Farmer's Market Peach Crisp
55 minServes 6–8
Peaches are naturally juicy and sweet … so they need very little added to them to be amazing! Take this basic recipe and experiment all summer — try adding a handful of raspberries … basil … even some grated ginger! Buy organic peaches for your health and the health of our planet … and ask the growers at your farmer's market whether they have any 'scratch and dent' peaches with bruises or other imperfections. Not only are they a fraction of the price of perfect peaches, they'll be the fruits that are ripe and ready to use when you get home!
Ingredients
- 6–10 medium scratch/dent (or other) peaches
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup whole oats
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup brown sugar OR 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- 1Heat oven to 375°F.
- 2Peel the peaches, remove any soft or bruised areas, and chop into about 4–5 slices per peach.
- 3Combine the peach slices with the lemon juice, coconut flour, and almond extract in a large bowl. Toss until the peaches are well coated.
- 4Put the peaches into a casserole dish or lasagna pan.
- 5Add the oats, almonds, walnuts, and coconut flakes in a processor and pulse to break up into a coarse but fairly even mixture. Be careful — don't over-mix or you'll wind up with nut butter!
- 6Put this mix in your bowl, add the coconut oil, brown sugar, and salt, and mix with a spoon.
- 7Place this mixture over the peaches.
- 8Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the peaches are bubbling and the topping is lightly browned.
- 9Top with greek yogurt or a small scoop of high-quality vanilla ice cream.
