1 can (15 oz) peaches, preferably in light syrup or natural fruit juice
1/4 cup quick oats
1/4 cup dry cereal (I used corn flakes)
-or-
1/4 cup granola
dash or two of cinnamon
1 tablespoon brown sugar, if desired
Mix oats and cereal, slightly crunching up cereal or breaking up large granola bits.
Put about 1/3 of cereal mixture into microwave-safe bowl or large coffee mug.
Make layer of peaches, alternate peach and cereal layers, then top it all off with remainder of cereal mixture and cinnamon/sugar.
No need to drain peaches, the liquid will help bind it all together. You may want to reserve a small amount to drizzle on top of the top cereal layer to moisten it a little, though.
Microwave on high for 2-2.5 minutes.
Let cool for at least 4 or 5 minutes, and enjoy!
I designed this recipe for the average dorm room resident or kitchen-challenged individual, hence the simple ingredients and microwave use. This is a great way to enjoy canned fruit.
If you prefer fresh, you can substitute the canned peaches with 2 fresh ones + 1/3 cup apple or pineapple juice.
