There’s nothing quite like the comforting taste of peaches baked under a golden, crispy oatmeal topping. This easy, wholesome dessert brings together the sweetness of ripe peaches and the crunch of oats — a perfect balance of comfort and nutrition. Whether served warm with a scoop of yogurt or enjoyed on its own, this recipe is a cozy treat you’ll want to make all year round.

Ingredients

For the filling:

4 cups fresh or frozen peaches (peeled and sliced) 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (for thickening) ½ teaspoon cinnamon

For the crispy oatmeal topping:

1 cup rolled oats ½ cup whole wheat flour or almond flour ⅓ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon salt ½ cup cold butter or coconut oil (cut into small cubes) ¼ cup chopped nuts (optional – pecans or walnuts add a nice crunch)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Prepare the peach filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with honey, lemon juice, vanilla, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Spread evenly into your prepared dish. Make the oatmeal topping: In another bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the butter or coconut oil with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in nuts if desired. Assemble and bake: Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the peach filling. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy and the peach juices are bubbling. Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with Greek yogurt, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of almond butter for an extra treat.

Nutri Yemi Tip

Peaches are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, while oats provide heart-healthy fiber. For a lighter version, swap butter for coconut oil and reduce the sugar — the natural sweetness of peaches will shine through.

Perfect for breakfast or dessert, this Crispy Oatmeal Peach Topping recipe is a delicious way to enjoy the flavors of summer with a nutritious twist.
