Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
  5. Carefully fold in the diced peaches and softened cream cheese, ensuring not to over-mix.
  6. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well, then fill each cup about 2/3 full with the batter.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

Choose ripe peaches for the best sweetness. Use room temperature ingredients for optimal texture. Avoid over-mixing the batter.
