Spiced Peach and Pistachio Crisp...Healthy, Delicious Summer Desserts!


I was on a mission earlier in the week to find a new healthy yet delicious dessert to eat. I came across this recipe and it is a sure fire win. My friend video taped me making it but I am not sure the final cut will make it to my new website...so that being said I am just going to share it here. This dish is so delicious, you would probably never guess it is good for you.

This is a spiced peach and pistachio crisp. Peaches are low in calories, have no saturated fat and are high in antioxidants. Pistachios are a rich source of vitamin B6 (which is great for the nervous system), great for your eyes and heart and can help keep diabetes at bay.


Spiced Peach and Pistachio Crisp

5 medium peaches, pitted and sliced ( I kept the peels on for extra fiber, but you can take those off too if you wish!)
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon white whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped shelled pistachios
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons non-fat plain Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons of butter, melted

1. Pre-heat oven to 350. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peaches, honey, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of the flour.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the remaining flour, oats, brown sugar, pistachios, ginger, cardamom and salt. Then with a wooden spoon, mix in the yogurt and melted butter. Stir until mixture is moistened.
3. Pour the peach filling in a baking dish and top with the oat mixture. Bake for about 35 minutes.

ENJOY!!
