2/3 cup ripe avocado, mashed
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole wheat or oat flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)

3 cups canned sliced peaches, in their own juice and no sugar added
1/2 cup of the canned peach juice, reserved and divided
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients and use a fork to stir just until they are combined. Do not over mix.
