Peach Muffin With Crumb Topping

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. ;-)
