Savoring Summer with Peach Berry Buttermilk Muffins

September 10, 2010 by Hillary 9 Comments

There were a couple recipe requests for the muffins I made for my family brunch over Labor Day Weekend…

The original recipe is from Muffins: Sweet & Savory Comfort Food, which I featured in my third ever blog post. Is it safe to say my photography has improved… at least a little bit?

These muffins were very moist, thanks to the buttermilk. The recipe did not call for peaches, but what can I say… summer = peach obsession!

Peach Berry Buttermilk Muffins

  • 1 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 c. unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 c. oats,  rolled or quick
  • 1 c. buttermilk
  • 1 T vanilla
  • 1 1/4 c. flour
  • 1 T baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 ripe peach, pealed and chopped
  • 1 c. blueberries – raspberries sound yummy too!
Not your traditional muffin method:

In a large bowl, cream brown sugar and butter. Add egg and beat well. Stir in oats, buttermilk and vanilla.

In another large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Add butter mixture, stirring just until moistened. Fold in peaches and blueberries.

Plop batter into lined muffin cups – sprinkle with raw sugar if desired – and bake @ 400* for 15-20 minutes.

Makes 12-18 muffins.

There you have it, another easy peasy recipe. They are not the most-healthful muffins ever made, but they certainly have their nutritional assets.

How would you “healthify” this recipe?

TGIF! Take it easy…

    ooo that looks amazing! I would probably healthify it by substituting half the butter with applesauce. I always do this when baking and it turns out just as good!

    Those look super yummy! I’m pretty much forced to “healthify” everytying since I can’t have dairy. I usually make buttermilk with almond milk and 1 tbsp. lemon juice stirred together (let it sit for 10 minutes). I usually use applesauce in place of butter. I also use agave/maple syrup as a sweetener – this would kind of give it that “brown sugar taste”.

    You could do the applesauce like the other girls are suggesting, and/or 1 egg = 2 T egg whites.

    Those muffins look super delicious! I would “healthify” them by using low-fat buttermilk and substituting applesauce for the butter. I’m not sure how well it would work with this recipe, but I’ve substituted applesauce for butter in the past and had great results :)

      Isn’t all buttermilk low-fat?

    Oh man, am I ever going to miss peaches and nectarines once the summer has past. I wonder if you could use something like quinoa flour in these? Sometimes the liquid ratio has to be a little different with it.

    I would healthify this the same way everyone suggested. Half the butter and use applesauce, maple syrup instead of sugar, use low-fat buttermilk, and use whole wheat pastry flour instead of white flour.

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
