i love plum

went back to butternut this past weekend for some good company and peaches. picking was light as it was the first day for these summer favorites and the peaches needed a little bit more time but we found more than enough. these were made this morning and boy are they tasty!!! these are light and fluffy (cake-like, not low in calories chicas!) and are finished with melted butter and sugar....soooo good :)

Peachy Muffins

4c flour

2 T baking powder

1t baking soda

1 t salt

4 large eggs

2 c buttermilk (you can use yogurt or sour cream here)

2/3 c light brown sugar

2/3 c sugar -plus more for tops of cooked muffins

8T melted butter -plus more for tops of cooked muffins

2t vanilla

4-5 peeled and chopped fresh peaches

preheat oven to 400. i melt the butter in a large bowl and whisk the eggs, buttermilk, sugars, and vanilla together. add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. fold in chopped peaches. bake approximately 18 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. have ready a small bowl with melted butter and a small bowl of sugar. while muffin is warm dip top into butter than sugar. voila!!!

note: you can use milk in this recipe instead of buttermilk only omit the baking soda. you don't need the last step of melted butter and sugar on the muffin tops but i highly recommend it :) okay, we all know i have a sweet tooth!
