Cooking with Cat: Peachy Cobbler Portions
A healthy and delicious dessert for your toddler.
Since peaches are one of my favorite things about summer, I was so excited to try this recipe! Peaches store well in the freezer, so you can enjoy this sweet dessert year-round. I was thrilled to see a healthy alternative to peach cobbler and couldn’t wait to give it a shot. Not only is this a great option for baby, but the perfectly portioned desserts are great for mom or dad. This recipe is a great source of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Fiber.

Here is what you will need:
3 cups peeled peaches, mashed

2 tablespoons honey* (substitute for raw sugar if making for a child under 1)
1 cup crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup butter, melted
Cut Peaches.
Note* To remove skin easily, you can boil the peaches. This makes them softer and easier to mash also.

Evenly scoop topping onto the top of the peach mixture in the muffin tin.
