Preparation

  3. Add coconut sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch to the peaches and toss until coated. Transfer to the baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine oats, oat flour, coconut sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix until a crumbly texture is achieved.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the peach filling.
Baking
