These muffins are moist, fluffy, and delicious! Additionally, I topped the muffins with a cinnamon streusel topping. The streusel pairs so nicely with these muffins.

To Macerate The Peaches:
- 1/2 cup small diced peaches

While that sits, get the batter and streusel ready…

Then...
Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the muffins.
