In reply to Bruce. I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed these so much, Bruce! I was just planning to make some of these with fresh peaches from my yard, but a critter snagged them all overnight and I have no more fresh peaches! :(

As you know, Sam, I have baked, eaten, and reviewed A LOT of your recipes, and these muffins have to be one of the best. The browned butter flavor is stronger than in other things, and it works well here (Well, browned butter always works well, but especially well here). Some people might find these to be to sweet, but for me they are just right. They are so packed with peaches that no other peach muffins should be allowed to use that name. If you don’t want to glaze them, that’s fine, because they don’t need any more sweetness, and any addition will mask the amazing peach flavor. I’m sure the optional streusel topping would provide a nice contrast in textures, but I’m glad I kept them simple.

These were a huge hit at the office! I wanted to add some fall flavors, so I added some nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon. Everyone loved them!

Just made a double batch of these muffins. I have made these muffins multiple times. Always come out great. The brown butter flavor really comes through. This time I added 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice! So delicious! Thanks for another great recipe!

In reply to Lyn. Yellow peaches should give you the flavor you are looking for, though flavor really can vary from peach to peach. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed them regardless!

First time I made these muffins I used fresh white peaches. The 2nd time I used jar/canned peaches. The fresh peaches were definitely better but with both bakes I did not get much peach flavor as I had hoped. Despite that the muffins were still amazing. Very tender. I think the brown butter really elevates this recipe. Anyway next time I will try fresh yellow peaches. Maybe then the peach flavor will be more prominent. Thank you for a great recipe! Lyn

This is without a doubt the best peach muffin I have ever eaten! I think the recipe is easy to make and worth the effort to make the brown butter. This is a definite winner!

It’s very rare for me to give one of Sam’s recipes a 4, but there is a problem with these muffins. They taste too much like cake, and unlike her other muffins. So, they would be delicious cupcakes, but less than perfect muffins. The texture is amazing – light and moist. The recipe doesn’t say how far to fill the papers. It should be about 3/4 full. If you don’t mind getting only 11 muffins, you can fill them almost to the top, because they don’t rise too much. I did that, and they had a little crown to them, but not too much.

Can I use canned peaches?

I used the last of our Costco peaches and tried out a new recipe. It was just a tiny bit labor intensive but oh OH MY they smell so incredibly good. I can hardly wait to try it. Topped half of them with salted caramel sugar and the other half with bourbon black walnut sugar.
