Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but if you choose to top your baked peaches with granola, check the label. While oats are inherently gluten-free, some oats are processed on machinery that also processes gluten-containing grains.
Because we use butter in this recipe, it is not vegan, but it is vegetarian. You could replace the butter with a plant-based butter and serve it with a plant-based yogurt to make it vegan—and just as delicious.
When shopping for fresh peaches at the store, select those that feel heavy for their size, have unblemished skin and are vibrant in color. Try to steer clear of peaches with green tinges, and any with bruised, dented or wrinkled skin. They should feel slightly soft when gently pressed. You can ripen and store peaches at room temperature. Ripe peaches can be used right away, or they can be refrigerated for up to a week.
Seve baked peaches with your favorite store-bought or homemadevanilla ice cream. They’re also delicious with a dollop ofGreek yogurt,whipped creamorcottage cheese. Sprinkle the baked peaches withgranolaor chopped nuts, like almonds, walnuts or pecans, for some crunch. If you have leftover baked peaches, they pair well withoatmealfor a healthy breakfast.
To store baked peaches, cool them completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave on High in 1-minute intervals until warm.
Yes, you can, but unripe peaches will lack the sweetness and juiciness of ripe peaches. Unripe peaches also have a firm texture, and they may take longer to bake until tender. If you have unripe peaches, you can ripen them in a paper bag to help speed up the process.
There’s no need to peel the peaches. The skin gives the baked peaches some texture, plus you’ll save time on prep. If you don’t like peach skin, there are a couple easy ways to peel peaches in minutes.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
