Peach muffin

I got pretty crafty the other day.

I mixed a few tasks into one. Every busy mom appreciates multi-tasking.

I needed to make something else for our breakfast for dinner night. I had the hashbrown casserole and the pancakes, however I knew I needed to make something else. I also knew I wanted to make some muffins to put into the freezer for future snacks and breakfasts. That is how I combined two activities into one. Probably wouldn’t be considered for an award for ingenious thinking, but it made me happy. And it made my life simpler. 🙂

I was going to make my Blueberry Muffin recipe, as that is my stand by. Everyone likes it, plus it is easy. Sometimes I get tired of making the same thing and I do enjoy trying new recipes. I thought I would enjoy swapping out the blueberries for something else. As I was thinking about it, I was staring at nothing particular. Then I saw it. What did my eyes catch? The peach butter still on the counter. Hmmm….

I replaced the blueberries for a cup of peach butter. If you don’t have peach butter, just use a cup of chopped peaches in its place. I also added a cinnamon crumb topping. Being that I usually just dump ingredients in a bowl, I took careful note of how much of the crumb topping ingredients I added so I could tell you. I did that just for you. 😉
