Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 ¼ pounds fresh peaches (3-4 large), peeled, if desired, and thinly sliced, or 4 cups sliced frozen peaches, thawed

  • ¼ cup sugar

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • Pinch of salt

Topping

  • 1 cup white whole-wheat flour

  • ½ cup cornmeal

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ cup buttermilk

  • ¼ cup canola oil

  • 3 tablespoons sugar, divided

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

  2. To prepare filling: Combine peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a large bowl; toss to coat. Transfer to a 9-inch shallow glass or ceramic baking dish.

  3. To prepare topping: Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until well blended. Whisk egg, buttermilk, oil and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to blend.

  4. Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl and set aside.

  5. Evenly spoon the batter over top of the peach mixture. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the topping. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake until the peaches are bubbly, the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the topping comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for about 20 minutes before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* 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.)
