1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp pepper

Peaches and Oatmeal with Pecans



1 bag of no sugar added peaches
6 table spoons real butter cut into pieces and placed over top of peaches
cover with quick oats generously covering peaches
add 1/3 cup rice flour or whole wheat flour
and about 1/2 inch of water into the bottom of the pan
stir together
spinkle with cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg and ginger over the top of the peaches
crush pecans and place on top
(sprinkle with 1 stevia packet, optional, I think peaches are sweet enough on their own)
Bake at 375 for about 45 mins
I like to stir it a few times and add a little water if need, sprinkle with cinnamon before serving
Yummy with a glass of almond milk
