How To Make The Yummiest Peach Cupcakes For Your Next Summer Party
Peach + cupcakes = perfection. Honestly. Peach cupcakes are the best.
A fresh, juicy peach always makes me think of summer. In Chile, where I grew up, nectarines are a staple in the warmer months.
Peaches are rich in vitamin C and fiber, so they are a healthy fruit.
Cupcakes might not be as healthy but they are so perfect for any summer party. When you add peaches to a traditional cupcake recipe, you won’t believe how delicious your treats will come out. Plus, they look adorable.
