Roasted Peaches With Blueberries

duonyte's Note:

This recipe is from"The Diabetes Weight Loss Cycle" by Antony Thompson. I have not tried it yet, but will as soon as peaches are in season - it sounds like it would make a wonderful breakfast! You need to use barley flakes, not plain barley, for this recipe, although I suspect rolled oats would also work.
