Blueberry Peach Muffins
Hubby and I were getting ready to leave for vacation and I wanted to do some baking (shocking, I know!) I decided to make some muffins since they travel well. I had seen this recipe on Katie’s blog and it instantly made me think of the spiced peach jam I made for Steph Chow’s Jam Exchange. When it came time to bake these muffins, I decided to use up an extra pint of blueberries we had in the fridge instead of adding a cut up peach.
These muffins were delicious! Hubby said they’re the best muffins I’ve ever made, and I make muffins on a regular basis. They were extremely moist and the peach and blueberry flavors go well together.
Blueberry Peach Muffins
Yield: 12 muffins
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup flour, sifted
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 cup spiced peach preserves - I used my peach jam
1/3 cup milk
2 Tbsp plain yogurt
1 egg
1 pint blueberries
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a muffin tin with paper cups.
In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and whisk to combine.
In medium bowl, combine preserves, milk, yogurt, egg, and whisk to combine well.
Mix wet ingredients into dry until just combined.
Fold in blueberries and spoon equally into 12 muffin cups.
Place muffins into oven and bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before serving.

Three ingredients? Amazing, I can’t wait to try this for myself!

If you make it, let me know what beer/fruit combo you use. I can’t wait to try different combinations.
I just made it last night and used frozen strawberries and Shock Top Honeycrisp Apple Wheat. Amazing!!! So creamy without any dairy. I’ll be posting the recipe on my site next week.

First of all, I haven’t had that beer, but it sounds tasty on it’s own. I’m sure it was delicious with the strawberries in this sorbet. So glad you enjoyed it. Let me know when your post goes up!
what an interesting idea! love that you can still taste the individual flavors 🙂

I loved it too. Even though when you say Strawberry and Beer Sorbet people kind of look at you like you’re crazy….
This sounds awesome and I know my husband would love it but we don’t have an ice cream maker. Is there an alternative way to make it?

I haven’t made it without an ice cream maker… Here’s an article from David Lebovitz on how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2007/07/making-ice-crea-1/
Hi there. The current Food on Friday on Carole’s Chatter is collecting links to posts about ice cream and sorbets – or anything similar like gelato. I do hope you link this in. This is the link . Please do check out some of the other links – there are a lot of good ones already. Have a great week.
Jen , thanks for joining the link up for Food on Friday on Carole’s Chatter. I hope you enjoyed looking at some of the other links. I have been reading them all and must say my ice cream cravings are now almost out of control! Cheers
Ps I am signing up to follow your blog. A follow back would be great – or maybe you have already?
I work in a brewpub in Boulder. I’m gonna try this out with fresh peaches, honey, and a strong belgian golden ale. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Oh man – that sounds awesome. I have a TON of peaches in my house right now… I just made a blueberry variety the other night.
