Equipment
- 1 Baking dish 9x9 inch works well
- 1 Parchment paper For lining the dish
- 1 Mixing bowl For the honey-cinnamon mix
- 1 Mixing bowl For the oat crumble
- 1 Basting brush Optional, for brushing peaches
- 1 Measuring Spoons
- 1 Measuring Cups
Ingredients
- 4 peaches ripe, halved and pitted
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 2 tbsp walnuts or pecans chopped
- 1 tbsp coconut oil melted, or unsalted butter
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 tbsp Greek yogurt optional, plain, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- Arrange the peach halves cut-side up in the baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, then brush or drizzle evenly over each peach half.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats, chopped nuts, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of sea salt, and mix until it forms a loose crumble.
- Spoon the oat crumble mixture into the center of each peach half, pressing gently so it holds together while baking.
