These peach crumble bars are a simple, vegan, and gluten-free summer dessert featuring tender peaches and a crumbly oat topping with just enough sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (about 4 medium peaches)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine gluten-free oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well.
  3. Pour melted coconut oil over dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press 2/3 of the crumble mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine diced peaches, maple syrup, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until evenly coated and slightly thickened.
  6. Spread the peach filling evenly over the crust.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the peach filling without pressing down.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  9. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack for 1 to 1.5 hours to allow filling to set.
  10. Use the parchment overhang to lift bars from the pan and slice into 12 squares. Wipe knife between cuts for clean edges.

Notes

[‘Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy bars.’, ‘Press the crust firmly to help bars hold together.’, ‘Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.’, ‘Cool bars completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.’, ‘Substitute almond flour with oat flour for a nut-free version.’, ‘Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.’, ‘Coconut oil can be replaced with melted vegan butter or neutral oils.’, ‘Bars store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.’]
