✨ Inspired by @hannahharvestinghealthh

✅ Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups rolled oats

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour (use gluten-free like @bobsredmill 1:1 if needed)

• ½ cup granulated sugar (coconut sugar works great!)

• ½ tsp baking powder

• ¾ cup diced fresh peaches

• ¼ cup milk (any plant-based milk – almond works well)

• ⅓ cup oil or melted butter (coconut oil adds a lovely touch)

• 1 egg

Optional Icing:

• Powdered sugar + a few drops of water until drizzle consistency

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, and egg.

3. Add in the rolled oats, flour, sugar, and baking powder – stir until well combined.

4. Gently fold in the diced peaches.

5. Use a cookie scoop to portion out 12 cookies. Slightly flatten each with the back of a spoon.

6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.

7. (Optional) Once cooled, drizzle with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and water.

Pro Tips:

• Use fresh, ripe peaches for best flavor. Canned peaches (well-drained) also work in a pinch.

• Let cookies cool before icing to avoid melting.

• Store in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
