Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well incorporated.
  3. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk until fully combined, then fold in diced peaches.
  5. Fill cupcake liners about two-thirds full with batter and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare the frosting by mixing softened cream cheese, honey, and vanilla until fluffy and creamy.
  8. Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting and garnish as desired.
