This magical recipe came about out of pure desperation.

When my oldest was a toddler, he went through a peach-only phase. All day, every day—just peaches. And honestly, who could blame him? But by about day four of nothing but peaches, I knew I had to intervene. So I did what all tired parents do: I got creative.

I simmered some frozen peach slices with a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg and a small drizzle of maple syrup, then blended it into a lightly chunky peach sauce. And then – I held my breath and added it to yogurt. Gasp. If you’ve ever lived with a picky eater, you know this moment well. I handed him the bowl, braced myself, and waited. He took one cautious bite… then another… and before I knew it, the bowl was empty and he was asking for more. I happily refilled his bowl, after making one for myself, of course. We sat on the back porch together, eating what he proudly declared “the best peaches in the world.”

The magic really is in that peach sauce. Simmering the peaches brings out their natural sweetness and lets the spices and maple syrup melt right in, creating a flavor-packed swirl that pairs perfectly with creamy yogurt. A match made in heaven—or at least, a very happy match made in your kitchen.

#mymomhack: Make a double batch of the peach sauce and freeze half for later. To defrost, pop it in the fridge overnight or gently warm it in the microwave. You’ll thank yourself later.
