A quick and wholesome no-bake dessert featuring fresh peaches and a crunchy oat topping, perfect for summer gatherings and busy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, peeled and diced (or canned peaches packed in juice, drained)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats preferred)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute with almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Greek yogurt or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice 3 large peaches into bite-sized pieces. Toss gently with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour in 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter and stir until crumbly but holds together when pressed.
  3. Spoon a generous layer of the peach mixture into the bottom of cups or jars. Top each with a thick layer of the oat topping. Press lightly to adhere without compacting.
  4. Place assembled cups in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to let flavors meld and topping firm up. Chill longer or overnight for a more set texture if desired.
  5. Before serving, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream on top and drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy texture. Drain excess juice from peaches if very juicy to prevent soggy bottoms. Press oat topping gently to keep it crunchy. Chill at least 10 minutes before serving. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and serve with coconut whipped cream or dairy-free yogurt. Gluten-free option available by using almond or oat flour and certified gluten-free oats. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days; stir gently before serving to restore crunch. Peach filling can be frozen separately for up to a month.
