Peach Cobbler – sweet and tart, warm and gooey dessert.

Summer is officially over. But I had a huge bowl of ripe peaches left coupled with a mean sweet tooth. And, fruit is healthy after all, right? I am trying to cut back on sugar and carbs (cut back being the keyword here). So, I took a very easy traditional Peach Cobbler recipe, and just substituted some other ingredients I had on hand and used less of the ‘bad’ stuff. I used Rice Flour instead of regular flour to make it gluten free.

The best part about this recipe is that you really don’t need to measure anything. Just put in what looks good to you, and bake. It’s that easy. And, it’s always delicious, especially topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

 

  • 3-4 Cups Peach pieces (peeled and sliced, no pit. Use frozen if you’d like).
  • 1/2- 1 Cup Flour (I used Sweet Rice Flour to keep this gluten free. Substitute any flour you’d like).
  • Handful of Oatmeal
  • 1/2 – 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1-2 teaspoons Lemon Zest (optional but gives it a great flavor).
  • Handful of Raisins (optional)
  • 1-2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • Handful of Walnuts (optional of course).
  • 2 – 4 Tablespoons Butter (cut into cubes).

 

Cover the peaches. Bake. Done.

Mix all the ingredients together. Bake. Done!

Mix all of the ingredients in one bowl.

 

Put into a casserole dish and bake at 350-375 degrees F until browning and bubbly. 

 

Serve topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Cookie Dough Truffles

Truffles are easy. But these are easier. Love cookie dough? Who doesn’t? But, because most cookie dough contains raw egg, it’s not a good idea to eat raw cookie dough. Enter “pasteurized eggs”. Pasteurization heats the eggs up to a temperature that kills whatever bacteria might be on the egg or inside (like salmonella which is unfortunately somewhat common on eggs). I’ve read that one can pasteurize eggs at home by merely heating water up to 140 degrees Fahreinheit and leaving the eggs in the water for 5 minutes. I have not tried this myself because it’s much easier to just buy pasteurized egg product at the store. Plus, I don’t have to break any eggs. Bonus!

With clean hands, roll “truffles” in your hand to form little circles (any size you like).

 

Then, roll your “truffles” in sweetened cocoa powder, or confectioner’s sugar, chocolate jimmies, mini white chocolate chips, nuts, coconut or even chili powder! Super fun. Super easy. A great party dessert recipe!
