Simple + Delicious Paleo Spring Dessert Recipe

Paleo Peach Almond Crisp

With summer just around the corner, the aroma of fresh (and local) peaches at the Farmer's Market inspired me to make this simple and delicious Paleo recipe this week. 

Whether you eat it for breakfast, a quick snack, or dessert, this Paleo Peach Almond Crisp is a healthy way to satisfy any sweet tooth!

Recipe: 

Hands-On Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes

Makes: 6-8 Servings

Ingredients:

·       Organic Peaches (x6)

·       Organic Lemon (x1)

·       Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour (x1 C)

·       Organic Medjool Dates (x10)

·       Organic Cinnamon (x1 tsp)

·       Organic Nutmeg (x1/2 tsp)

·       Himalayan Sea Salt (x1/4 tsp)

·       Organic Refined Coconut Oil (x1/4 C)

·       Organic Sliced Almonds (x1/2 C)

  

First, pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit:

Remove the pits from the peaches and chop them into small chunks:

Put the peach chunks into a large mixing bowl and zest one whole lemon into the bowl:

Next, cut the lemon in half and juice the entire lemon into the mixing bowl:

Use a spatula to stir the peach chunks, lemon zest and lemon juice together:

Next make the topping.  Tear the dates in half using your fingers and remove the pits:

Add the dates to the food processor, along with the almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and coconut oil:

Put the lid on your food processor and pulse to combine the ingredients.  The topping should be sticky, crumbly and oh so delicious! I highly recommend that you taste a little:

Pour your peaches from your mixing bowl into a medium size glass baking dish:

Use the back of your spatula to press down the peaches into an even layer:

Using your fingers, crumble the date mixture on top of the peaches:

Using a spatula, spread the date mixture evenly to coat the top of the peaches:

Pour the sliced almonds over the date topping:

Cover the baking dish in aluminum foil:

Bake for 30 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes:

Enjoy this treat on its own or with Paleo ice cream!
