Ingredients
Scale
Peach Mixture
- Olive oil or coconut oil spray, for cooking
- 1 ripe peach, pitted, peeled, and diced
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar or monk fruit sweetener
- Pinch ground cinnamon
Yogurt Bowl
- 1 cup high-protein vanilla yogurt (such as Oikos Pro)
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free granola
Instructions
- Prepare skillet and heat peaches: Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat and lightly spray it with olive oil or coconut oil to prevent sticking and promote gentle cooking.
- Cook peach mixture: Add the diced peaches, brown sugar (or monk fruit sweetener), and a pinch of ground cinnamon to the skillet. Stir gently to combine. Cover the skillet and cook until the peaches soften, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Let peaches release juices and cool: Remove the skillet from heat and keep it covered, allowing the peaches to sit for 2 to 3 minutes so they release their natural juices. Then uncover and let the mixture cool for another 2 to 3 minutes to achieve a warm, not hot, consistency.
- Assemble the yogurt bowl: Spoon the high-protein vanilla yogurt into a shallow bowl and slightly flatten the surface using the back of a spoon. Top the yogurt with the warm peaches and their released juices.
- Finish with granola and serve: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of gluten-free granola over the top for added crunch and texture. Serve immediately to enjoy the delightful contrast of warm peaches and creamy yogurt.
Notes
- You can substitute monk fruit sweetener for brown sugar to reduce added sugars.
- Peeling the peach is optional but helps achieve a smoother texture in the bowl.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-sprayed pan to prevent sticking when cooking peaches.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the yogurt with plant-based high-protein yogurt.
- Feel free to add nuts or seeds on top for extra crunch and nutrition.
