- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup oil

- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 cups diced peaches

- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, for streusel topping
- 1 tablespoon cold butter, diced or shredded into small pieces

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line or grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the oil, applesauce, vanilla extract, lightly beaten eggs, brown sugar, and milk.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir just until combined.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches without overmixing.
- Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter.
- For the streusel topping, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour in a small bowl.
- Add the cold butter and work it in with a fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over each muffin.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack and let them finish cooling before serving or storing.
Notes
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- To freeze, cool muffins completely, wrap each one individually, and place them in an airtight freezer-safe container or bag.
- Reheat thawed muffins in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds or in a low oven until warm.
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter so the muffins stay soft and tender.
