Nectarine Muffins

Ingredients

• 3 c all-purpose flour

• 1 T baking powder

• ½ t salt

• ½ t cinnamon

• ¾ c brown sugar

• ½ c unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

• 1 c milk

• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

• 1 heaping c peeled, diced nectarine

• 1-2 T brown sugar for topping

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. Grease or line 18 muffin wells.

3. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into a large bowl.

4. Stir in the brown sugar. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

5. In a separate bowl, mix together the butter and milk, and then stir in the lightly beaten eggs.

6. Pour all at once into the center of the dry ingredients, and then fold until just combined. The batter will be lumpy, don’t over mix.

7. Fold in the diced nectarines.

8. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins and sprinkle a little brown sugar on to the top of each muffin.

9. Bake for about 15-17 mins, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

10. Cool on a wire rack.
