Peach Crisp Made With Frozen Peaches
If you make this with frozen peaches, be sure to let them thaw completely before you make the crisp.
When I used frozen peaches, they took around three hours to thaw out to room temperature.

Diagnosed with Celiac Disease
I started creating healthy dessert recipes when I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1998, during the Dark Ages of gluten free.
At that point, following a gluten free diet became critical.
Over the years, I’ve learned how important eating low carb is as well, given that celiac and diabetes ride on the same gene –having one increases the likelihood of having the other.
Easy Gluten Free Recipes
This is also why I started following a grain free diet, a couple of decades ago. Almond flour and coconut flour make up the base of my easy gluten free recipes. No corn, potato, or rice flour here!
Recipes with Almond Flour
After testing just about every gluten-free flour available, I can save you a lot of time and hassle when I say that almond flour is far superior to most other gluten free flours in terms of:
- Taste
- Ease of Use
- Nutrition
Easy Recipes for Gluten Free Desserts
And this crisp is another one of my easy recipes for gluten free desserts made with almond flour.
It also has even less added sweetener than the usual peach crisp, with only one tablespoon of maple syrup in the entire recipe.
Recipes for Healthy Desserts with Fruit
Yes, you can have your cake and eat it too! This is important when dessert is your favorite part of the meal and you don’t believe in deprivation.
That’s why I’ve created so many dessert recipes that are easy and healthy.

Apple Crisp Recipe Easy
When I create a recipe, saving time in the kitchen is essential, but preparing delicious and nutritious recipes for my family is just as important.
My Apple Blackberry Crisp can be assembled in 10 minutes!
It’s made with apples, blackberries, lemon juice, and vanilla, then finished off with a high protein almond flour crumble topping, sweetened with a touch of maple syrup.
The boys used to say, mom, would you make us a apple crisp recipe when they were little, and I would chuckle as they fumbled adorably for the proper article while making their request.
Now they’re all grown up and still ask for apple crisp when they come home to visit!
Looking for a sugar free tart apple dessert that is best served a-la-mode? Try my Granny Smith Apple Crisp made with granny smith apples, almond flour, ground cinnamon, and xylitol.
Recipe for Berry Crisp
Bursting with low carb fresh strawberries, my healthy sugar-free Strawberry Crisp is a great keto dessert.
This is a truly simple recipe made with 5 ingredients, where your oven does most of the work.
While baking the strawberries, use your food processor to pulse together the low carb, gluten free topping made with almond flour, slivered almonds, salt, and shortening or butter.
Recipes for Plum Jam
Luscious homemade jam is fruit at its finest. My Sugar Free Plum Jam Recipe cooks down the whole fruit with water, lemon juice, and stevia. Nothing more!
It’s full of fiber, loaded with a healthy dose of vitamin C, and bursting with tart flavor.
I love serving Sugar Free Plum Jam on top of toasted Keto Bread smothered in ghee.

Lori Smanski says
This looks wonderful. I will have to try this soon. Hmmm maybe with cherries. Thanks for desserts that have little sweetener, especially artificial sweeteners.
Pam says
This looks fabulous! Thanks for sharing.
Val says
Thanks soooo much, Elana for developing some dessert recipes using little to no sweetener! Hope to see lots more.
Tami says
Hello Elana-
I often read your recipes and have forwarded them to friends who are very appreciative. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered you have MS. Me too. Would you be willing to chat privately about nutrition?
VERB @ SpicyPimpsRadio says
Can I use some other kind of flour? I have a nut allergy.
Michelle says
Try sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds ground into flour in a coffee grinder or high-powered blender instead of the almond four. I’ve used pumpkin seed flour in Elana’s pumpkin bread, and it worked beautifully.
VERB @ SpicyPimpsRadio says
Thanks, Michelle!
Gwen says
Works great with oatmeal
LynnW says
That’s exactly how I make it, adjusting your original recipe! The almond flour is so sweet to begin with, I kept cutting the maple syrup every time I made it, and now add just a dab mostly for flavor! No organic peaches available without driving to the big city, so making a variation with pears and apples tonight! Our family & friends love this recipe, and it’s great for dutch oven cooking, too, at home or camping! Glad to hear of your successes in cutting the sweetness!
cc says
Oh I was wondering about doing this in a dutch oven while camping. We are going this weekend and I will try this in our cast iron dutch oven. Thanks!

Hi Elana!
I love your recipes and I bought both your books. I try to PIN your website recipes to Pinterest but none of them will pin. Is this on purpose or a glitch? Thanks so much for your wonderful recipes.
Vickilynn Haycraft says
Ooops, I meant both of your almond flour books!
Deborah Gullett says
If you pin from the link posted on her Facebook page it works just fine!
Jenna says
Amen, I love all of Elana’s fabulous recipes. I keep them in my email until I pin them. Unfortunately, every time I try to pin them it says that the picture is not a valid image.
