  • 2/3 cup spelt, white, or oat flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup sugar unrefined if desired
  • 3/4 cup butter, coconut oil, or almond butter
  • 3 tbsp milk of choice or additional butter
  • 2 1/2 cups diced peaches (360g)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or sweetener of choice

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F. Stir the first five ingredients. Cut in the butter or stir in the oil. If using oil or unsalted butter, add an additional 1/4 tsp salt. Press about two thirds of the dough very firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Toss the peaches with the cornstarch and liquid sweetener. Spread over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining dough evenly over top, and press down firmly. Bake 50 minutes. Let cool before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep your Peach Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
  • Freezing: These bars can be frozen for up to three months. Just ensure they are well wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
  • Pairing: Serve your Peach Bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
  • Variations: Experiment by adding nuts or oats to the crust for a different texture.
  • Serving Warm: A warm slice of Peach Bars with ice cream is a heavenly summer treat!
