About the Ingredients for Brown Butter & Quinoa Peach Muffins
Milk – We use whole cows milk for baking but you can substitute with the milk of your choice.
Eggs – Always bake with room temperature eggs.
Vanilla extract – Pure vanilla extract is best but feel free to use artificial vanilla if that is what you have on hand.
Flour – Always spoon and level your flour to avoid dense muffins.
Sugar – Plain old granulated sugar is all you need, you can swap with the sweetener of your choice or use brown sugar instead.
Baking powder – Make sure your baking powder is still active so the muffins rise!
Salt – Brings out all the other flavours!
Quinoa – Quinoa is a great source of protein, antioxidants, fiber, iron and many other nutrients.
Peaches – Use fresh local peaches for the best flavour, you can also use frozen peaches. Do not thaw.
