Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (clarified if dairy-sensitive)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ tsp vanilla extract (or almond)
  • ½ cup buttermilk (or yogurt/citrus-milk mix)
  • 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ cups diced ripe peaches
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup coarse sugar (or turbinado for GF)

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high. Stir until golden-brown specks form.
  2. In a bowl, whisk cooled browned butter with 1 cup sugar, egg, and vanilla.
  3. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 2 cups sugar in a separate bowl. Gradually mix into wet ingredients. Add buttermilk and peaches.
  4. Distribute batter into 12 lined muffin cups. Top with coarse sugar.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-22 minutes until golden and slightly jiggly. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Substitute butter with coconut oil for dairy-free.
Use frozen cherries/peaches if fresh unavailable.
Muffins stay fresh in airtight containers for 2 days.
Grease pans liberally to prevent sticking.
