Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (50g) almond flour
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups (about 600g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup (75g) rolled oats
- 1/3 cup (65g) packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup (45g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
- Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract until crumbly dough forms. Press evenly into the bottom of the pan.
- Bake crust for about 15 minutes until lightly golden.
- Prepare the peach filling: Toss sliced peaches with brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
- Make the oat crumble topping: Mix rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter pieces with a pastry cutter or fingers until crumbly but holds when pinched.
- Remove crust from oven. Spread peach filling evenly over crust, then sprinkle oat crumble topping over peaches.
- Bake again for 30-35 minutes until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
- Cool bars completely in pan on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain excess liquid to avoid soggy bars. Let bars cool completely before slicing to ensure filling sets properly. Chilling the oat crumble topping before baking helps it hold shape. Peeling peaches is easier by dipping in boiling water for 30 seconds. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil.
