Southern Plate’s Peach Cobbler Muffins

These Peach Cobbler Muffins with their big chunks of peaches and just the right amount of cinnamon are a perfect snack or breakfast treat.

peach cobbler muffins

Every now and then I get a hitch in my step to do something and can’t seem to move beyond it til I done did whatever it was I had a hankerin’ to do (that sentence makes a lot more sense if you say it with a Southern accent, honest). Last week I got to thinking about muffins. You see, my mother thinks muffins are the second coming. She’s always looking for a new muffin recipe. Well, I got to thinking that we didn’t really have a be all, end all peach muffin recipe and isn’t that a shame? Of course it is

What would be the perfect peach muffin? Oooh! If it tasted like Mama’s peach cobbler, that would be good. It would have to have big old chunks of peaches and brown sugar, too, with just enough cinnamon to pull it all together.

So next thing you know I went to my personal playground, which is known to some as the kitchen here at Bountiful, and after adding a little of this and a little of that, Peach Cobbler Muffins were born. I called up Daddy, who was in the area working, and had him stop off to take some home to my most honored taste tester: My Mama.

I received the ultimate praise: She asked for the recipe. So I’m sharing it with y’all today, too. Hope you like it as much as we do.

ingredients

You’ll need: Quick oats, oil, self rising flour*, vanilla, canned peaches, eggs, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

I just noticed that there are two bottles of vanilla in this photograph. ~sighs~ These kinds of things have been happening at my house ever since I was forced to buy a bottle of pure vanilla because the grocery store was out of imitation. There has been a rivalry and I can only assume it led to the pure vanilla jumping into this photograph at the last moment, front and center. Just ignore one of the bottles there, your choice.

*To make your own self rising flour, see my FAQ page.

drain peaches

Drain your peaches really well and pour them in a bowl.

chop peachesChop them up coarsely with a knife.

You can used diced peaches if you like but I really like the big ole chunks you make this way!

add eggs

Add your eggs.

add oil

and your oil

stir to combine

Stirry, stirry!

add vanilla

Toss in your vanilla.

I FINALLY finished off that little bottle of pure vanilla.

Sooooooooooooo, Sunday I went to Sam’s Club by myself.

~pauses to marvel at that sentence, having never thought she’d ever say such a thing~

Anyway, I bought the biggest whooptee thing of imitation vanilla I’ve ever seen in my whole entire life. Paid less than four bucks for it, too! No more pure vanilla! I prefer vanilla that just comes right out and says “Hey, I’m not the real thing but I wanna help ya cook anyway and I’ll do my best!”.

I find that pure vanilla tends to put on airs. Pure vanilla wants to be all measured out and used sparingly because it’s “pure”. Imitation just lets you pour it on in there straight from the bottle! We’s jes plain folks here, ain’t got room for snobbiness in my kitchen.

prepare topping

Place brown sugar and flour in a large mixing bowl.

I use light and dark brown sugar interchangeably in my recipes, based on what I have on hand, but I prefer dark sugar.

I have no idea how light brown sugar keeps making it into my pantry but it may have some sort of secret association with pure vanilla…

add cinnamon

Add your cinnamon.

add oats

Add your oats.

I dearly love oats.

combine dry ingredients

Stir all of that up with a fork.

add dry ingredients to wet

Pour the dry stuff into the wet stuff.

combine

and stir it up.

I’m not gonna encourage you to eat batter that has raw eggs in it or anything like that, coz I know none of us EVER taste the batter, right?

I’m jes gonna say that if you were to pick up that spoon right there and it happened to have a good glob of that brown sugary batter with a big old peach chunk in it, it sure would be good – or so I’m imagining. ~winks~

prepare pan

Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.

This looks like a mini muffin tin to me for some reason but it’s regular sized…

divide mix among muffin cups

Fill each cup with batter. This batter doesn’t rise much so you can fill them all the way to the top.

baked muffins

Bake at 400 for about twenty minutes, or until browned lightly on the top. When they come out, let them sit about five minutes and then take a spoon and carefully go around all of the edges before removing them from the pan to cool.

But eat one hot when no one is looking, coz you done worked this hard and you deserve to taste one. Aren’t they perty?

  1. How about going really Southern and throwing in a few chopped pecans? Now, being a proper Georgia girl, pecans and peaches is something I know I will have to try! I think it’s a law here…..

  2. Christy!!!!!

    These muffins are out of this world GREAT! My fiance will not eat fruit. He was looking crazy when I told him that I was making peach cobbler muffins. After dinner I made him try one. His face went from a frown to a slight smile. I went upstairs to answer the phone. When I came back, he had demolished 2 additional muffins. It was hilarious!!

  3. I made these muffins the first day that you posted them! ( like someone else said,I made them with that giant can of peaches that I had in my pantry just waiting to be put to good use!) These muffins weren’t just good they were out-of-this-world good! I will make them again and again! Thanks for sharing!

  4. Ok Christy, I have a question for you. What if you DON’T love oats, like you do, is there something else you could substitute to make them come out. I know, I know! Just a thought, but they look so good, but I don’t like oats. Thanks for all you do!

    1. Hey Kim,
      No worries! There is just 1/4 Cup of oats in this and you really won’t know they are in there (ESPECIALLY if you use quick oats) but they help support the muffin when it’s baked. I promise promise promise you won’t know they are in there with this recipe.
      I wouldn’t steer ya wrong if it’s somethin’ I know you don’t like!

      Gratefully,
      Christy 🙂

      1. Hey Christy!
        Would Old Fashioned oats be ok-CUS that’s what I have. 🙂
        Also-My Mama gave me some peaches she frooze-I thought they would be great-but wasn’t sure if I had to thaw them first.. Thanks!

  5. Our neighbor has had some real sadness come to him so I’m going to fix a batch of these today and bring them over. I hope it helps just a little bit. i’m pretty sure these would help me!

    1. Dear Erin,
      You are so very kindhearted to bake for him. In today’s world where it’s so easy to reach for a card or even order one and have it sent online , I can’t think of a more compassionate and thoughtful way to physically show someone you care like baking does.

      In the old days folks just naturally tended to do this but in our age of convenience it seems to fall to the wayside, which makes your efforts all the more meaningful.
      My thoughts will be with you and your neighbor today, I know your thoughtfulness will be a sincere comfort to him,
      Gratefully,
      Christy
