In this whole-fruit breakfast crisp, a crunchy oat topping perfectly complements sweet peaches drizzled in cinnamon- and ginger-spiced orange juice. Add a dollop of dairy-free yogurt on top and you have the ultimate morning meal.

Tip: For beautiful baked peaches, seek out freestone peach varieties rather than clingstone types, which don’t separate easily from the pit. Most grocery stores only sell freestone varieties, so it should be easy to get perfectly halved fruit. To make this gluten or nut free, use certified gluten-free oats and omit the walnuts.

Ingredients

6 fresh peaches, halved and pitted (peeled, if desired)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups rolled oats (choose certified gluten-free if you're avoiding gluten)
⅓ cup dry millet
⅓ cup dried cherries
¼ cup chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons orange juice
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 container vanilla vegan yogurt (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place peaches cut sides up in a 13×9-inch baking dish. Brush cut edges with lemon juice. In a medium bowl toss together oats, millet, cherries, and walnuts. In a small bowl stir together orange juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, and ginger. Drizzle over oat mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle over peaches.
Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until peaches are tender and granola is browned. If desired, top warm peach halves with vanilla plant-based yogurt and additional maple syrup.

Can you please consider adding the nutritional calories, fat and carbohydrates to your recipes? Much appreciated.

Forks Over Knives1 year ago

Hi Valerie! We have chosen not to include nutritional information for our recipes as we would not encourage nutrient tallying and calorie counting, which we believe can create more problems than they solve. The general guideline to follow is that, with a whole-food, plant-based diet, you can eat until comfortably satiated.

The higher water and fiber content of whole plant-based foods allows our bodies to more accurately gauge how much food we need to eat. Whole plant foods contain all the essential nutrients (with the exception of Vitamin B12), and in proportions that are more consistent with human needs than animal-based or processed foods.

However, we do understand that certain medical conditions do require knowing specific nutrient information, so for those instances we recommend entering our recipes into online nutritional software: http://www.cronometer.com. If you have a health issue or have concerns, be sure to consult a physician.

I used muesli. Very good. Will definitely make again!

Is the millet cooked first?
Thank you.

Donna1 year ago

I made this last night. I did not cook the millet in advance. It toasts along with the oats.

Will try this.
Seems delicious.

How much of the recipe do I eat? This looks like it is meant to feed multiple people?

Liz Turner2 years ago

Hi Alison, we avoid telling people how much to eat; instead we just say how much a recipe makes. All our recipes are quite healthy, and how much you eat is up to you. I would probably eat three half peaches with granola for breakfast, as shown in the photo. In that case you would have enough for four people. If you’re serving this for dessert, it will stretch a little farther.
