Quite a while ago, I measured out dry ingredients to make something when my stepmother asked me to bake an appreciation gift for staff at the school where she was a longtime volunteer; long story short, a bunch of stuff happened and this was no longer needed, but I had this bowl of flour, baking powder and soda, and salt. So I made it into a big batch of muffins with blackberries and end-of-season peaches. They’re nice and tender thanks to a combo of brown butter and grapeseed oil plus sour cream, simply flavored with vanilla. I topped them with a cardamom-brown sugar streusel, a riff on a NYT recipe (lots of details on the BCOTM thread, along with a gift link).
