Truly Decadent Baked Peach Halves
These peaches are decadent- however they don’t keep well, and they’re best eaten within 24 hours of baking, but I don’t think you’ll have a problem doing so. When peaches are fresh and in season, they just beg to be eaten like this. They’re not tidy to eat, but it’s worth it.
The first time I brought them somewhere, the adults dug into them before dinner because we just couldn’t help ourselves! That tells you how amazing they are.
Serve these on individual plates with a dollop of freshly whipped cream and dinner guests will be in awe. You can also use ice cream or yogurt. Maybe you’ll even sneak one over the kitchen sink when you catch a quiet moment.
These are a great gluten-free dessert or breakfast option. Just double check that your flour blend and oats are certified gluten-free if that’s a dietary need in your house.
