Multi-Grain Hazelnut Spiced Peach Crisps

The end of summer means peach trees hanging heavy with ripe, juicy, voluptuous peaches. These are the peaches that kids climb high in the branches of the family tree to find and then those little rascals stay up in the branches and eat the sweet fruit until sticky juice is running down to their elbows. That’s the flavor we’re capturing today in these Home Baker’s personal Spiced Fresh Peach Hazelnut Multi-Grain Crisps. Serve them warm with your favorite ice cream or for a delicious addition to any brunch or breakfast.

We begin by making the fresh peach filling using the ease and convenience of the microwave. This cuts the baking time and also ensures the filling is thick. We also use the Panhandle Milling Multigrain and chia pancake mix as the base ingredient for the batter topping. This gives your desserts lower-sugar well rounded whole grain flavor. Finally, we top the batter with the crunch and flavor of chopped hazelnuts.

Directions:
