We're just one step closer to Fall {doing my happy dance!}. And even though summer is wrapping up, we can still enjoy the tastes of summer. What better way to say goodbye than with this healthy peach crisp.
I know National peach month was last month, but who says all peach recipes HAVE to be made in August? Not me! Yes, I was always the rebel. Ok, well, maybe I still am a little bit of the rebellious type {smile}.
But really, National peach month is there to help bring awareness to this fuzzy yellow fruit. Like it really needs national awareness, but who am I to say?
I've known about peaches since I was a kid. That's...er...29some years ago for those wondering.
So really National peach month to me is eating all the peaches I can in one month. Oh, that's not what I'm supposed to do? Oops!
No I haven't been eating all the peaches I can this last month. There might have been a day or two I missed because I ran out of them!
But really, if I could, I would eat a peach every day just like that saying, "Eat a peach a day helps keep the doctor away." What? That's not a peach a day?! I would much rather have a peach every day than an apple. No offense apple lovers because your season is coming up here soon enough.
Since it is still summer, I'm going to give peaches another chance to shine in this healthy peach crisp.
No refined sugar or butter here. Just a lot of peaches, a little honey, cinnamon, oats, coconut, and pecans making up most of the ingredients in this recipe.
It can be considered paleo friendly if you don't top it with ice cream and caramel sauce like I did here. Now I know what you're thinking, but before you let those words slip out of your mouth, that's a no sugar added ice cream and paleo friendly caramel sauce.
Thank you very much!
