Peaches 'N Vanilla bean Cupcakes with Peach filling and a Vanilla Buttercream

So anytime I go to Huntsville I always plan to take a sweet with me! Lately I've been trying Gluten Free Vegan Sweets but my family hasn't quite jumped on board yet...So yes guys these are "real" cupcakes!

We had some ripe peaches ready for cooking from our CSA box this week, so that made picking the flavor super easy! I love mixing fruit in with cupcakes, it adds a nice flavor and a fresh taste in your mouth!  These cupcakes are gonna be a hit!
