Living on my own, I don't always get to my produce when it's in the best shape for eating raw, so when I was faced with a giant peach that smelled delicious, but was slightly soft, I thought I could either cut it up and mix it into my yogurt, or I could make myself a delicious Sunday morning treat. With no grains/gluten and no refined sugar in the house, this was pretty much a no-brainer. I dug through my pantry and fridge, and came up with a recipe that I think will become a staple in my kitchen (I plan on replacing the peach with apples in the fall - yum!)
Paleo Peach Cobbler for One
Ingredients:
Peach mixture:
- 1 ripe peach, peeled and cut into small chunks
- 1/2 a vanilla bean
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Crisp mixture:
- 3 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp shredded, unsweetened coconut
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- dash of sea salt
- slivered almonds (optional)
Method:Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place peaches in a bowl. Scrape vanilla beans on top of peaches, add cinnamon and combine.
Place the fruit mixture at the bottom of a small oven-proof dish (I used a 23cm dish) or individual ramekins & set aside.
Top the peaches with the crisp mixture. Add slivered almonds if desired.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is a light golden brown.
This makes an awesome breakfast when served warm... or throw some homemade vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt on the side for a quick and easy dessert.
