Got ripe peaches? Run, don’t walk, to your kitchen to make this super easy gluten free peach crisp for breakfast ASAP! Gluten free or not, this is simply the best peach crisp recipe made with simple ingredients, plus it’s healthy to boot!

Not breakfast time? It’s ok if you make this gluten-free peach crisp for an afternoon snack or a summer dessert too! Or lunch. Or dinner. I’ve got you covered!

Trying to be much better about cutting back on food waste, I made this gluten free peach crisp for breakfast last Friday on a whim.

You see, I had discovered the “not quite ripe” peaches I bought on Monday, and had placed in a bag on the counter, had suddenly ripened in all their juicy glory.

They were *almost* past their prime, so what better way to salvage them from a trip to the trash can than to turn them into a delectable “dessert for breakfast” meal. This is such a great recipe that’s a real crowd pleaser, and a healthier option to traditional peach crisps or gluten-free peach crumble.

This Easy Peach Crisp is completely acceptable to eat for breakfast, especially when you top it off with yogurt! | Recipe @thespicyrd www.eastewart.com

How to make gluten free peach crisp. It’s so easy!

  4. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes and serve right away, OR you can quickly prep these ahead of time and reheat them in the oven or microwave the following day for a super quick breakfast.

Easy Ingredient Swaps & Recipe Notes

  • Swap sweet peaches with any fruit of your choice. For summer, other stone fruit, such as nectarines, plums, or apricots, would be delicious in this gluten free peach crisp recipe!
  • Chia seeds add nutrition and help thicken the fruit, but they are optional. So, feel free to omit if you don’t have them on hand.
  • Tapioca starch can be replaced with arrowroot starch.
  • Maple syrup can be swapped with honey. Other sweetener options include coconut sugar or brown sugar. Or, for a lower sugar version, try Lakanto Baking Monkfruit Sweetener.
  • Brown rice flour, almond flour, almond meal, oat flour, sweet rice flour, or any other gluten-free flour can be used in place of sorghum flour. Note: If you’re not following a gluten free diet, you may use whole wheat or all purpose flour.
  • Try cinnamon or cardamom instead of ginger. Add vanilla extract if desired.
  • You can replace virgin coconut oil with high oleic expeller pressed sunflower oil, olive oil, melted vegan butter (i.e., Earth Balance or Melt), or even regular butter.
  • Are you feeling indulgent? Top with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for a healthy yet tasty dessert!
  • I make my peach crisp in individual ramekins, but you can bake it all together in an 8 or 9-inch baking dish.
