This simple vegan and gluten-free Healthy Peach Crisp only requires 8 ingredients and comes together in minutes! Whip it up for a tasty treat the whole family will adore.
What I have to tell you is that I did my 7th grade science project on how the size of the peach effects the size of the pit.
Or was it vice versa?
Either way, I basically studied one of the most unimportant facts of nature that there ever was. Who on God's green earth was I thinking I was helping by doing randomized trials on peaches and their pits?
To think I could've studied hummus or pine cones or precipitation or something that mattered even a LITTLE.
So to answer your unasked question, according to my 7th grade calculations, the size of the peach has absolutely no effect on the size of the pit.
Onto things that actually matter, like your taste buds. If you've made my Healthy Cherry Crisp, Blueberry Crisp, or Healthy Apple Crisp, you know I love me a crisp.
This peach crisp came about because I bought bags on bags of frozen peaches and I've had one too pieces of Peach Baked Oatmeal, if that's even possible. I mean we all know I'm a blueberry girl at heart.
It also came about because the other night I wanted dessert and I wanted it FAST.
I didn't want to get out the food processor and to be completely frank, I didn't want to spend more than ten minutes of my precious potential sleep time on chopping or mixing or sautéing anything that wasn't absolutely positively necessary.
Talk about high-maintenance!
This peach crisp is a real winner. It takes next to no time to throw it together, but it tastes like one of those sinfully delish there's-no-way-this-is-healthy-or-vegan-or-gluten-free dishes.
You could easily replace peaches with pretty much any fruit you fancy. But hey, then it wouldn't be a very peachy peach crisp now would it?

Hey girl, you say not to melt the coconut oil? But what if it's already melted due to extreme summer temperatures? :p Should I refrigerate it for a little while?
Tara says
fruit crisps are the best! this looks so easy to whip up on a random night when you want something sweet. I'll definitely try this soon! 🙂
Hilary says
Yum! This looks so easy, quick and delicious! I can't wait to try this out for a summer dessert!
Paul says
SPOILER ALERT!!
I remember the peach pit project well--I got the peaches from a generous local grocer , and you did the rest. We knew you had a future in food, health, and pit measuring!

Peachy keen, jelly bean! Sorry. Couldn't help myself. But I'd be more than happy to help myself to a few servings of this. And bonus points for being crazy easy to throw together. And being crazy healthy without even tasting like it. That's just begging for a scoop of ice cream to dirty things up a little 😉

I love peach crisp (and often add blueberries). Mmmm!
CakePants says
This looks awesome, and better yet, I've already got all the ingredients to make this! My middle school science experiment was whether kale grows better with warm or cold water. Except then I forgot to water them at all, so my conclusions were, "Plants grow better with water." Clearly, I was not meant to be a scientist.

Never say never!! Did I think I would pretty much be going Paleo and doing a Whole 30 next month? HECK NO. But stranger things happen... 😉
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Okay, one of the things I totally want to finally get around to making this summer is a fruit crisp! So lovely!
June @ How to Philosophize with Cake says
Wow that really is easy! Love how healthy this is too. With all that oatmeal it's basically breakfast food, eh? 🙂
Lauren says
I love peaches and crisps. I love how straightforward and easy this recipe is!
Laura says
Love the ingredients for the crumble topping! I know you said you can switch up the fruit based on what you have on hand, but what about using fruit or peaches that are not frozen?
Megan @ Straight From The Jar says
Love how simple this is! YUM.
Rin says
awwyess... i am going to use this to work through my abundant (or rampant) suppy of rhubarb. thx for the recipe!
Rachel @ athletic avocado says
peaches are the best this time of year, especially perfect for peach crisp like this 🙂 thanks for sharing!
Maryea {happy healthy mama} says
I've used fresh peaches for peach crisp and it's kind of a pain to get the skin off, so I think using frozen is a great idea! And I'm not going to lie, this is totally making me want dessert for breakfast!
