Ingredients

  • For the cupcake batter:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup diced fresh or canned peaches (drained)
  • For the cream cheese filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs, honey, and vanilla.
  5. Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in diced peaches.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner with a spoonful of batter, add a dollop of cream cheese filling in the center, and cover with more batter.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Top with crushed graham crackers or cinnamon sugar before baking for added texture.
  • Swap peaches for nectarines or apricots.
  • Drizzle with warmed honey before serving for extra sweetness.
  • Use canned or frozen peaches when fresh are unavailable—drain or thaw well.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
