Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (Substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (Softened.)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs (Best at room temperature.)
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1/2 cup Whole milk (Can substitute with any dairy-free milk.)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Fresh peaches (Diced, use ripe peaches for best results.)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (Softened.)
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Peach slices (For garnish.)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar using an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in honey, whole milk, and vanilla extract; continue mixing until smooth. Gradually add dry ingredients to this mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in diced peaches into the batter using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
- Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners. Fill each liner halfway with cupcake batter. Add a spoonful of cream cheese filling on top of each batter-filled liner. Top with more batter until nearly full.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow cupcakes to cool before garnishing with peach slices, honey drizzle, and crushed graham crackers.
