Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced fresh peaches.
- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
- For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator.
- To reheat, microwave for a few seconds.
- For freezing, wrap each muffin tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag.
