Semi-Healthy (300 Calorie) Peach Cobbler For Two

Ok, Ok I know I have been posting unhealthy dessert recipes more frequently than I have been posting healthy, vegetarian dinner recipes.

Blame my post-pregnancy sweet tooth, blame my long work schedule keeping me from having the time to make deliciously time consuming meals, or blame the fact that these recipes simply taste good.

Nevertheless, Saturday night I was faced with two very ripe peaches.

What was I to do?!

Baby S was fast asleep, and inspiration struck (or maybe it was sweet tooth speaking up!). Whatever the reason, I decided to bake.... and actually try and do so in a semi-healthy manner.

Semi-Healthy Peach Cobbler
Serves 2


Ingredients:
2 Ripe Peaches
1/4 Cup Oats
6 Teaspoons Dark Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
2 Tbsp. Margarine

Directions:

1. Slice and peel the skin off of the two peaches; evenly place the sliced peaches in two (individual serving sized) small oven-safe  baking dishes.


2. In a microwave save bowl, add the brown sugar, flour, margarine, and oats; microwave for 60 seconds and stir to combine.


3. Pour half of the oat/brown sugar topping on top of each peach filled serving dish.


4. Bake at 350* for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and oat/brown sugar topping has begun to firm.
