Peach and pecan 'Morning Hot Muffins'

“At the ranch, our guests have a ‘morning hot muffin’ delivered to their doorstep as the sun rises, to enjoy with coffee. It’s a warm little gesture that makes the ranch feel like home, so you can sit in bed with your muffin and your coffee and enjoy the view. Serve this butter with anything. In fact, make triple the amount and keep some in your fridge for every occasion.” – Pip Sumbak

Healthy raspberry muffins

“When it comes to fruits, there is nothing more satisfying for me than berries and apples. I love the tartness and vibrance that raspberries provide, not to mention the potassium and omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin and bones. Apples are a great source of fibre and vitamins C and E. This recipe is a powerhouse of antioxidants, fibre and good fats. These are my favourite muffins to snack on before I go to the gym." – Sergio Perera
