Brown sugar-baked peaches make for a scrumptious ... and low-calorie ... dessert. So good, you certainly won't miss the calories!
There's just not much better than a fresh-from-the-orchard peach. Unless it's a fresh-from-the-orchard baked peach. With brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon sprinkled on top.
It's the height of peach season in my neck of the woods ... and I just so happen to be fortunate enough to have a husband who drives by a peach stand every day on his way home from work. And I just so happen to be fortunate enough to have a very sweet husband who surprised me the other day with a big ol' box of fresh peaches. They. Are. So. Good.
We eat a lot of our fresh peaches 'straight up,' just cutting them into big juicy pieces and popping them in our mouths. And I love to bake with them, too. But, this time around I just didn't feel like making my usual peach treat - brandied peach cobbler. So, I whipped up a ginger-peach chicken dish (... which was a bit disappointing ... it needs some tweaks), followed by these Brown Sugar Baked Peaches for dessert.
Well, let me tell ya ... these baked peaches were not at all disappointing. They were fabulous! I found the recipe over here, and decided I needed to give them an immediate try because ...
1. They're easy.
2. They're low calorie. Yup, the recipe said they're only 95 calories per peach. Now, I calculated it to be 120 calories per peach ... but I had huge almost-big-as-your-head peaches. So, we'll just say you can have all this delicious peachiness for just about 100 calories. Score!
All you do to pull these together is slice some fresh peaches in half, remove the pit, and place them in a baking dish. Then, in the hollow of each peach half, put 1/2 teaspoon of butter ...
... and 1 or 2 teaspoons of brown sugar. The original recipe called for 2 teaspoons of brown sugar, but I only put 1 and it was totally tasty. So, choose based on your sweetness preference.
Then give them a little cinnamon sprinkling, and they'll look this ... all ready for the oven:
Pop them in the oven 'til the peaches are soft and tender, and the butter and brown sugar are all melty-gooey. Yum.
Serve these little beauties warm straight from the oven. For a little extra decadence, add a dollop of whipped cream or creme fraiche on the side. Oh, so good. And at just around 100 calories (even with the extra dollop if you use Cool Whip Lite), it's a beautiful and delicious health{ier} treat!

ReplyDeleteDelicious and so easy to make, not to mention my home smells amazing right now. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIs there anyway to make with half canned peaches? Especially during the winter?
ReplyDeleteYou can use the brown sugar blend splenda and even save a few more calories. Looks so yummy
ReplyDeleteBEEN DOING THESE ON THE GRILL FOR YEARS...
ReplyDeleteSAME PREP, ADD A SLICE OF POUND CAKE TO THE CUT SIDE OF THE PEACH.
WRAP WELL IN FOIL,
WHEN YOU TAKE THE MAIN COURSE OFF THE GRILL.
PLACE ON THE GRILL PEACH SIDE DOWN.
COOK OVER LOWISH HEAT WHILE YOU EAT,
TURN OVER, CAKE SIDE DOWN, FOR THE LAST 3-5 MIN.
UNWRAP AND ADD A SCOOP OF VANILLA ICE CREAM.
TO DIE FOR!
This looks fabulous! Thanks for using ziplist by the way! Its so helpful in keeping me organized when it comes time to find and make a recipe.
ReplyDeleteThese were very tasty, recipe was easy to follow and everything worked. Cutting in half and removing the pit was tricky. Half could be 2 directions. I cut the peach around the center, not from the stem and around the tail, then followed the seed until it would break free. Thanks for the good pics.
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple recipe for a quick, weeknight dessert. This looks great.
ReplyDeleteMy son and I picked lots of peaches yesterday at a local farm, and some were so ripe I had to figure out what to do with them quick (other than eating them plain -- too many for that). After running a Google search on "what to do with extra peaches," I came upon your wonderfully simple recipe!
ReplyDeleteMy son (who's six) helped prepare the peaches with the butter and brown sugar. So delicious! Even my husband, not a big peach fan, liked the results. This one's a keeper. Thanks so much!
I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed these, Pamela! And thank you so much for stopping back by to let me know ... it made me smile. :-)
DeleteThese peaches sound fabulous, I've never made baked peaches. Pinning :)

is there any alternative of these sports products?
How long lasting Best sports products ? Hope you response on these point.
Waiting for your response.
More over good job and keep it up.
I did this recipe this morning and they tasting way better than I expected!
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about this recipe (apart from taste) is its versatility - you can use other fruits instead of peaches and you can also add in spices or honey to give them an extra zing
ReplyDeleteWould substituting butter with olive oil work? I'm careful with saturated fats
ReplyDeleteSure, you can use olive oil instead of butter. The flavor will change, accordingly, with the substitution.
DeleteThanks for the inspiration. Our local grocery store just got some Colorado Peaches in and I’m off to buy some today.
ReplyDeleteYour online journal gave us profitable data to work with. Each and every tips of your post are amazing. You rock for sharing. Continue blogging, Doctor in Irving

ReplyDeleteWhat's your take on coconut oil? I.e. using natural organic coconut oil instead of butter? I try to stay away from dairy and have been doing most of my cooking with coconut oil instead. I also use peanut oil sometimes but I don't think it's the healthiest choice either. Plus the taste does not go with anything.
ReplyDeleteMade these last night and they are so good! Just had another warmed up in the microwave and still delicious! I added a little ginger along with the cinnamon just to add more spice.
