Ingredients
- A half cup of brown sugar
- One-fourth cup of maple syrup
- Three-fourth cup of peach yogurt
- A ripe banana, thoroughly mashed
- One-fourth cup of melted butter
- One beaten egg
- Half cup of steel cut oats
- One cup of all-purpose flour
- Three-fourth cup of whole wheat flour
- Two teaspoons of baking powder
- Half teaspoon of baking soda
- Two teaspoons of ground cinnamon
- A quarter teaspoon of salt
- One cup of chopped ripe peach
- Half cup of chopped pecans
- Half cup of whole wheat flour
- One-fourth cup of brown sugar

Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and generously greasing a 9x9-inch baking pan to ensure your creation doesn't stick.
Step 2
In a large bowl, blend together 1/2 cup of brown sugar, tantalizing maple syrup, creamy peach yogurt, a ripe banana, 1/4 cup of melted butter, a wholesome egg, and hearty oats. Let this harmonious mix rest and mingle until the oats have absorbed the flavors, usually around 10 to 20 minutes.
Step 3
While the oats are softening, combine a mix of all-purpose and whole wheat flour, along with baking powder, baking soda, 2 teaspoons of fragrant cinnamon, and a dash of salt in a separate bowl. Gently fold this flour medley and juicy peaches into the banana mixture until just united. Pour this delightful concoction into the awaiting baking pan.
Step 4
Next, craft a topping with pecans, more whole wheat flour, a sprinkle of brown sugar, another drizzle of melted butter, and a hint of cinnamon to add a crunchy layer of goodness. Spread this nutty mixture over the cake batter like an artist finishing their masterpiece.
Step 5
Slide your pan into the preheated oven and let it bake until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, usually around 40 to 50 minutes. After baking, allow your creation to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack for complete cooling. Enjoy the delightful aromas and flavors of your freshly baked creation!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- Ensure proper ventilation by storing the cake in a cool, dry place to prevent sogginess. For optimal freshness, cover the cake with a breathable cloth or paper towel to prevent it from drying out. To infuse a burst of flavor, store the cake in an airtight container with a slice of fresh peach to enhance its taste. For a refreshing twist, try storing the cake in the refrigerator and serve chilled for a delightful summer treat. Remember, a well-stored peach breakfast cake is a perfect way to start your day with a burst of fruity goodness!
