Ingredients

Scale

Cupcake Batter

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup diced fresh peaches (or canned, drained)

Peach Filling

  • 2 cups diced peaches
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon

Streusel Topping

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peach Filling: In a saucepan, combine diced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat and let cool completely to set.
  2. Make Cupcake Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and buttermilk to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in diced peaches.
  3. Assemble Cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Spoon cupcake batter to fill each liner halfway. Add a spoonful of the cooled peach filling on top, then cover with more cupcake batter to fill each liner about three-quarters full.
  4. Prepare Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and cinnamon until crumbly. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over each cupcake.
  5. Bake: Place cupcakes in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or canned peaches for this recipe; just ensure canned peaches are well drained.
  • Allow the peach filling to cool completely before assembling to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep cupcakes light and fluffy.
  • These cupcakes are best enjoyed within two days but can be refrigerated and warmed slightly before serving.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute buttermilk with almond milk mixed with a teaspoon of lemon juice and use dairy-free butter.
