Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp (10g) baking powder
  • ½ tsp (3g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 large (50g) egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh peaches, peeled and diced into ¼ inch pieces
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (60g) pecans, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly with butter.
  2. Prepare the peaches by peeling and dicing them into ¼ inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the 250g flour, 150g sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined; stop while a few streaks of flour remain to ensure tenderness.
  6. Gently fold in the diced peaches using a toss-and-fold method to prevent them from sinking.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the 60g flour, 100g brown sugar, chopped pecans, and cinnamon.
  8. Add the cold cubed butter to the crumble mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until a sandy texture forms.
  9. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners and top each with a generous portion of the pecan crumble.
  10. Bake according to the temperature settings (starting high for the dome) for approximately 25 minutes.
