Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh ones?

Yes, you can substitute canned peaches for fresh ones in this recipe.

Just make sure to drain the canned peaches before adding them to the batter.

What can I use if I don’t have whole milk?

If you don’t have whole milk, you can use 2% or even skim milk as a substitute.

However, whole milk will give the muffins a slightly richer texture.

Can I make these muffins ahead of time?

Yes, you can make these muffins ahead of time.

They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.

If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate them for up to a week.

Can I freeze Peach Cobbler Muffins?

Absolutely! These muffins can be frozen for longer storage.

Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag.

They can be frozen for up to three months.

What other fruits can I use in this recipe?

While peaches are the star in this recipe, you can experiment with other fruits like berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) or even diced apples.

Just make sure the fruit is in small pieces, similar to the size of the peach chunks.

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh or canned peaches?

Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before adding to the muffin batter.

Excess moisture from frozen peaches may affect the texture of the muffins.

How do I store leftover Peach Cobbler Muffins?

Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.

If you need to store them longer, refrigerate for up to a week.

To maintain freshness, you can also freeze them for up to three months.

Can I omit the streusel topping?

Yes, you can omit the streusel topping if you prefer a simpler muffin.

The streusel adds a sweet and crunchy element, but the muffins will still be delicious without it.

What can I use as a substitute for vegetable oil?

You can substitute vegetable oil with other neutral-flavored oils like canola oil or even melted coconut oil.

This substitution won’t significantly alter the taste or texture of the muffins.

Can I make mini muffins with this recipe?

Yes, you can make mini Peach Cobbler Muffins using a mini muffin tin.

Just reduce the baking time since mini muffins will bake faster than regular-sized muffins.

Start checking for doneness around 10-12 minutes.
