Peach and Raspberry Buttermilk Muffins

I don't know why buttermilk never comes in any size less than a 1/2 gallon. At least I've never seen it if it does... Who needs that much buttermilk?

Anyway, that's the reason I made these muffins, I needed to use up some buttermilk. Plus I'm still trying to bake some healthier treats for grab and go breakfast in the morning.



These muffins came out moist and tasty. I used frozen raspberries and peaches, but you can substitute any fruit you like really, frozen or fresh. You may just need to bake them a little longer if you use frozen like I did!
