Directions:
Oil the grill grates and heat grill to medium-high (400°F to 450°F). 

Make sure the grill is good and hot.

Brush both sides of peach halves with avocado oil. Olive oil works fine, but avocado oil handles heat better, and has a milder flavor.

Grill peach halves cut side down, uncovered, for about a minute, until grill marks appear. 

Flip peaches, brush 1 teaspoon of the maple syrup on cut side of each peach half, and grill about 1 more minute until tender.

In a small mixing bowl, blend together yogurt, vanilla mascarpone, and remaining ½ tablespoon maple syrup.

Top warm peaches with mascarpone mixture and mint leaves, and serve.
