Healthy Single Serve Peach Crisp (vegan & gluten-free!)

By
single serve peach crisp dessert in a bowl with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I’m a dessert kinda girl. Like needs a little something sweet every after meal, going out to eat and convincing the person next to me to split the chocolate cake, and there’s no way I’m falling asleep without a sweet treat before bed. I mean, take a look around – we’ve got healthy gluten-free mug cakes, 5-ingredient gluten-free cookie dough, and healthy no-bake snickers. I think it’s pretty obvious I might be a little dessert-obsessed… just a little!

While chocolate-forward desserts are my personal favorite, I do occasionally crave something fruity. But because my fruit dessert cravings don’t last long enough to finish an entire fruit crisp or cobbler, I had to figure out way to make a single serve dessert instead. And that’s exactly what I did here! A whole, fresh, juicy summer peach sliced in half then stuffed with a simple 4-ingredient oat crisp. Best enjoyed warm with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream – YUM!

What You’ll Need to Make This Recipe

Fresh Peach – Choose a ripe, juicy peach for the best flavor! You can find these at your local farmers’ market or grocery store. Peaches are in season and taste their best from June through August.
Rolled Oats – Use gluten-free oats if you need to ensure the recipe is gluten-free. Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free oats are my personal favorite, I love to buy in bulk!
Almond Flour – Almond flour adds a nice nutty flavor and keeps the recipe gluten-free. You can find this at most grocery stores or online. I also purchase almond flour in bulk, Anthony’s organic almond flour is my fave.
Butter or Coconut Oil – Coconut oil is perfect for a vegan option, but butter also works great in this single serve dessert recipe! Use whichever you prefer/have on-hand.
Maple Syrup – This natural sweetener adds a rich flavor to the crisp. Look for pure maple syrup for the best results, or use honey instead if you’d like.

Adjust This Recipe to Your Dietary Needs

Make it Vegan: For a vegan peach crisp, use coconut oil instead of butter.
Make it Paleo/Grain-Free: Substitute rolled oats with additional almond flour.

Tips and Tricks

  • For the best flavor, ensure your peach is ripe and juicy. A ripe peach will slightly give when gently pressed.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your sweetness preference. For an sugar-free dessert, leave out the maple syrup altogether!
  • Pair the warm peach crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped coconut cream for an extra treat!

    4 Ingredient Peach Cobbler (gluten-free!)

    By
    4 ingredient peach cobbler in a pie dish with two scoops of vanilla ice cream on top.

    I made this 4 ingredient peach cobbler for Father’s Day last weekend and let me tell ya, it was a HUGE hit! I even made it gluten-free (see note below), and no one could taste the difference. Now it doesn’t take much scrolling around here to realize that I’m a huge fan of few-ingredient desserts. I’m talkin’ 4 ingredient banana bread, 5 ingredient healthy cookie dough, and 6 ingredient mug cakes. So ya, I’d say this 4 ingredient peach cobbler fits perfectly into that lineup!

    What You’ll Need to Make This Recipe

    Fresh Peaches: You’ll need 5-6 large fresh peaches, sliced. Fresh peaches provide the best flavor and texture, but you can also use frozen or canned peaches as an alternative.

    Sugar: You can use regular sugar, or swap it for coconut sugar or monkfruit sweetener for a healthier option.

    Self-Rising Flour: Use 1 cup of self-rising flour to create the cobbler topping. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can use all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder added.

    Butter: You’ll need ½ cup of melted butter for a rich and flavorful topping. For a dairy-free alternative, substitute with vegan butter or coconut oil.

    Types of Peach to Use

    • Fresh peaches are ideal for the best flavor and texture. Simply peel, slice, and they’re ready to go.
    • Frozen peaches are a great alternative when fresh peaches are out of season. Thaw and drain them before using.
    • Canned peaches are convenient and work well in this recipe. Make sure to drain them thoroughly before adding to the pan, and leave the sugar out of the filling since canned peaches are already sweetened.

    Adjust This Recipe to Your Dietary Needs

    A healthy fruit crisp loaded with fresh summer fruits! The perfect warm-weather dessert, best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Super easy to make with just one bowl, in 30 minutes.

    What You’ll Need to Make Summer Fruit Crisp

    Summer Fruit – I used fresh blueberries, strawberries, and peaches in my summer fruit crisp, but any fruit will work! Feel free to use whatever you have on-hand, or whatever’s on sale at the grocery store that week. The only thing to note is, whichever fruit you use, make sure it totals to about 5-6 cups for this recipe.

    Maple Syrup – This healthy dessert recipe is sweetened with maple syrup! It’s refined sugar-free and honestly so healthy you could get away with eating it for breakfast.

    Rolled Oats – Any type of rolled oats will do – old-fashioned, quick cook, etc. The only type of oats you’ll want to avoid for your fruit crisp topping are whole oats, steel-cut, or Irish oats.

    Almond Flour – The almond flour keeps this recipe gluten-free! However, if you don’t have almond flour, or want to make this nut-free, you can replace the almond flour with all purpose flour.

    Butter or Coconut Oil – Use whichever you prefer in your crisp! I typically just use whichever I have on-hand. Coconut oil is obviously the healthier option, but butter adds a bit more flavor, which I love.

    Tips and Tricks

    • Keep this recipe simple! You’ll only need one bowl, which is used to first mix together the filling, then the crisp. There’s no need to dirty any extra dishes for this healthy dessert recipe.
    • This summer fruit crisp is best served warm with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream on top. Though feel free to serve it however you’d like. On its own is delicious, or with a dollop of fresh whipped cream – yum!
    • Store leftover fruit crisp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. If enjoying leftovers, I recommend reheating in the microwave for just about 30 seconds before eating.

    Adjust This Recipe to Your Dietary Needs

    Make it Dairy-Free: Use either non-dairy butter, or take the coconut oil option in the crisp.

    Make it Nut-Free: For a nut-free dessert, replace the almond flour with 1/2 cup of all purpose flour.

    What You’ll Need To Make Peach Crisp

    Peaches – Use fresh, not frozen peaches for this easy crisp recipe! Slice each peach in half, remove the pit, then slice them into 1/4-inch pieces. Either leave the skin on or peel them before slicing, it’s up to you!

    Corn Starch – Corn starch, arrowroot starch, or tapioca starch will all work in the filling of this recipe. A tablespoon of either thickening agent will help the filling stick together.

    Rolled Oats – Any type of rolled oats will work! The only oats you should avoid are steel-cut and/or Irish oats. Or, for a paleo version of this recipe, replace the oats with extra almond flour and chopped nuts!

    Tips and Tricks

    • Let the peach crisp cool for 5-10 minutes before serving! This’ll give the filling enough time to set, and prevent those peach juice from running out when served. Also, don’t forget to serve it with a big ole’ scoop of cold vanilla ice cream – it’s simply the BEST!

    Adjust This Recipe To Your Dietary Needs

    Make it Paleo: For a paleo fruit crisp, use arrowroot starch instead of corn starch in the filling, and replace the rolled oats with an extra 1/4 cup almond flour plus 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.

    Make it Gluten-Free: This recipe is already gluten-free! However, to ensure no traces of gluten in your peach crisp, be sure to use a gluten-free certified corn starch as well as gluten-free certified rolled oats.
