Total Time 50 minutes
Yield 16 bars

Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 cup spelt, white, or oat flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup sugar, unrefined if desired
  • 3/4 cup butter, coconut oil, or almond butter
  • 3 tbsp milk of choice or additional butter
  • 2 1/2 cups diced peaches (360g)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, or sweetener of choice

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F. Stir the first five ingredients. Cut in the butter or stir in the oil. (If using oil or unsalted butter, add an additional 1/4 tsp salt.) Press about two thirds of the dough very firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Toss the peaches with the cornstarch and liquid sweetener. Spread over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining dough evenly over top, and press down firmly. Bake 50 minutes. Let cool before slicing into bars.
    The coconut oil version will be more crumbly, so I recommend chilling the peach bars before cutting, for cleaner slices.
