Fresh peaches are in season! Roasting fruit brings out their natural juices and sweetness. Enjoy them on your toast layered with your favorite nut butter and cinnamon for an easy-to-assemble breakfast.

What’s In It

  • 1 medium peach, pit removed and sliced in half (If fresh peaches are out of season, you can use defrosted frozen peaches instead.)
  • 1 slice sprouted whole grain bread, such as Food for Life® Flax
  • 1 tablespoon organic creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened, no hydrogenated oils)
  • Organic date sugar* (optional)
  • 8-9 raw almonds, chopped
  • Pinch ground cinnamon

*Date sugar is just dehydrated dates ground into a sugar-like consistency. It’s naturally sweet with a caramel-like flavor. Looks like brown sugar.

How It’s Made

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Place peach cut side up on a baking sheet. (I line the pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.) Bake peach for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Slice peaches.
  4. Lightly toast bread and spread with peanut butter. Sprinkle lightly with date sugar (optional), then press chopped almonds into the peanut butter.
  5. Layer sliced peaches on top and dust with cinnamon.

Karen’s Fit Tip: Organic Peanut Butter Light Roasted CreamyI prefer Santa Cruz Organic® Peanut Butter due to their healthier nutritional profile. Avoid peanut butter “spreads” and “no stir” varieties. They contain added sweeteners and oil (usually palm oil).
