Peach Crumble Muffins

Last week was Teacher Appreciation week at my boys school.  I volunteered to supply muffins for the teachers.  I thought I would like to try out a new recipe so I headed to pinterest.  I found a recipe for Peach Crumble muffins, I bought all the ingredients but then as I looked closer at the recipe I wasn't overly impressed and didn't want to make them.  Unfortunately I had already told the organizer what I was bringing so I was stuck.  So I headed back online and googled for a Peach Crumble muffin recipe and this one popped up.  This recipe is so delicious!  I made my muffins with canned peaches, but can't wait to try it with fresh peaches this summer.  If you enjoy muffins be sure to try out this recipe!
