These Vegan Peach Coffee Cake Muffins are lightly spiced with cinnamon, full of fresh peach and topped with plenty of vegan streusel. These muffins only take a few minutes to make and freeze beautifully. The perfect quick breakfast to make during peach season!
I love making muffins! No matter the season, there is always something delicious to toss into muffins. In the Winter I love to make Vegan Cranberry Orange Muffins, and in the Spring, I'm mixing up batches of Vegan Carrot Muffins.
But, since its stone fruit season, what better muffin to make than peach? So lets get into this recipe.
Ingredient Notes
Flour: Regular all purpose flour, here. I always recommend King Arthur Flour.
Baking Powder: For leavening.
Cinnamon: I love the combination of peach and cinnamon.
Salt: For balance.
Sugar: Sugar adds sweetness and also moisture and structure to baked goods.
Apple Sauce: Apple sauce keeps these Vegan Peach Coffee Cake Muffins nice and moist.
Melted Vegan Butter: I recommend Soy-Free Earth Balance Buttery Sticks or Country Crock Plant Butter.
Non-Dairy Milk: I used oat milk but any milk will work.
Vanilla Extract: For a background flavor.
Fresh Peach: I love to use fresh peaches to make Vegan Peach Cobbler or Caramelized Peaches. And they are so delicious in these muffins!
Method
To make these Vegan Peach Coffee Cake Muffins, first, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
Then, combine the sugar, apple sauce, melted vegan butter, plant milk and vanilla in a large bowl.
Next, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula to combine.
Now, add the peaches and fold them in.
Finally, fill the lined muffin tin, top with plenty of streusel and bake!
How to Make Vegan Streusel
The streusel for these Vegan Peach Coffee Cake Muffins is quick and simple.
Just combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and vegan butter in a small bowl and use a fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until no butter chunks remain.
And if you are a streusel-lover like me, you have to make my Cherry Coffee Cake or my Vegan Apple Coffee Cake!
Ripe Fresh Peaches Only
Be sure to use only ripe fresh peaches for this recipe. Under-ripe peaches don't have much flavor so you probably won't be able to taste them in the finished muffins.
Frozen peaches are too watery and don't have enough flavor.
Top Recipe Tip
Gently fold the chopped peach into the muffin batter with a spatula. Try not to smash the peaches.
My Favorite Muffin or Cupcake Pan
My muffin tin is by Wilton and I really love it. You can use any muffin tin you have.
I don't recommend a silicone muffin pan as it bakes a little differently.
Storage
To store, transfer these Vegan Peach Coffee Cake Muffins to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to three days.
Or freeze for up to a month and reheat in a toaster oven.
