Who can resist fresh peaches in the summertime? This peach cobbler recipe is a cleaner take on the usually high-calorie dessert with tons of added sugar.
Further Food Nutritionist Commentary:
It's time to celebrate the arrival of drippy, sweet summer peaches! Typical cobblers and crumbles are often very calorie-rich. Rachel's version -- scaled down for a speedy two-serving dessert -- uses only a bit of butter for richness and a touch of sugar to amplify the peaches. Using oats instead of regular flour or a combination of flour and oats adds a whole grain boost of fiber, essential minerals and some of the B vitamins.
Note: To decrease some of the calories and fat, you can cut the amount of butter by up to one half, or replace it with more heart-healthy olive oil. The sugar can also be decreased to your tastes, or replaced with a less refined option, such as 100% maple syrup or honey. If needed, ensure your oats are certified 100% gluten-free.
