Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, halved
- 1 cup gluten-free oats
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F).
- Wash the peaches thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Carefully slice the peaches in half and remove the pits.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine gluten-free oats, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Add melted coconut oil and maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture becomes a crumbly, moist topping that holds together slightly.
- Lightly brush the peach halves with a small amount of coconut oil to prevent sticking and enhance grilling.
- Place peach halves cut-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the peaches begin to caramelize.
- Flip the peaches and immediately sprinkle the prepared oat topping over the grilled surface of each peach half.
- Continue grilling for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the topping to slightly crisp and the peaches to become tender.
- Remove from grill and let cool for 2-3 minutes. The topping should be golden and the peaches soft and slightly charred.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with a small drizzle of additional maple syrup or a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
Tips
- Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best grilling results. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be mushy.
- Ensure your grill is properly preheated to achieve those beautiful caramelization marks without burning the fruit.
- Use a light touch when brushing peaches with coconut oil to prevent excessive flare-ups on the grill.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger to your topping mixture.
- If you don't have an outdoor grill, a cast-iron grill pan works perfectly for indoor preparation.
- Serve immediately after grilling to enjoy the contrast between the warm, crispy topping and the juicy peaches.
- For a more decadent presentation, pair with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or a coconut whipped cream.
