Cuisine: Southern
Serves: 12 cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced peaches (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Fold in the diced peaches, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before serving.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or top with a dollop of whipped cream before serving to enhance the Southern cobbler-style presentation.
Tips
- • Use fresh, ripe peaches when possible for the most vibrant flavor. If using canned peaches, drain them thoroughly to prevent excess moisture. • Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. • For extra Southern flair, try adding a sprinkle of brown sugar on top before baking for a caramelized finish. • Allow cupcakes to cool completely before adding powdered sugar or whipped cream to prevent melting. • Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days. • For a more decadent version, consider adding a cream cheese frosting that complements the peach flavor.
