These Paleo Peach Crisp Bars are three layers of absolute HEAVEN. The base is soft and dense with a hint of coconut, the second layer is bursting with peaches, and the crumble topping is sweet and crispy! (Very similar to my Coffee Cake recipe, but I added shredded coconut.) I've always loved a good fruit crisp recipe, but my stomach isn't a fan of oats. This recipe is oat-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free! Perfect for anyone with food allergies. If you're looking for a lower sugar option, you can skip the added sugar in the peach layer, and swap out coconut sugar for Lakanto Monkfruit in the crust and crumble. I prefer using coconut sugar for my baked goods because it's lower glycemic and unrefined!

🍴 Ingredient Notes
- Almond Flour - I have not tested this recipe with any other flour. My favorite almond flour brands are Bob’s Red Mill, and Blue Diamond. Both have a finely ground blend that doesn’t come out clumpy! Make sure it’s almond FLOUR and not almond MEAL. They have completely different textures.
- Finely Shredded Coconut - I like to use finely shredded coconut, but any shredded coconut would work.
- Coconut Sugar - I have not tested with any other sugar, but I believe any granulated sugar would work for this recipe! My favorite sugar free sweetener is Lakanto Golden Monkfruit.
- Egg - I have not tested this recipe with an egg replacement.
- Melted Coconut Oil - You could swap for butter or ghee!
- Diced Peaches - You could use regular peaches, white peaches, or a combo of both!
- Coconut Sugar - You can also skip the sugar altogether - it depends how sweet you want it to be!
🍴 Step by Step Instructions
Making the Crust
- Start by adding all of your dry ingredients into a small mixing bowl. Blend with a fork or whisk until flour clumps are broken up, and the mixture is fully combined.
- Next add your egg, vanilla, and coconut oil into a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend until fully combined.
- Add your wet mixture into your dry mixture, and use a spatula or fork to blend. Eventually it will become very thick. Use your hands to mix until it forms a large dough ball.
Baking
- Use a medium sized square baking dish. Grease the dish with non-stick spray, or use a paper towel to spread coconut oil on the bottom. Then press your dough ball into the pan until it's even.
- Bake your crust at 350° for 5 minutes. While it cooks, you can prep your peaches and crumble topping!
Preparing the Peaches
- Rinse all of your peaches and dice them into small bite sized pieces. Once they're diced, add them to your measuring cup. (Make sure it's four cups.) 3-4 peaches usually yields four cups - depending on how big they are. Stir in your coconut sugar and salt, then set aside.
Crumble Topping
- For the crumble topping add your dry ingredients into a small mixing bowl. Use your whisk or fork to break up the clumps. Then slowly add your coconut oil and use a fork to blend until it becomes a crumbly consistency.
- Once the crust has baked, remove it from the oven and add your peach and crumble layer. Place it back in the oven to bake for another 40 minutes.
- When the bars are done baking, let them cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will give the crust plenty of time to set. Use a fork to gently remove each piece. ENJOY!
