The juicy, tender peaches are gently sweetened and spiced, creating a warm and comforting base. Topped with a golden-brown, oat-based crumble that offers the perfect balance of texture and taste, each bite is a harmonious blend of fruity goodness and nutty crunch. Whether served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or enjoyed on its own, this peach crisp is sure to become a favorite for any occasion. Embrace the essence of summer with a dessert that’s as wholesome as it is delicious.

A Guilt-Free Dessert

The natural sweetness of ripe peaches eliminates the need for excessive added sugars, allowing you to indulge in a dessert that’s both satisfying and nourishing. The peaches shine through and stand on their own with all the goodness the season has to offer.

Diabetic-Friendly and Delicious

One of the standout features of this peach crisp is its diabetic-friendly nature. By using low-glycemic sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia, this dessert helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, making it a safe option for people managing diabetes. The combination of healthy fats from coconut oil and the fiber-rich almond flour further supports blood sugar control, preventing the spikes that are often associated with traditional desserts.

Wholesome Ingredients, Big Flavor

In addition to being low in sugar, the Incredible Peach Crisp is also packed with nutritional benefits. Peaches are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants that support your immune system and skin health. Almond flour adds a boost of protein and healthy fats, which contribute to satiety and help keep you feeling full longer. The use of oats in the topping adds an extra dose of fiber, promoting healthy digestion and further enhancing the nutritional profile of this delicious dessert.

Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth the Healthy Way

What makes this peach crisp even more appealing is that it delivers all the flavor and comfort of a traditional dessert without the guilt. You can enjoy the sweet, juicy peaches and the crispy, buttery topping without worrying about gluten, dairy, or excessive sugar. Whether you’re looking for a healthy dessert option or simply want to enjoy a classic treat with a modern twist, the Incredible Peach Crisp is a delicious and nutritious choice that everyone can savor.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Peaches

• 4-6 large peaches
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Crumb Topping

• ½ cup oat flour
• ½ cup oats
• ¼ cup vegan butter
• 2-4 tablespoons coconut sugar

Instructions

 

Poach or blanch and peel a peaches

• Start with ripe but firm peaches. Wash them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. You can optionally add a little lemon juice or vinegar to the water to help maintain the peach color.
• Using a sharp knife, make a shallow X-shaped cut at the bottom of each peach. This helps in easy removal of the skin after blanching.
  
• Carefully place the peaches into the boiling water using a slotted spoon.
• Blanch them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how ripe they are. The goal is to loosen the skin without cooking the fruit.
• Once blanched or poached, immediately transfer the peaches to a bowl of ice water using the slotted spoon. This stops the cooking process and makes it easier to handle.
• After cooling in the ice bath for a few minutes, the peach skin should easily peel off. You can use your fingers to gently rub off the skin starting from the X-shaped cut.
  
• Once peeled, slice then chop. Proceed with recipe. If not using immediately, store them in the refrigerator.
• Add coconut sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch to peaches and coat well. Pour into a 8×8 or 9×9 square baking dish. If using individual ramekins, fill with about 1 cup of peach mixture.

Prepare topping

• Combine oat flour, whole oats, vegan butter and coconut sugar with a fork or your fingers to make a crumb mix. This is one of the times when I use vegan butter. If you choose to not use vegan butter, you can use applesauce or a nut butter.
  
• Pour crumb mix over peaches. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until peaches juice bubbles and topping is crisp and nicely browned.
  

Notes

If you don’t have any peaches on hand, try any stone or fall fruit. Apples, pears, nectarines, plums, or cherries would all be fabulous here.

The coconut sugar adds a touch of sweetness which allows for bypassing using maple syrup (which can be a bit pricy). So use the sweetener of your choice that fits your nutritional goals.

This is one of the VERY rare times I use vegan butter. If you prefer to avoid vegan butter, you can use applesauce e or a freshly ground, unsalted, and unsweetened nut butter such as almond or cashew.
