  • Vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill – Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  4. Grill the Peaches – Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear. Flip them over and grill for another 3 minutes.
  5. Add the Topping – Spoon the oatmeal mixture onto the peach halves while they are still warm.
  6. Drizzle with Honey – Finish by drizzling honey over the grilled peaches and serve immediately with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt if desired.

  • Use Maple Syrup – Swap out the honey for maple syrup for a different kind of sweetness.
  • Try Different Nuts – Almonds, pecans, or walnuts add a delightful crunch.
  • Add a Crunchy Topping – Sprinkle crushed granola on top for even more texture.
  • Make It Dairy-Free – Use coconut oil instead of butter for a plant-based version.

Storage & Reheating

While these grilled peaches are best enjoyed fresh, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm them in a skillet over low heat.
