Baked Granola Peaches
Baked Granola Peaches
Top peach slices with a crunchy oat crumble, then bake them up into a delicious dessert. This is a great recipe for peaches that are not completely ripe or perfect because cooking concentrates the flavor and sweetness of the fruit. Kids Advisory Board member Liana Joy says, “The sweet crumble and fresh fruit make a great combo!”

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 4 ripe peaches, halved, pitted, and sliced, or 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen peach slices
Instructions
- Turn the oven on and set the heat to 350 degrees.
- To make the topping, put the oats, flour, nuts, cinnamon, and salt in the bowl and mix well.
- Drizzle the oil or butter and maple syrup or honey over the oat mixture and use the fork to mix until it is crumbly.
