Low-Sugar Vegan Peach Crisp

Grab 1 Bag of Frozen Peaches and Make This Low-Sugar Vegan Peach Crisp

19 November 2020 by Jenny Sugar

Sweet, warm, and juicy, this vegan peach crisp is a dessert recipe that came to be from my love of baking and my love of creating healthy, low-sugar, low-fat desserts that taste amazing! Sweetened naturally with peaches, chopped dates, applesauce, and a touch of maple syrup, this scrumptious dessert has under 16 grams of sugar per 236-calorie serving.

The taste alone should inspire you to whip up this plant-based dessert, but what's even better is that it's made from whole-food ingredients. It also takes under 10 minutes to prepare, and is even faster if you use frozen peaches.

If you love apple crisp, this recipe has half the sugar and is lower in calories and fat. The peaches are sweet enough — you won't even miss the sugar! This peach crisp tastes delicious on its own or served with a dollop of whipped coconut cream or homemade berry banana nice cream is sugar-free.
