The Best Gluten Free Peach Crisp
Your summer will be complete with this amazing gluten free peach crisp! Filled with sweet & juicy peaches, a buttery crisp topping, and then served warm with cold ice cream. This recipe is truly the best peach crisp I’ve ever had!
Say hello to this buttery, crispy, warm peach crisp that is anything but ordinary. It is made with all wholesome ingredients and is abundant in flavor! I’ve met a lot of crisp oat toppings in my days, but this one is easily my favorite and makes the whole dish. Your whole family will love this peach crisp and will for sure be running back for seconds!
Switch it up: Other than peaches, you can make this crisp recipe with any of your favorite fruits! Like Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, apples, or a mix of berries.
Ingredients – What You’ll Need
This recipe requires just a handful of ingredients and takes only minutes to prepare. For this recipe I used these 7 ingredients:
- Peaches: fresh juicy summer peaches – I keep the skin on but you can of course peel them too.
- Almond flour: super fine almond flour or almond meal works for this recipe!
- Oats: quick oats or whole oats will work.
- Vanilla extract: for flavor!
- Cinnamon: for a little spice.
- Vegan/regular butter: use regular butter if desired, or vegan butter to keep the recipe dairy-free.
- Coconut sugar: this is a natural unrefined sweetener that tastes exactly like brown sugar.
How to Make This Gluten Free Peach Crisp – Step by Step
- Slice peaches and lay in baking dish or cast iron skillet.
- Add all of your ingredients to a mixing bowl.
- Use a fork to mix crisp ingredients together – texture should be crumbly. Then sprinkle over peaches and bake for 40-45 minutes at 350F.
Tips for Success & Recipe Variations
- Make it vegan/dairy free: This recipe is simple and easily adaptable to be vegan-friendly. Swap butter for vegan butter or coconut oil. I recommend vegan butter because it tastes exactly like regular butter – you would never know the difference!
- Baking dish: For this recipe you can use either an 8-inch cast iron pan or baking dish. This recipe is not specific for cast iron pans. 🙂
- Make it nut free: Blend oats in a blender or food processor until “flour consistency” – use 1 cup of oat flour in place of almond flour.
- Sugar swap: Coconut sugar can be substituted for brown sugar as well.
- Add nuts: Add chopped almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts to crisp topping for extra crunch/texture if desired.
Reheating Tips
This is an important step because we all want to eat our crisp warmed up. You can either use a microwave for 30-45 seconds in a glass bowl. Or preheat oven to 350F and warm up for 10 minutes or until warm (this time can vary due to the amount of crisp you are heating up).

This is delicious; just pulled it from,the oven and had a ‘trial’ taste. Added 1 cup of frozen blueberries as I only had 3 large peaches.
Thanks for an excellent peach recipe.
I’m so sorry to hear that Lucia! I’ve not heard of any other reader that had that problem. My only thought is if frozen peaches were used, they could’ve had more moisture content in them.
This came out beautifully! So glad I tried it. Thank you! It’s wonderful by itself or with vanilla bean ice cream 🙂
Yay, really glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing, Celeste 🙂
Delicious! Not a bite was left!
So happy to hear it, Celeste!
So excited to make this!! exactly what i needed. i’ll definitely be coming back to this website! 🙂
I would rate it 6 stars if I could 🤪 I used peaches and strawberries and made it in a huge 15” cast iron skillet. What a crowd pleaser!!!
Thanks so much for your kind words, Judi! Really happy you enjoyed the recipe so much. 🙂
Can I use a gf baking flour or artisan flour instead of almond flour or oat flour?
I would use oat flour or GF baking flour! Hope you enjoy it!
I made this for breakfast and my boys practically licked the Pyrex dish clean! I didn’t have instant oats so just chopped old fashioned in the food processor. Added chopped pecans. It was like a peach granola bar. Delish!
haha I’m so happy they enjoyed it so much! Thanks so much, Sara!
Quite possibly the best I’ve ever made by far the easiest, and yummy!
I love to hear that! Thanks so much, Melissa!
May I keep it in fridge overnight to safe time next day
Yep that should work just fine!
Can I prep this ahead of time and then freeze it until I’m ready to bake? 😋
yes! That should work perfectly fine. 🙂
A friend brought this for dessert and everyone raved! That crumble topping mmmm.Best.Ever. ❤️
Ahhh so happy to hear it! Thank you, Jenny! 🥰
Easy to make. Wonderful to eat. Our friends enjoyed.
Could I bake this crisp in small mason jars?
Absolutely delicious! Thank you!
Amazing and delicious! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Thank you, Mina! You’re so welcome. Happy to hear you enjoyed it 🙂
This recipe came out awesome and everyone LOVED it last night at my party. After rereading the recipe now though, I noticed that you left the cinnamon out of the actual recipe. Haha. Oh well. It came out great and maybe even making it again tonight. Next time I’ll add some cinnamon.
Woops! Thanks for bringing that to my attention. 🙂 So happy to hear this recipe was such a success!
Do leftovers need to be refrigerated? Loved this recipe!!
So happy to hear that! And yes – refrigerate leftovers 🙂
Can you use drained canned peaches?
you can certainly try! Fresh peaches have a little bit more of a bite to them – canned peaches may be a little bit more soft.
I have made this a few times now & it’s amazing! I replace the sweetener with the same amount of local honey.
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you love it 🙂
I made it once with raw sugar in place of coconut sugar and it was delicious. My next go I used maple syrup and the crumble was a little mushy and didn’t crisp up. So for those looking for a crispier crumble, I’d suggest forgoing maple syrup as a substitute sweetener.
oh! Good to know with the maple syrup. I’ve had success in the past with other crisp recipes using maple syrup but it may just need to be baked longer. 🙂 So happy you like the recipe!
This recipe is a great summer dessert option, so delicious!
Thank you sarah! 🙂 So happy you enjoyed it!
Do you peel the peaches first?
I live the skin on, but you can peel them if preferred 🙂
Suggestions for a different type of pan to make this in? I don’t own cast iron. Thank you in advance
You can use any type of baking dish 🙂 It will work just the same.
Perfect timing because of all the fresh peaches I have. Made this tonight and it was so so good!
I’m so glad to hear! It’s truly delicious. 🙂
Yes – perfect for this time of year. Thank you, Helen!
lol, thank you camila! It’s so good!
Thank you, Stephanie!
Everything, everything, everything is fantastic about this recipe. Including that it’s a skillet recipe. Thanks so much!
