Peach crisp or crumble is typically a summer dessert (the best time to get fresh peaches), but I personally find this delicious peach crumble good all year long!
Peach Crisp Ingredients
- Ripe Peaches: I recommend using freshly sliced ripe peaches to make this delicious vegan and gluten free peach crisp.
- Oats: To make that golden and buttery crumbly oat topping, use quick oats or rolled old fashioned oats. If you are gluten-free, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
- Butter: Butter is how we give our oats that golden crisp texture. Use vegan butter or regular butter. You can also use coconut oil.
- Sugar: To sweeten the crumble that is served over the juicy peaches, use coconut or cane sugar.
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon gives the oats a delicious warm flavor.
- Ice Cream or Yogurt Topping: Choose to serve this as a dessert with vanilla ice cream or as a breakfast with yogurt (use regular or non-dairy as desired).
How To Make Healthy Free Peach Crumble
Step 1: Preheat the oven. Slice your ripe peaches and toss them into a greased baking dish.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix the oats, butter, cinnamon, and sugar together to make the crumble oat topping.
Step 3 - Pour the oatmeal crumble over the peaches and bake the peaches in the oven until the crisp is golden and the peaches are bubbling.
Step 4 - Serve warm with vanilla yogurt for breakfast or vanilla ice cream for dessert!
How To Store Leftovers
You will want to store this delicious peach crumble covered in the fridge. Reheat by scooping out a portion and microwaving it until warm.
