It’s totally ok if you make this gluten free peach crisp for an afternoon snack or dessert too!

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.

So, inspired by my favorite Apple Crisp, Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, and Oatmeal Chia Berry Crisp recipes, I whipped up this gluten free peach crisp in 20 minutes.

You can imagine my kids delight when I told them we were having dessert for breakfast!

How to Make a Peach Crisp. It’s so easy!

1. Prep your peach filling by slicing peaches and combining them with chia seeds, a little gluten free flour, a hint of sweetener, and spices.
2. Make the topping with gluten free oats & flour, a little more sweetener, and a dollop of coconut oil.
3. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes and serve right away, OR you can easily prep these ahead of time, and re-heat them in the oven or microwave the next morning, for a super speedy breakfast.

This Gluten Free Peach Crisp is super nourishing too!

• The chia seeds & gluten free oats add a delicious dose of prebiotic rich fiber and healthy plant based omega-3s.
• And, with 16 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per serving {if you top it off with Greek yogurt}, this peach crisp will keep your energy level humming all morning long!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

• ▢ 4 ripe peaches, seed removed, and cut into cubes
• ▢ 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• ▢ 1 tablespoon tapioca flour*
• ▢ 3 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup, divided
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
• ▢ 3/4 cup gluten free oats*
• ▢ 1/4 cup sorghum flour, or brown rice flour
• ▢ 2 tablespoons melted virgin coconut oil
• ▢ 2 cups yogurt , i.e. Greek, coconut, almond, soy~optional for serving

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place 4 ramekins or oven proof custard cups on a baking dish.
• Combine peaches, chia seeds, tapioca flour, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ground ginger, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine, and spoon mixture, divided equally, into ramekins/custard cups.
• Rinse out and dry mixing bowl. Add oats, sorghum flour, coconut oil, remaining maple syrup {2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons}, and 1/8 teaspoon salt to bowl. Stir well to combine, then divide mixture equally into 4 servings, and sprinkle on top of peaches.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until oat mixture is light golden brown. Remove from oven, and allow to cool 5 minutes before serving. Top each crisp with 1/2 cup yogurt if desired.

Notes

1. Feel free to omit tapioca flour from peach mixture if desired. It helps thicken the peaches a little, but is not essential.
2. May use regular oats if not following a gluten-free diet
3. May substitute sorghum flour with rice flour. Or, use all-purpose flour if desired for a non-gluten free version.
