Sweet Baked Peaches with Yoghurt, Strawberries and Pistachios

Nothing says autumn to me like the smell of cinnamon coming from the kitchen. Paired with a juicy baked fruit, it’s the most delightful combination. This simple recipe is a lovely breakfast option, especially when heading into the darker mornings of winter. It’s warming, tasty and oh-so satisfying. I often make a bigger batch of the peaches at the start of the week so I can reheat them for breakfast a few days in a row, but you can also use any leftovers for a low-calorie dessert, served with some low-calorie ice cream and topped with a sprinkling of crushed pistachios

2 ripe peaches, halved and destoned

2 teaspoons brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

10 strawberries, sliced

20 unsalted pistachios, deshelled and roughly crushed in a pestle and mortar

200g fat free Greek yoghurt

1 tsp honey

Method

  1. Pre heat the oven to 180c. Place the peaches cut side up into a small oven dish. Sprinkle with 2 tsp brown sugar and ½ tsp cinnamon and put in the oven for 30 minutes.
  2. Take four pieces of tin foil and sit each peach half inside a piece of foil, uncovered.
  3. Sprinkle the peaches with the brown sugar and cinnamon, wrap each peach so they are totally covered and pop into a small baking dish. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  4. While the peaches are baking, slice the strawberries and crush the pistachios.
  5. Once cooked, remove the peaches from the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes. Remove from the foil and then slice each half into three wedges.
  6. Splitting between two bowls, add the yoghurt, the peaches and the strawberries, then top with the crushed pistachios and a little drizzle of honey.
