Scale

- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
- 2 large eggs

- 4 oz (115 g) softened cream cheese

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

- Gently fold in diced peaches using a spatula.

Notes
[‘Use room-temperature eggs and cream cheese for smooth mixing.’, ‘Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins fluffy.’, ‘Cut peaches into small, even pieces for even distribution.’, ‘Check muffins for doneness with a toothpick.’, ‘For extra swirl effect, drag a toothpick through the cream cheese mixture after adding it to the batter.’]
