I think it’s safe to say that I’ve been on a berry kick lately.
From these overnight oats, to that coffee cake, and this crisp, berries have been overflowing in my kitchen.
That’s not really a surprise, right? I mean, it is summer!
But, I’ve feel like I’ve been neglecting my favorite fruit to bake with, and it’s time that I change that. So, let me introduce my latest (and tastiest) peach recipe.
You see, I love peaches, but I’m usually not one to buy them just to snack on.
While that happens every once in a while, I much prefer to use them in baked goods. For example, this bread quickly became a favorite of mine, as did that salsa and this breakfast quinoa. And since it’s summer, I figured it was time to break out the grill and indulge in some fresh peaches.

If you haven’t tried grilled peaches before, you need to run. Right now. To your grill and fire it up.
What makes these peaches so darn good is the cinnamon and brown sugar topping. As it heats, it caramelizes and creates a crispy crust. Once you dig into that peach, it oozes with flavor. Mmmm….it is SO good, guys!
I know grilled peaches aren’t anything new, but I got the idea from this Caramelized Brown Sugar Grapefruit that I shared last year. It’s still one of my favorite recipes, and it’s the brown sugar topping that makes the fruit taste out-of-this-world good. So, of course, I had to do it again, but with peaches for the summer!
And did I mention how easy these Grilled Peaches with Cinnamon and Brown Sugar are to make? So easy! But you knew that was coming, right?
I actually used a grill pan for this recipe, which still creates those beautiful, dark grill marks on the peaches. But, if you don’t own a grill pan, or prefer to use an actual grill, go for it!
Since the hubster is the grill master around here (and I’m forbidding myself to touch a regular grill), I went with my trusty grill pan.
You know what makes these Grilled Peaches with Cinnamon and Brown Sugar crazy delicious? A big ‘ole scoop of vanilla ice cream, along with some caramel syrup and a sprinkling of brown sugar on top. Now that’s how you do an easy summer dessert!
Of course, you could also skip the ice cream and add some Greek yogurt on top of these peaches, too. Doesn’t that sound like the perfect breakfast?
So grab those peaches and get grillin’ to make this easy and oh-so fresh summer dessert or breakfast!
