- 8 peaches halved and pit removed
- 2 tsp unrefined coconut oil
- ½ cup full-fat coconut cream
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 drops doterra lemon essential oil sub 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup raw almonds crushed
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon powder
- ¼ cup wild blueberries
Melt the coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Place peaches cut side down in the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
In the meantime, combine coconut cream, maple syrup and lemon in a small bowl (I used my mini food pro). Set aside.
Once the peaches are seared, remove from the pan and plate.
Add the crushed almonds and cinnamon to the pan. Dry saute for 2 minutes to toast the nuts.
Drizzle coconut cream over peaches and top with toasted almonds and wild blueberries.
Serve immediately.
Save any remaining coconut cream for up to 5 days in the fridge. Add a touch to your morning smoothie!
