For the peach muffins:

  • Place butter and sugars in a large bowl and cream on medium speed for 1 minute. Add eggs and vanilla and mix for an additional 1 minute.

  • Alternatively add dry ingredients and milk to the butter/sugar mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Hand mix in chopped peaches.
  • Place cupcake liners into 12-14 cavities. Spritz each with non-stick cooking spray. Fill each cavity to ¾ full. Place 1-2 tablespoons of crumb topping on each of the uncooked muffins.
  • Bake muffins in preheated oven for 5 minutes. Without opening the door, decrease the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.

For the glaze:

  • Combine sugar, whipping cream and vanilla in a small bowl. Whisk until completely smooth.
  • Pour glaze over slightly warm muffins. Serve and enjoy!
