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!

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.

I love creating healthy low carb desserts that I can feel good about serving to my family. And I love sharing them with you too! What’s next on your baking agenda?
This recipe for Peach Crisp With Almond Flour is an oldie but goodie from the archives. I first shared it in 2014.

I really love your recipes, but I’m surprised that you suggest using palm oil given the controversy surrounding it. As you probably know, the vast majority of palm oil is made from oil palm trees which are displacing 100s of endangered species, most prominently the orangutan. I’m just wondering if you’ve looked at alternatives?
Mallory says
Has anyone tried date paste in place of maple syrup? Or even coconut sugar? I have a really hard time with honey and maple syrup.
Janice says
This is my first time posting but I have a couple of your books and also look up information on your website. I am gluten intolerant so I do my best to find healthy recipes. My husband also has MS so I do my best to make sure he is getting healthy options, so I want to thank you for sharing all your wonderful recipes. I have used many of your recipes when we have company and they are surprised to find out they are so good for them!
I am making this recipe for dessert tonight, and can’t wait, I know my husband will love it too.
Amy says
First time poster. Tried this crisp tonight with apples instead of peaches. Added a little cinnamon and nutmeg, otherwise followed recipe exactly. Delicious and satisfying! Rave reviews from the family! Can’t wait to try some of your other recipes.

First time poster here. I have made the crackers (only I eat them), I’ve made the bars (another household member noshes a bit of them too), and last night I made this crisp with plain ol’ apples – sprinkled with cinnamon – and in the crumbs I added slivered almonds and pumpkin seeds for crunch. Suffice is to say, not a crumb is left this morning, and I was NOT the only one sneaking from it…..
THANK YOU!!!

Now this is a dessert I would happily make for my family. Just been looking for a gluten free recipe and came upon your site. What’s great about this recipe is that you could substitute the peaches for other fruits.
Janelle @ CVFN says
I’m a huge follower of your blog. I love how you can make the most delicious recipes using a small amount of simple ingredients! So user-friendly. Thank you for helping me keep trim! :)
Nadia says
Can I substitute honey instead of maple syrup?
Also I have can peaches instead of fresh one?
Elana says
Nadia, I haven’t tried that so not sure. Feel free to experiment and I hope you’ll let me know if it works :-)
Rachel says
From my husband who has had just about enough of the gluten-free alternative to the “real thing”: “That was delicious! It was so much better than I expected.” I have to say that I agree with him. Thanks for sharing a fantastic recipe, Elana!

This looks easy and tasty, plus we love all the sweets! To be honest, I didn’t know anything about gluten free food but my daughter’s gluten intolerance changed everything. The first steps were quite difficult – we tried many local restaurants to discover the new tastes and then searched for some new recipes. Unfortunately we just realized that some of the places we usually eat at are not 100 % gluten free (I don’t know what is the situation in Boulder but if you are interested, this is ours in Toronto) so I’m again focusing on collecting some new tips…
