Preheat the oven:

Combine ingredients:
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped peaches.
Scoop the batter:

- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
- Sprinkle a small amount of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of each muffin.
Bake the muffins:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Cool and serve:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
