Healthy Peach Crumble
Healthy? YES HEALTHY. There is no refined sugars, oil or gluten in this peach crumble. It is made with 100% whole foods! You may be thinking…ok alexa, then how is this even dessert? When it comes to desserts I typically go all in. I think its important to treat our selves with a decedent, not so healthy dessert …as long as it’s vegan. Although SOMETIMES I am able to make a dessert that is SO delicious yet HEALTHY. THANK GOD. Dessert without guilt is the the BEST.
So peach season in California is during the summer. As summer is coming to an end I knew I had to perfect this recipe ASAP to give all my Californians a chance to enjoy this bomb dessert before the peaches leave us! If you’re reading this and we are not in peach season, that is okay! You can use apples or even a mix of berries! In the past I have spiced up the peaches by making it a “peach filling” as you would for a pie, where I sautéed the peaches in a concoction of spices and sugars… Although I have learned that there really is no need for that. When you have a sweet, ripe and flavorful peach it can stand alone! So seriously you guys, it is as simple as chopping up the peaches & THAT IS IT as far as the filling goes!
As for this crumble. OH BOY it is so good. Dates and oats work so well together. Traditional crumbles have loads of butter and while we could have used vegan butter…a little combination of nut and coconut butter can do the job just fine! Remember goal is to make this so healthy we can acceptably eat it for breakfast… hehe.
So lets talk about that generous, luscious ice cream scoop on top of the crumble (I used one of my FAVORITE non dairy ice creams Nadamoo vanilla bean). Is that healthy too? hmmm complex question… I would say miles healthier then dairy ice cream but does not necessarily fall under the “whole foods”, healthy, clean, whatever you want to call it umbrella. But hey! balance? Maybe compromise a scoop of ice cream since the crumble is healthy! or just leave it out, OR make your own “nice cream”. Whatever your heart desires, enjoy every bite!
