I still can’t believe that we’ll have fresh peaches at the farmer’s market until early November. Its kind of crazy, but I cherish every minute of their presence. Since we literally buy them by the crate from my favorite purveyor, Tenerelli Orchards, I’m always trying to come up with new and delicious recipes for the entire family.
Most fruit crumble recipes have so much sugar it makes my teeth ache just thinking about it. This recipe has NO sugar and only calls for 1 tablespoon of my favorite kid friendly sweetener, agave nectar. Agave nectar is low on the glycemic index, so you can serve it after dinner and know your little one won’t be wired on sugar. This is also a perfect sweet dessert for the entire family since it’s super healthy and loaded with oats and flaxseeds giving it a nutty flavor.
Kenya especially liked having his own ramekin. After it cooled, I handed it to him and he gave me a big bright smile. It was like he just won the peach crumble grand prize (and he ate every last bite)!

Fruit Crisp (Makes 5 individual ramekins)

2 Ripe Peaches, diced (you could also substitute pears, apples, strawberries or other fruits in season)
1/3 Cup Oats
1 Tsp Flaxseed
1/4 Cup Flour
2 Tbsp Butter, chilled
1 Tbsp Agave Nectar

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Divide peaches evenly between 5 dishes.
3. In a mini food processor, combine the oats, flaxseed and flour.
Pulse to combine.
4. Add the butter and pulse until butter is in small pieces (you don’t want it to turn into a dough, so make sure to just pulse the ingredients).
5. Add the agave to the crumble and pulse once or twice, just to combine.
6. Place small clumps of the crumble on top of the ramekins.
7. Place the ramekins on a sheet tray and bake for 20-25 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and cool.
9. Serve.
