Let’s be real, when it’s peach season and you’re craving something sweet, baked peaches are where it’s at. If you’re trying to eat a little lighter but still want dessert (hello, yes), I’ve got you.
We’re talking low-calorie peach desserts, healthy peach cobbler clean-eating style, and peach cast-iron dessert ideas that feel like a hug and taste even better.
1. Classic Baked Peaches with Cinnamon and Honey
Slice your peach in half, scoop out the pit, and place it cut-side up in a small baking dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle honey over the top.
Bake until soft and warmit’s like peach pie without the crust, and it smells like a cozy summer night.
2. Cast Iron Skillet Baked Peaches with Maple Crunch
Place the peach halves in a cast-iron skillet and top with chopped pecans and maple syrup. Let it bake until bubbly and caramelized.
It gets crispy around the edges and feels way fancier than the effort it takes.
3. Healthy Peach Cobbler
Toss sliced peaches with cinnamon, then top with a crumble made of oats, almond flour, and a little coconut sugar. Bake until golden and bubbly.
It’s the clean-eating version of cobbler that still feels like dessert.
4. Stuffed Baked Peaches with Greek Yogurt and Granola
Bake peach halves until soft, then fill them with Greek yogurt and crunchy granola. It’s creamy, sweet, and feels like a balanced dessert or a fancy breakfast.
If you’re like me and can’t wait until after dinner.
5. Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler with Fresh Peaches
Layer sliced fresh peaches in a Dutch oven with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Top with biscuit dough and bake until golden brown.
It’s rustic and warm, and it smells like someone spent hours in the kitchen (but it’s mostly hands-off).
6. Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Peaches
Cut peaches in half and sprinkle with cinnamon and coconut sugar. Roast them until they’re juicy and caramelized.
I love pairing these with a spoonful of plain yogurt to keep things light but still feel like dessert.
7. Baked Peaches with Oat Crumble Topping
Place peach halves in a baking dish, top with a mix of oats, maple syrup, and coconut oil, and bake until golden.
It smells incredible and tastes even better. This one is perfect for a weeknight treat.
8. Mini Peach Bakes in Muffin Tins
Layer peach slices in muffin tins with oat flour, almond milk, and cinnamon.
They bake into these cute little peachy bites that are great for snacking or a sweet little brunch side.
9. Baked Peaches with Almond Butter Drizzle
Bake sliced peaches until soft, then drizzle with almond butter and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
It’s creamy, cozy, and gives big PB&J energy just lighter and a whole lot juicier.
10. Spiced Baked Peaches with Chia Seeds
Add a little ginger and nutmeg to your peach slices before baking. Once warm and soft, sprinkle with chia seeds.
It’s got just enough spice to feel special but stays light and simple.

Bake plain peach halves until juicy, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt. That sweet-and-salty combo is a game changer. You’ll wonder why you’ve never tried it before.

It’s sweet, savory, and totally unexpected in the best way.

It turns creamy and warm and hits the spot when you want something satisfying but still light.
