Brown Butter Peach Cupcakes



The sweet taste of ripe peaches goes well with the rich, nutty flavor of browned butter in these Brown Butter Peach Cupcakes. These cupcakes are moist and tender, and you can add pecans if you want. Perfect for any event!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans optional
  • Whipped cream or frosting for topping optional

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat

Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns a deep golden brown color and has a nutty aroma

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and browned butter

Mix until well combined

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients

Mix until just combined

Stir in the vanilla extract, diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger

Fold in the chopped pecans if using

Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

Once cooled, you can top the cupcakes with whipped cream or your favorite frosting if desired

Enjoy your delicious Brown Butter Peach Cupcakes!
