Need a dessert that screams summer? Don’t want to perform voodoo on a brownie so it can literally scream? Then put that sacrificial goat down and pick up some peaches to make this healthy Peach Crisp!
This dessert tastes decadent, but it’s actually good for you. The crisp is packed with healthy carbohydrates from the oats and satiating fats from the nuts and nut butter. This is layered on top of warm, gooey peaches filled with fiber and vitamins. A truly delicious match made in refined sugar free heaven. It’s so good for you, I wouldn’t blame you for having it for breakfast (and lunch and dinner. I know I have).
Speaking of breakfast, this peach crisp makes the perfect make ahead option. It couldn’t be easier to make. All you have to do is toss the crisp ingredients in a bowl, throw it over some sliced peaches and bake! In half an hour, your house will smell like you live in a peach pie. Make a big batch on Sunday to reheat throughout the week. I’d recommend reheating in the oven as it helps to make the top crispy again, but the microwave will work in a pinch!
Before serving, I like adding a dollop of Greek yogurt for a bit of protein. If you’re feeling a bit decadent, add a swirl of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream and dig in!
