Detailed Steps
Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering and prepping all your ingredients. Use cold butter for the crumb topping to get a crisp texture.
Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sift the dry ingredients to avoid lumps and ensure an even mix.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the applesauce, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat the eggs well to help bind the ingredients and improve texture.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Fold in Peaches: Gently fold in the chopped peaches. For even distribution and to prevent them from sinking, toss the peaches in a bit of flour before adding to the batter.
Prepare the Crumb Topping: Mix oats, flour, coconut sugar, and cinnamon, then cut in cold butter or coconut oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will give your muffins a nice, crunchy topping.
Fill Muffin Tin: Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin using an ice cream scoop for consistency. This ensures each muffin is the same size and bakes evenly.
Bake and Check Doneness: Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the tin halfway through for even browning. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Cool Muffins: Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps prevent sogginess and ensures they cool evenly.
