Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper muffin liners.

Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until the ingredients are moistened. Be careful not to overmix.
6
Fold in the diced peaches gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
7
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup with the batter, ensuring they are about two-thirds full.
8
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.

While the muffins are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar by mixing the white sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

After 15 minutes of baking, remove the muffins from the oven and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the tops.

Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 3 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
