Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour – 2 cups
  • Baking powder – 1 tsp
  • Salt – 1/2 tsp
  • Unsalted butter softened – 1/2 cup
  • Granulated sugar – 3/4 cup
  • Eggs – 2 large
  • Honey – 1/3 cup
  • Whole milk – 1/2 cup
  • Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
  • Fresh peaches peeled and diced – 1 1/4 cups
  • Cream cheese softened – 8 oz
  • Granulated sugar (for filling) – 1/4 cup
  • Egg yolk – 1
  • Vanilla extract (for filling) – 1/2 tsp
  • Optional Topping: Peach slices
  • Honey drizzle
  • Crushed graham crackers or streusel topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with paper cupcake liners.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add wet ingredients: Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in honey and vanilla.
  6. Combine with dry ingredients: Add flour mixture and milk alternately, starting and ending with flour.
  7. Fold in peaches: Gently stir diced peaches into the batter.
  8. Assemble: Fill cupcake liners halfway. Add a teaspoon of cream cheese filling to the center of each, then top with a little more batter to cover.
  9. Bake: 18–22 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted at the edge comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
  10. Decorate (optional): Top with peach slices, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle crushed graham crackers.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
  • Chilling the cream cheese filling can enhance its firmness.
  • Use ripe peaches for the best flavor.
