Browned Butter and Quinoa Peach Muffins

August 19, 2015 by Elizabeth 30 Comments

Browned Butter and Quinoa Peach Muffins are a delicious breakfast option packed with protein!    

Breakfast has always been a hurried part of my day.  Even in the summer months I just get through it so I can start my day.  Things don’t always go so smoothly with two little girls who enjoy playing with their food as much as they enjoy eating it.  Breakfast can certainly get hectic in our household and I don’t imagine things will be any easier once they start school.

One breakfast staple I love to serve are muffins packed with sneaky superfoods.  The girls tend to wolf them down and we can all get on with our day.

I love to eat my muffins with a little bit of honeyed butter spread on them.  The problem with this is that it needs to be refrigerated which makes it less than easy to spread, even on muffins that are fresh out of the oven!

I have a solution for that by making the honeyed butter with Gay Lea’s delicious Spreadable Butter products.

 Browned Butter and Quinoa Peach Muffins are a delicious breakfast option packed with protein!

I wanted to share a great recipe using Gay Lea’s Spreadables Butter that will make School Mornings a whole lot easier (and delicious!) These Browned Butter and Quinoa Peach Muffins are great to pack away in a school lunch as they are packed with protein to help fuel their day. 

 You will love the deep flavour the brown butter creates in these muffins, it’s honestly so rich tasting! 

Gay Lea’s Spreadables Butter takes traditional creamery butter and adds unsaturated canola oil to make it spreadable. Enjoy the delicious taste of
butter right out of the fridge without preservatives.  It’s also a source of 3.

For this recipe you might even consider using the Light variety rather than Regular or even  the Cinnamon Brown Sugar flavour for a nice change of pace!

Browned Butter and Quinoa Peach Muffins 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Gay Lea’s Spreadables Butter
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

2 cups fresh peaches, chopped

Honeyed Butter:

1 Container Gay Lea’s Spreadables Butter
1 tbsp Honey
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

 Browned Butter and Quinoa Peach Muffins are a delicious breakfast option packed with protein!

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.  Allow the butter to fully melt and cook down until it starts to brown and froth.  It will brown fairly quickly so keep an eye on it.  When little brown bits appear in the pan remove from heat and set aside.

Whisk together the milk, egg and vanilla then stir in the brown butter until combined.

In a separate bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Add brown butter mixture to the dry ingredients and combine well.

Gently fold in the peaches and quinoa.

Fill mufin tray so cups are 3/4 full.  Bake for 20-22 minutes.

Cool in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

In a medium bowl whisk together butter, honey and vanilla until well combined.

Scrape back into the Gay Lea’s Spreadables Butter container and refrigerate.

Serve muffins with honeyed butter.

    I’ve tried quinoa a couple times in salads but never in a muffin before! Good way to incorporate this healthy ingredient into something sweeter!
