The peaches are ready and they are so good this year! One of our favorite desserts in the past was always some sort of fruit crisp. My husband was recently diagnosed with Diabetes and I have my own diet restrictions so I wanted to try to take an old favorite and make it a little bit healthier and not quite so high in sugar. This recipe is also Gluten Free and Dairy free for an added bonus. You can add any kind of fruit and it’s quick and easy to make!
What you need:
6 cups of sliced peaches or other fruit
1 cup gluten free oats
3/4 cup almond meal
1/2 cup of coconut sugar (more if fruit is sour)
1 Tablespoon of cinnamon
1/2 cup of coconut oil
1/2 cup chopped pecans
What you do:
Pour sliced fruit on the bottom of a 9X13 pan.
In a bowl combine oats, almond meal, chopped pecans and coconut sugar.
Cut in coconut oil to resemble course crumbs. Pour evenly over fruit.
Sprinkle cinnamon over the mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately an hour or until brown on the top.
Serve warm and Enjoy!
Is there any reason why you couldn’t use honey instead and also…do you know how much honey you would use instead of coconut sugar? I’m thinking it might be runnier if I used honey.
Hi Dana! The only reason I could see not to use it would be that it may make it a little harder to obtain a crunchier crust on the top and it may be a little bit soggy. If that doesn’t bother you I would go for it. I might put just a little bit less honey to compensate for the extra moisture over the coconut sugar. I love honey!
