The best Peach Cupcakes – cupcakes are packed with peach flavor from peach jam and fresh peaches. Then they are topped with a delicious peach buttercream.
Cupcakes make the perfect single serve dessert! We love these Peach Cupcakes, but if you want even more cupcake recipes, try these Carrot Cake Cupcakes, Red Velvet Cupcakes, or Key Lime Cupcakes!
I love cupcakes. They make me happy. Especially when a recipe comes together so perfectly the first time around.
We know that I am obsessed with peach season here in Utah. I can’t believe this is only the second peach recipe I’ve posted this year. But this one is so good. I knew that I wanted some good peach flavor in the cupcakes, but I also knew that a lot of time, when you bake with fruit like this, the flavor is lost. So I decided to use both peach jam and fresh peaches. You’ll want a really good quality peach jam for these, preferably with some good chunks. I canned a ton of jam a couple of years ago, and this helped me to get through a bit more of it!!
And don’t forget the icing! Once again, I used jam to make sure the peach flavor was prominent. And a fresh peach slice is the perfect topping to bring it all together.
If you are a peach lover, these cupcakes are for you!!

So many wonderful words from so many caring readers….you are loved and admired. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes just that bit of “putting it out there” helps spread the burden, making it lighter on your shoulders! Please take care of yourself and let your parents (Mom’s love caring for their children no matter what their age) treat you to some R & R.
Love, Love, Love peaches too! These cupcakes look scrumptious 🙂

I am sorry to hear about your struggles and hope they end soon! I have never commented on your blog before, but I have read it for a long time. One day I was blog browsing and I saw your post about the citrus poke cupcakes. It was so funny because I realized I was in your ward! I had eaten those very cupcakes!! In fact they were so good, when the RS activity was over I sneaked another one to take to my husband and told him that they were the most delicious cupcakes. I was super excited to find out you were in my ward and hoped to meet you in person sometime, but I guess I missed my chance. Good luck with everything! I know it will all work out. You are awesome!

Lovely recipe, Deborah! I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through. I know it must be difficult to juggle it all in the midst of being pregnant. I am a firm believer that there is always light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully things will work out for the better in the end. Hang in there!

Oh Deb, I know how hard things have been for you guys. You are one of the most resilient women I know. In the end things will work out because you work hard, you’re an incredible wife, mother and friend and because you deserve it. I’m glad that you’re parents can help out a bit during this tough time. If there is anything you ever need, please don’t hesitate to call. Sending big hugs and love your way!! xo

Sometimes a break from the blog or even life in general helps my creative juices flow. This hard time you are going through Deborah is only temporary. This too, shall pass. Keep your chin up. Good things happen to good people and I’m routing for you your husband. I always read your posts. 🙂
PS: I love love love love peach ANYTHING. 😉

Hugs to you during your difficult times. I pray that things will turn around, and good things come your way!
The cupcakes look amazing, by the way!
Nancy Vecchione says
First, sending good karma your way and your family’s way. We’ve both been long term unemployed here so know the stressors you are under. Fortunately at 57 I AM NOT pregnant! But want you to know, I don’t just skip over your writing to your recipes. So take heart! I suspect many of your readers are just like me. We read you because you are you. You are one of the important ingredients in why we read your blog. Sure, recipes are good, but I can get those from the library. Humanity is another thing entirely. Not sure I’m putting this well but … good karma, luv’in yr blog AND the recipes.
Karen Petersen says
Ugh!
Not fun!
I hope something good comes your way soon.
Laura (Tutti Dolci) says

I’m not a fan of peaches, but even I have to admit these cupcakes look yummy!
I’m praying that things get easier for you, Deborah, and that the last few weeks of pregnancy are relaxing for you. Fingers crossed something comes up job-wise for your husband! Xxx
