12 delish ways to put your summer peach haul to good use

When it comes to summer produce, peaches are definitely a farmers’ market favorite. (Hey, at least some of all that emoji usage is actually about food.)

Between its natural sweetness and fleshy interior, the fuzzy fruit packs both taste and texture. But while there’s nothing better than biting into a just-ripe peach on a hot day, it’s a surprisingly versatile recipe ingredient.

From unexpected breakfasts (think overnight oats with creamy avocado) and savory summer dinners (like a Thai quinoa salad that’s picnic perfect) to the classic cobbler (with dairy-free ice-cream, natch), you’ve got plenty of reasons to pick up a bushel this weekend.

Ready to bite in? Here are 12 super-delish ways to cook with peaches this summer.
