Growing up, we had the most magical nectarine tree in our backyard. Every summer, I would stuff myself silly with nectarines. We also had plum trees and boysenberry bushes, so fruit crips were my family’s go-to summer dessert.
Whether you go team peach or team nectarine, this gluten-free peach crisp with oats is the easiest way to bring summer sunshine to your tableโdessert, breakfast, or anytime!
Why you’ll love this gluten-free peach crisp recipe
๐ Ingredients, Swaps, & Additions
- Peaches (or Nectarines!) Juicy, ripe peaches are the star, but nectarines, plums, or apricots work great too. No fresh fruit? Use frozen!
- Chia Seeds โ For fiber, omega-3s, and a natural thickener.
- Gluten-Free Grains โ Gluten-free rolled oats, combined with a mix of sorghum flour and tapioca starch, make the crisp topping sing. Swap with almond flour or your fave GF flour blend.
- Vegan Butter โ Earth Balance is my go-to, but avocado oil works well too.
- Maple Syrup โ Just a hint for natural sweetness. Swap with honey or try monk fruit sweetener for a lower-sugar version.
- Ginger (or Spice it Up) โ Ground ginger brings warmth and pairs perfectly with peaches. Sub with cinnamon or cardamom for extra cozy vibes.
- Greek Yogurt (Optional) A perfect protein add-on for breakfast and creaminess.
- Other Add-Ins โ Mix with blueberries or other fruit. Feeling indulgent? Top it off with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
How to make a gluten-free peach crisp
- Make the filling. Combine peach slices with chia seeds, tapioca flour, maple syrup, and spices. Place in individual ramekins or in an 8โor 9-inch baking dish.
- Make the crisp topping. Mix the gluten-free oats and sorghum flour with maple syrup and melted vegan butter in a bowl. Top the peach filling with the crumble.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Enjoy while it’s warm.
- Optional: Serve with yogurt for a healthy peach crisp or top with whipped cream or ice cream for a more indulgent version.
Meal Prep & Storage
Make your gluten-free peach crisp ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave before serving. I LOVE leftovers for breakfast the next day!!
