How to Make Mini Peach Cobblers

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Greasing a 12-cup muffin tin ensures your cobblers won't stick—this is a crucial step for that perfect golden finish!
Pour the melted butter into each muffin cup. This will create a deliciously crispy base that contrasts beautifully with the soft cobbler.
Mix together your dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk until smooth. The batter should have a lovely, creamy consistency.
Fill the muffin cups. Pour the batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full to allow room for rising—perfect for fluffy little delights!
Add the peaches. Generously top each cup with chopped peaches, allowing the sweet fruity goodness to nestle right into the batter.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the filled muffin cups. This adds an irresistible sweet crunch to your cobblers.
Bake for 20–25 minutes. Look for a golden brown color and a toothpick that emerges clean—the aroma alone will make your mouth water!
Cool for a moment. Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving warm and enjoying that comforting warmth.

Optional: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat!
