Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat softened butter and sugar until fluffy, add eggs one at a time, then stir in honey and vanilla.
  4. Gradually alternate incorporating the flour mixture and whole milk until just combined; fold in diced peaches.
