Ingredients
Pilaf with Skewered Kebabs
Instructions
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan so nothing sticks. In a big bowl, mix together the brown sugar, maple syrup, peach yogurt, mashed banana, melted butter, egg, and oats until everything is nice and combined. Let that sit for about 10 to 20 minutes so the oats can soften up a bit. Meanwhile, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in another bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients and the chopped peaches into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Pour this batter into your prepared pan.
Step 2
Next, make the topping by mixing the pecans, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and a little cinnamon until crumbly. Sprinkle this evenly over the cake batter. Pop the pan into the oven and bake for around 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Once it’s done, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!

Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to one month. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving to bring back that fresh-baked warmth.
