Happy weekend!
I’m psyched for the weekend because two of my girlfriends from Jersey, Meaghan and Marla, are flying in to visit me tomorrow. These ladies were roommates of mine in college, both of whom I’ve talked about on my blog before. I’m so excited to show them around my new area and have some fun girl time!
Now onto the title of this post…
Locally grown peaches have been everywhere lately, and I’m loving it! Ever since making wine-baked peaches, I’ve been thinking about other ways to bake peaches for breakfast or lunch instead of dessert (read: no fro yo involved). Yesterday, I came up with one pretty damn delicious peach recipe for lunch:
First I sliced a ripe peach, placed it in a small baking dish, and poured an almond milk/vanilla extract mixture over top:
Next I mixed old fashioned oats, cinnamon, chopped pecans, a sprinkle of salt, and light brown sugar together, and sprinkled it on top of the peaches, then drizzled 1 TSP of honey on top.
I baked the peaches for half an hour, then spooned them onto a plate.
I think of this creation as a healthy peach cobbler, and for the “ice cream” portion of the meal, I mixed honey and cinnamon into a plain Chobani Greek yogurt.
I spooned some yogurt on top, and placed the rest on the side. I also threw in a spoonful of fig butter for good measure.
If you have a major pie craving that you want to healthily satisfy, this is the recipe for you! I definitely want to try this with an apple sometime soon.
