Ingredients

For the cupcakes

  • 6 egg whites
  • ½ c unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ⅔ c sugar
  • 2 ½ t baking powder
  • ½ t salt
  • 1 t vanilla
  • 1 ¼ c milk
  • ¼ c oil
  • 2 ½ c flour
  • 2 c chopped peaches

For the Frosting

  • 1 c unsalted butter softened
  • 1 t salt
  • ½ c chopped peaches
  • 4 c powdered sugar

For the Streusel Topping

  • 6 T. unsalted butter softened
  • c flour
  • c brown sugar
  • 1 T. cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line your cupcake pan and set aside.

For the cupcakes

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter and sugar. Cream together.
  • Add in the oil, egg whites, baking powder, salt and vanilla. Mix thoroughly - stopping the mixer and scraping down the sides when needed.
  • Add in the flour and combine.
  • Fold in the chopped peaches.
  • Fill each cupcake cavity until about ⅔ full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes or until slightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before decorating.

For the frosting

  • Cream together the softened butter and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Mix in the powdered sugar. The consistency will be very thick and lumpy and this is okay.
  • Add in the chopped peaches and whip on medium speed until smooth and creamy. The moisture from the peaches will thin out the lumpy frosting and make it smooth.
  • Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a large star or round tip, set aside.

To make the Streusel

  • Combine the softened butter, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  • Using a dough cutter or two forks, press the butter through the mixture until crumbly in consistency.

To Assemble

  • Once cupcakes are completely cool, they are ready to decorate. Pipe a mound of frosting on each cupcake. Sprinkle liberally with the streusel topping.
  • Enjoy!
