Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for this enticing dish:
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp corn starch (optional, for thickening)
- ½ tbsp honey (optional, based on peach sweetness)
- ½ cup large flake rolled oats
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 3 tbsp flaxseed
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or almonds)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (or unsalted butter)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon (ground)
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (ground)
- 1 pinch salt
Feel free to substitute the nuts based on your preference or dietary needs—pecans, almonds, or even walnuts work beautifully.
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch (if using). If your peaches aren’t as sweet as you’d like, add honey or a sugar substitute. Toss until the peaches are well-coated and pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, flaxseed, chopped nuts, melted coconut oil or butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is well-combined and crumbly.
- Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the peach filling in the baking dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Let the peach crisp cool for a few minutes before serving. This short wait helps the filling set a bit, making it easier to serve.
