Ingredients

3 ripe peaches
3 tablespoon butter divided, substitute with coconut oil or vegan butter if needed
2 tablespoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoon rolled oats
3 tablespoon oat flour
½ teaspoon cinnamon
vanilla ice cream optional

Instructions

Wash and dry the peaches and then slice each one in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoon butter with the brown sugar and vanilla over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent the butter from burning. Continue to cook until the butter mixture begins to simmer.
Once the butter is simmering, place each peach half in the skillet, cut side down. Place the lid on the skillet and allow the peaches to cook for 3 - 5 minutes until the edges are caramelized. Move the peaches around the skillet after a few minutes to prevent them from burning if your stove has “hot spots”.
Transfer the peaches to a serving dish or baking pan to cool down slightly before serving.
In the same skillet, add the rolled oats, oat flour, and cinnamon along with the other 1 tablespoon butter. Stir to combine until the oats begin to develop into small clusters. Remove the heat and allow the oats to cool for 5 minutes. They will get even crispier as they cool down.
When ready to serve, place a scoop of ice cream on top of each peach half and top with a sprinkle of the oat mixture and enjoy!
