  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Extra sliced peaches and honey for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Mix in Greek yogurt and honey until well incorporated. Fold in diced peaches gently.
  3. Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely on wire racks.
  4. Prepare the cream cheese frosting: beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Spread or pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
  5. Garnish each cupcake with sliced peaches and a drizzle of honey for an extra sweet and visual appeal. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for maximum flavor and juiciness.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened for smooth frosting.
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts can be added to the frosting for extra texture.
  • Adjust honey amount based on peaches’ ripeness and personal sweetness preference.
