Ingredients
- 2-3 nectarines as needed, Notes 1, 2
Crumb topping (Note 3):
- 120 g all-purpose flour 4.2 oz/ 1 cup
- 100 g granulated sugar 3.5 oz/ ½ cup
- pinch of salt
- 110 g unsalted butter room temperature, 3.5 oz/ ½ stick
Muffin batter:
- 110 g unsalted butter soft, 3.5 oz/ ½ stick
- 150 g granulated sugar 5.5 oz/ ¾ cup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 g all-purpose flour 7 oz/ 1 ⅔ cups
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 125 g sour cream 4.5 oz/ ½ cup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Nectarines: Chop them into regular pieces and set them aside. 2 to 3 nectarines
- Crumb or streusel topping: Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add pieces of soft butter and combine the ingredients with a knife or with your fingers (I prefer to use the fingers) until combined but still clumpy. Don’t over-mix, or the mixture will become a paste. Set aside until needed. 120 g/ 1 cup flour + 100 g/ ½ cup sugar + a pinch of salt + 110 g/ ½ stick butter
- Muffin batter: Place all the ingredients in the large bowl and mix until the batter is smooth. 110 g/ ½ stick butter + 150 g/ ¾ cup sugar + 2 large eggs + 1 teaspoon vanilla extract + 200 g/ 1 ⅔ cups flour + 2 teaspoon baking powder + a pinch of salt + 125 g/ ½ cup sour cream
- Assemble: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Top each cup with 4-5 nectarine cubes. Top with the streusel mixture.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the oven; they are ready when lightly golden. Cool for about 5 minutes, remove them from the tray, and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Optional: Sprinkle them with powdered sugar or ice them before serving. To make the icing, whisk 1 cup/ 120 g icing sugar with about 3 tablespoons milk and a few drops of vanilla extract.

Notes
- Always use a digital kitchen scale in baking (the Amazon link opens in a new tab); it guarantees the best results. Measuring flour and butter using cups is tricky.
- Nectarines: You’ll need 2 to 3, depending on their size. Start with two and only chop the third one if necessary. I placed 4-5 cubes onto each muffin.
- Peaches (fresh or canned) are a great substitute.
