Peach Cobbler Muffins



I decided to try something different. I hope you all enjoy.

This recipe takes a while because of the extra steps, so don't attempt it if you don't have time to kill. I've been procrastinating homework, so I have time to kill.

I didn't like any of the recipes for Peach Cobbler Muffins that I found online, so I adapted my muffin recipe to suit my needs. First, I made a crust, because a crunch topping is always awesome on Peach Cobbler.

The Topping

2 TBSP of melted butter
1 cup of crushed up cereal



I forgot to measure how much Life Cereal I crumbled up, but it made about a cup once it was all smooshed. You can use any kind of cereal for the crust, or Graham Cracker if you prefer. I just had Life at home today. The smaller the pieces and the more butter you use the more the crust will incorporate in the muffin mix. So I kept the butter amount low and kept the pieces of cereal larger than if I was doing this for some kind of cake crust.

Line a muffin tin and put about 1/2 TBSP of the crush mixture in each liner, just enough to cover the entire bottom. Keep the rest, because it will be sprinkled on the top of each muffin.




The Muffins

I used my basic muffin recipe for these, which I'm sure many of you are already aware of, and added some spices for that Peach Cobbler Fall Dessert Yummy Taste.

In a small bowl, mix together:

2 cups flour
2 tsp of baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp of cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp nutmeg

In a large bowl, mix together:
2 eggs (whisk them before adding other stuff)
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla

Add the dry stuff to the wet stuff.

1 large peach, diced (I don't ever peel mine, just toss the fuzzy stuff with the pieces. I also use large peach chunks, because it's SO good to just bite into a large piece of peach). Use a spatula to fold in the peach pieces so they don't break apart.



Fill the cups to the top, sprinkle with left over topping. Press the topping down a bit into the batter, so more of it sticks and it doesn’t come off after cooking. Bake for 25 minutes at 375. Makes about 12 muffins.





The Vanilla Glaze



1 cup powdered sugar
1 TBSP of milk
2 tsp of vanilla

This glaze is pretty thick. If you want it thinner, just add more milk.



I hope you Enjoy!!!
