Hi friends! It's been a while since I posted a new #recipe on my blog!
I feel that this recipe includes many ingredients due to the fact that it has 3 different layers buuuut believe it or no it's not a #dessert that takes too long to make either.
A few days ago on stories I mentioned how certain combinations between #carbohydrates & fat or carbohydrates with protein could make a difference during the digestion process which can help you avoid those undesirable glucose spikes.
Simple sugars typically cause glucose spikes because they are digested very quickly. Unlike fat & protein, they take longer to break down, even more time when they have a complex & long chain.
Since this is a dessert recipe I decided to take the liberty to talk about this because treats can also have some added benefits! I know that it's a popular belief that desserts are ALWAYS "bad foods" we should stay away from. The majority, especially that ones that are not homemade can be higher in sugar (by no means I'm suggesting not to eat treats at restaurants/coffee shops) because you're not choosing the ingredients. But if you're making them at home you can decide which ingredients will be included in a specific recipe. That said, I decided to add a little protein boost to the crust to delay the digestion process due to the fact that this can be higher in simple sugars. It also includes ghee which also helps in delaying the digestion process & by this preventing a glucose spike and a sugar crash later on!
I feel that focusing on those little details can make a difference when we're cooking treats or any other kind of recipe! I hope you find this information interesting & loooove this recipe as much as me & my family did! Enjoy!

Meanwhile the crust is in the oven, dice the peaches & place them in a medium saucepan along with the other ingredients for the filling. When it starts to have a caramel consistency, remove from heat.
