In fact, it’s such a breeze of a dessert that my boys used to make it when they were in grade school, and I loved that they were baking, and eating, good food.

Peach Crisp Recipe with Fresh Peaches
I prepare this recipe with luscious fresh peaches, but we have made it with frozen peaches too.
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.
My healthier Peach Crisp recipe is the perfect example of a great gluten free, grain free, low carb dessert that won’t leave you with a high carb hangover. Enjoy!

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.

Carol says
We made a peach crisp exactly like the recipe said. It was very yummy. So for Father’s Day dessert, my husband wanted an apple crisp. I added raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. It came out delicious. My son’s remark was it looked like a patriotic dessert with the red raspberries and the blueberries showing. We also added diced walnuts. Thank you for creating a delicious dessert.
Elana says
Carol, so glad that you and yours enjoyed the crisp!
Beth Gibbs says
Hi, Elana,
Hope you are doing well health wise! I am going to make this this weekend. I’ll let you know how I do. And many thanks for the tip about frozen peaches. For us busy folk, that’s a plus :-)
BTW – your book is a regular ‘go to’ in my single household. I am a true fan of the brownies and the Chicken Marbella.
Elana says
Thanks so much for your kind words Beth! So glad you are enjoying my book!

dear Elana, Your cook book called PALEO COOKING FROM ELANAS PANTRY is our bible. Both my husband and I are new to Paleo (into it 100% for six months now.) We both cook, we both food shop, we both study recipes. Your simply made PALEO BREAD and your RYE BREAD are our only breads. Been too hot to bake this week, but I get up early in the morning when it is cool and bake a loaf. It keeps beautifully in fridge wrapped well. It slices beautifully, it makes delicious toast. This the best. Your dill tartar sauce your mayo I could rave on and on. Thank you for all you do.
Elana says
Sandie, thanks so much for letting me know! I’m really glad you and your husband are enjoying my creations :-)
Brenda Gaines says
I just bought a box of peaches, I’d like to make some cupcakes and freeze them since I live alone. I looked in all three of your books for a peach cupcake recipe but they called for another fruit also, so I was glad to see this one, and I hope it works for cupcakes??
Nicole says
