It’s peach season! For the next few weeks, we will come home with a big bag of peaches after every trip to the farmers market. The season is short, so while it’s here, we make it a goal to enjoy them as much as we can.

Every summer the abundance of peaches inspires us to make this easy and delicious Peach Crisp. Because this recipe is so easy to make, it’s a great choice for summer entertaining. It’s also ideal for serving guests with special dietary needs, because it’s vegan and gluten-free!

PERFECT PEACH CRISP {VEGAN + GF}

Ingredients:

• 7-8 ripe peaches (halved, pits removed and chopped // I also threw in a few cherries)

• 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats

• 1/4 cup almond meal

• 1/4 cup gluten-free flour (or sub all-purpose flour)

• 1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans or walnuts

• 2 Tbsp packed light brown sugar

• 2 Tbsp coconut sugar

• 1 pinch sea salt

• 4 Tbsp olive oil or coconut oil (coconut oil will have a coconut flavor) plus more for the coating pan

 Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (and lightly coat an 8×8 (or similar size) baking dish with coconut or olive oil.

Add peaches, and spread flat.

To a mixing bowl add the remaining ingredients (including oil) and, using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix until all everything is evenly distributed. (This makes the crumble topping.)

Add the crumble to the top in an even layer and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the peaches are bubbling and the top is crisp and golden.

Serve as is, or with vanilla ice cream. (We like Foragers or Moo Nada for dairy-free)
