Ingredients
Scale
- 3 fresh, very ripe peaches (about 450g) halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) fruit juice (such as apple or orange)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) coconut sugar or light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) salt
- Vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, or whipped cream, for serving
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch or similarly sized baking dish that can accommodate the peach halves in a single layer without too much extra space around them. Position the peaches with the cut side facing up in the baking dish.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oil, maple syrup or honey, fruit juice, coconut sugar or light brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Drizzle this mixture over the peaches, ensuring it fills the centers and spills over the edges.
- Place the peaches in the oven without covering them and bake until they are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork, approximately 30 minutes. Enjoy them warm, topped with vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, or a dollop of whipped cream, according to your preference.
Notes
- For a more decadent taste, swap coconut sugar or light brown sugar with dark brown sugar.
- Add chopped nuts or granola on top of the peaches for a delightful crunch.
- Try using pineapple or mango juice for a unique flavor twist, or grill the peaches for a smoky taste.
