pin to present: peachy

Back to the "food to eat" board for this week's installment, with something to fill the pie-shaped void in my life now that strawberry season is over: mini peach cobblers from Joy the Baker. I have already made these twice, and you can bet I'm going to keep on doing it until I can't get my hands on any more peaches.

How perfect is that - the peach halves act as their own serving container! It's like a personal pie without the crust (which makes it totally healthy, right?), ready in 25 minutes and without all the work of slicing peaches. And they really are super easy: just mix up some crumble, stuff the halves, bake, and serve warm with some whipped cream of course.

I thought the amount of topping the recipe produces would actually be perfect for filling four halves, so next time we're each getting our own peach. (Also, I skipped the recipe's coconut and almonds since I don't care for them; the first time I didn't use oats either because I was out. It still tasted amazing and worked well.) And when we had a dinner guest, this was a perfect dessert because I could assemble ahead of time and just pop them in the oven before we started eating dinner, and they were ready immediately after.

  5. Ooh these look yummy! I always consider myself "healthy" when I have fruit for desert (even if is paired with sugar or chocolate)!
