These Paleo Peach Crisp Bars are a delicious spin on the classic crisp recipe! They have a thick coconut crust, a layer of sweet peaches, and they're topped with a cinnamon sugar coconut crumble! The perfect healthy, nut-free, summer dessert!
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!
