4-6tablespoonMaple Cinnamon Skillet Granola(or anything other toppings you'd like!)
Instructions
Naturally Sweetened Cashew Cream
Stir the maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract and salt into the cashew cream and mix well. (You can even toss it all into the blender if you're making a fresh batch of cashew cream)
Pour into a sealable container and set aside.
Maple Cinnamon Skillet Granola
Heat the coconut oil over medium-low heat in large skillet. Stir in the oats, making sure to coat evenly with the coconut oil.
Stir in the Maple syrup, followed by the vanilla and cinnamon.
Turn the heat down a notch or two and continue to stir consistently.
Cook until the oats are golden brown and remove the skillet off the heat.
Peaches and Cream
Chop the peaches into cubes or slices and mix with the cashew cream in a medium bowl. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, and up to 24 hours. (The longer the peaches sit the in cashew cream, the peachier the flavour!)
Once the Peaches and Cream have set to your liking, spoon out into individual cups and top with a few tablespoons of Maple Cinnamon Granola!
Notes
*If you're a dark chocolate lover, a little shaved on the top pairs so nicely with the peach and cinnamon flavours!To make this dessert even healthier or to enjoy as a breakfast parfait, you can always use Cultured Cashew Yogurt instead of the Cashew Cream!
