Brown Butter Peach Crumb Muffins

The perfect summer brunch food.  These brown butter muffins are full of juicy peaches and topped with a cinnamon crumble.

Summers for us are always full of travelling to see family.  I try to bring a different sweet treat every time, though my family has had its fair share of bakery “scraps”!  These muffins were the perfect addition to a recent summer brunch.  Even though they are flavored with brown butter and finished with a crumb topping, they really aren’t that heavy.  They are heavy on the peaches so you should get a juicy piece of fruit in every bite.
