Hi friends!

Just popping in to share my new favorite recipe with you. Peaches are hands down my favorite summer fruit and when they’re on sale for $0.99/pound I can never resist buying a ton of them. They’re just so darn good.

I’m always a fan of just slicing them up and eating them but this week I wanted to get a little more adventurous. I settled on a dessert recipe because….pregnant. Duh. And as I was brainstorming ideas, I started thinking about this Ginger Peach Granola I received in the mail from a friend several years ago. It was, hands down, the best granola I’ve ever had and I begged her to send me the recipe. Then I lost it. But I haven’t forgotten how much I loved the flavor combo of ginger and peach.

So this dessert recipe is a bit of a spin on that granola. A note about these bars. Thanks to all the peaches that are packed in there, they’re fairly moist and a little crumbly. I think they’re best eaten out of a bowl while still warm and topped with a scoop of ice cream. They will firm up some once they’re cooled completely, but just know that depending on how juicy your peaches are, these will probably more of an eat with a fork kinda bar than a grab and eat kind.

Also, if you decreased the brown sugar slightly, you could definitely eat these for breakfast topped with some yogurt!

So here’s how you make them:

Also, if you haven’t tried peanut butter and peaches together, you’re missing out! Another of my favorite flavor combos.

    I just pinned these for later as they look delicious and who doesn’t love peaches! I wish we could find better peaches in NYC but hopefully baking them will soften/sweeten them right up!

    These look so good! Love the peach and ginger combo. I recently tried to make some strawberry oat bars, and it was more like strawberry crumble. Still tasted good, though!

    Stupid question here, but when you say dried ginger, can you elaborate a bit? Is it like ground ginger powder? fresh ginger you dry, or like ginger cubes you can buy and then cut up to use? Thanks!!

    If the baby wants dessert, feed the baby dessert! And peaches and sunflower seed butter (peanut allergy 🙁 womp womp) is one of my fave combos too!!

    I’ve been lurking on your site for a few months now, but when this post came up and I had everything at home I just had to make it! It was a hit with everyone, including my 16 month old! I think I’ll serve it up today for snack with some vanilla Greek Yogurt. Yum!

    This recipe sounds delicious, except for the peanut butter (I’m not a fan, sorry!) if this recipe is made simply without the peanut butter, how will it come out, or can something else be substituted, especially if it’s lower fat?

      I’m really not sure. You’d have to do some experimenting. You could try something like applesauce
