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.

VaGF says
About how many peaches or cups (if I use another fruit) is 2 lbs? This looks great, can’t wait to make it!
Patricia Dorris says
I had that same question and decided that if it filled the pie plate I was using, it would be enough fruit.
Judy says
I have been using your Grain free Peach Crisp recipe for a while now for all my crisps. I’ve altered it a bit and use coconut oil (it’s what I usually have on hand) and sometimes also add chopped nuts for texture. My favorite combo is nectarine blueberry crisp. Aside from the yummy taste you do not have to peel the nectarines, which is a great time saver, especially if fatigue is a factor. One time I added chopped pecans to the topping; my guests really enjoyed it. Of all the GF crisp recipes I’ve tried yours is the best! I’m looking forward to trying this version too! Thanks for the recipes, Elana!
April says
So funny! I was thinking I would make something for dessert tonight with all the peaches I bought this week and here is a recipe from one of my favorite sites! Thanks for this. So many of the other recipes I found had at least 2 cups of sugar in them. Belch.
Katrina says
Sounds delish!
How would Coconut flour do in place of Almond flour? Just found out tree nuts is the root of my constantly runny nose…I’m bummed.
Jessica says
Love this recipe! The Colorado peaches are incredible this year- we’re on our fourth case already (we did can some though, hasn’t been ALL dessert!)
Brittany says
Love you to pieces… :)
You make me smile and always provide me that fantastic recipe that I have to make the very next day :)
Rebecca says
I made these the other day but going off your strawberry crisp recipe. I didn’t have any strawberries though, so I used apples and raspberries. It was a massive hit!!
Grace says
The recipes look great, but almond flour is so expensive, at least it is in Canada. A small bag of Bob’s Red Mill costs $13. Is it possible to post more recipes with coconut flour or “gluten free” flour? Thank you.
Sheila says
I’m in Canada as well, and find a better deal on almond flour at the Bulk Barn. Try searching there if you’re looking to cut costs
Dora says
I find the best deal for almond flour is at Costco. Huge bag (1.36 g) for $22.00. The name of the company is Sunblest.
Alice says
I purchase Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour at very good price from Costco Online; two (2) 3 lb bags (total 6 lbs.) for @52.99, that includes shipping and handling. That’s the best price I’ve found. And Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour works better for virtually all recepies calling for almond flour. Bob’s Red Mill is too coarse for many baked goods recipies.
heather says
you need to purchase at http://www.lucyskithcenshop.com BEST almond flour ever!
Holly says
Delicious! I used coconut oil instead of the butter or palm shortening and it was so good. Couldn’t wait long enough for it to cool properly and burned our tongues. Even better for breakfast this morning.
Bryan says
Simple and delicious, Thank you.
