Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine peaches, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl.
- Pour the peach mixture into an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine muffin mix and nutmeg.
- Cut in margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spoon the crumb mixture over the peaches.
- Bake at 375°F for 40 to 45 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon along with the nutmeg. If you don't have oatmeal muffin mix, you can substitute with a regular muffin mix or a homemade blend of oats, flour, and baking powder. Ensure the peaches are ripe for the best sweetness, and consider adding a splash of vanilla extract for depth of flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to enhance the flavors. For a refreshing contrast, consider pairing it with a light Seed And Sprouts Salad. This dish can also be served as a delightful breakfast or brunch option, especially with a side of coffee or tea.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick snack, but the oven will help maintain the crispiness of the topping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before using them. This will help prevent the cobbler from becoming too watery. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the frozen peaches.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, substitute the oatmeal muffin mix with a gluten-free muffin mix or a blend of gluten-free flour and oats. Ensure that all other ingredients, including sugar and any toppings, are labeled gluten-free for safety.
What other fruits can I use in this cobbler?
You can easily substitute peaches with other fruits like blueberries, blackberries, or apples. Each fruit will bring a unique flavor and texture, so feel free to experiment based on seasonal availability or personal preference.
