Scale
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick or 85 g) unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup (80 mL) whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (6.6 oz/185 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (4 oz/112 g) sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup frozen peach slices, chopped
- 1/4 cup candied ginger, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
- 1/4 cup sugar (for crumb topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (for crumb topping)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for crumb topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line or butter 12 muffin tins.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter melts, continue to cook, watching carefully, until it turns a rich amber color and emits a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the browned butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped peach slices and candied ginger.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tins.
- For the crumb topping, mix together the flour, sugar, and ground ginger in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the muffin batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use frozen peach slices for convenience and to enjoy summer flavors year-round. Brown the butter to enhance the nutty aroma and richness of the muffins. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These muffins can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
