Serves: 15 squares
 
I only use eggs from local farms where I know the hens are free to roam
Ingredients
  • 3 medium ripe peaches, skin on, rinsed and sliced
  • ½ cup extra virgin cold-pressed olive oil
  • ⅓ cup pure cane sugar

  • 3 pasture-raised large eggs*
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder

  1. Preheat the oven to 370 F.
  2. Place the olive oil, cane sugar, ground almonds, polenta, eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl and stir well with a spoon.
  3. Add the whole wheat pastry flour and baking powder and stir well again.
  4. Pour the batter in a 10.5" by 7" rectangular baking dish, lightly greased with a drizzle of olive oil.
  5. Place the sliced peaches on top of the batter.
  6. Place in preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
