Gluten-Free Peach Streusel Muffins {Dairy-Free}

Tender, and moist, these Gluten-Free Peach Streusel Muffins are filled with peaches and topped with a sweet oat streusel.
It’s been peach, peach, peaches over at my house for the past week or so. We live by a local fruit stand that sells the best peaches. I feel so in love with them that I decided it would be a good idea to buy a 5lb box.

This was probably ambitious since I’ve never canned anything on my own before. If I muster the courage, I might try to can some peaches.

But in the mean time I am planning on making freezer peach compote and of course there’s peach crisp, peaches and ice cream, and these irresistible peach muffins.These muffins are made with my grain-free flour blend. The cake is light and each muffin is full of juicy peach chunks. Topped with a sweet oat streusel, these are my idea of muffin heaven!

I often add a little lemon juice to my gluten-free baked goods to keep the crumb light and tender. I also wanted to make these muffins completely dairy-free. So many muffin recipes include sour cream or yogurt for moisture and flavor.

I find that a combination of unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, and coconut oil creates a moist, gluten-free and dairy-free muffin. The almond flour in my grain-free blend also adds a nice flavor and texture.

I’m such a peach-freak that if pumpkin season wasn’t the season that follows peach season I might have to cry a little. Make these muffins before summer ends! Looking for more peach recipes? Try this Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler.

You can skip the streusel topping on these muffins and they are still delicious. Without the topping these could be considered peach cupcakes. They would be delicious topped with cream cheese or buttercream frosting! These muffins are best eaten the day they are made. They also freeze well - to defrost wrap a muffins in a paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
