Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make-Ahead: Prepare the muffin batter the night before and store it in the fridge. Just bake them fresh in the morning!
- Ingredient Swaps: For a healthier twist, substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour or use almond milk instead of regular milk.
- Storing Leftovers: Place any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. They can be refrigerated for a week, or frozen for up to three months.
- Peeling Peaches: Need help peeling those pesky peaches? Simply blanch them in hot water for 30 seconds, then plunge them into cold water; the skin should come off effortlessly!
