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle brown sugar over butter, add cinnamon, and arrange 2–3 peach slices in each cup.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour wet mixture into dry. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Spoon batter evenly over peach slices, filling each cup about ⅔ full. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let cool 5 minutes, run a knife around edges, then invert muffin tin onto a rack. Rest 2–3 minutes before removing tin. Serve warm or at room temp.
