Equipment

  • hand mixer
  • cupcake tins
  • foil cupcake liners
  • cookie scooper
  • smidgen measuring spoons

Ingredients  

Peaches

  • 2 large peaches
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 dash cinnamon
  • 1 smidgen ginger

Cake Batter

  • 1 box Pillsbury sugar free yellow cake mix or your favorite cake mix
  • 5 egg whites or 3 whole eggs
  • c plain non fat yogurt
  • 1 c water, I used slightly less (see instructions)
  • tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line the cupcake tins with the foil cupcake liners. You will most likely need 22 spots in the cupcake tins.

Peaches

  • Cut the fresh peaches in half, and using a twisting motion pull the two halves apart. Remove the pit, peel the skin and dice the peaches.
  • Place the diced peaches into a small bowl and add the flour, ginger and cinnamon. Toss together and then set aside.

Cake Batter

  • Place the cake mix into a large mixing bowl along with the ginger and cinnamon. Stir together until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the cake mix.
  • Add the egg whites, yogurt and 3/4 c of the water to the mix. Using a hand mixer combine all the ingredients together. If the batter is too thick, go ahead and add the rest of the water and mix it in.
  • Add the set aside peaches to the cake batter and fold them in until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Using a large cookie scooper, place one full scoop of batter into each foil lined cupcake slot. Fill each cupcake ⅔ to ¾ full.
  • Place the cupcake tins in the oven and bake 23 - 25 min. The cupcakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or the top springs back when lightly pressed.
  • Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let sit for 10 min and then transfer them from the tins to a cooling rack.
  • Once cool, you can garnish the cupcakes, if you wish, and serve.
  • Place the leftover cupcakes on a tray that will fit in your freezer. If you need to make a second layer of cupcakes, separate the layers with a piece of waxpaper. Cover the cupcakes with plastic wrap and stick in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer the cupcakes to a plastic freezer bag and store in the freezer until needed.

Notes

If you use a regular cake mix, adjust the points.
 
If peaches are out of season, use 3 snack packs of peaches packed in juice, no sugar added. Drain the peaches and then rinse them with water and blot excess water.
Frozen peaches should work. Thaw them first and drain away or blot excess liquid.
