If you’re looking for something warm, fruity, and just a little indulgent this Blackberry Peach Crisp is exactly what you need. It’s the perfect cozy breakfast (or dessert!) with juicy fruit, a golden oat topping, and that sweet crumble crunch in every bite. I love making this when peaches are in season and I want something quick, easy, and satisfying. Best part? You only need one bowl, one peach, and a handful of ingredients!

Method

1. Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s always best to do this first so it’s ready by the time your crisp is assembled. Use the middle rack position to make sure the topping bakes evenly without over-browning.

2. Make the Fruit Filling

In a small mixing bowl, combine your filling ingredients one chopped yellow peach, a handful of blackberries (fresh or slightly thawed if frozen), one tablespoon of maple syrup or honey, half a teaspoon of arrowroot starch (or cornstarch if that’s what you have), and a dash of cinnamon. Gently stir everything together, just enough to coat the fruit evenly in the syrup and starch mixture. Be careful not to mash the berries they should stay mostly whole so you get juicy bites in every spoonful.

3. Transfer Filling to Baking Dish

Once the filling is mixed, spoon it into a small oven-safe ramekin or baking dish. Use the back of your spoon to spread it out into an even layer so that the crisp topping bakes on top without sinking into the fruit.

4. Make the Crisp Topping

Using the same bowl (yay for fewer dishes!), add your crisp topping ingredients ¼ cup of rolled oats, 3 tablespoons of almond flour, 2 teaspoons of coconut sugar, a pinch of salt, a splash of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter or almond butter. Use a fork to mix and mash until the mixture becomes crumbly and slightly sticky. The nut butter will help bind everything together while adding richness to the topping.

5. Add Topping to Fruit

Now, take the crumbly oat topping and evenly distribute it over the fruit filling in the ramekin. Try to cover all the fruit so it crisps up nicely in the oven. You don’t have to press it down just sprinkle it gently so it stays light and crunchy.

6. Bake the Crisp

Place your ramekin into the preheated oven and bake for 10–15 minutes. Start checking around the 10-minute mark. It’s done when the top looks golden brown and the fruit is bubbling slightly around the edges. If your oven runs hot, you may want to rotate the dish halfway through to avoid uneven browning.

7. Let It Cool and Serve

Carefully remove the ramekin from the oven (it will be hot!) and let it cool for a few minutes. This helps the filling set a bit and prevents burning your tongue. Once it’s warm but not piping hot, you’re ready to dig in! Top it however you like with yogurt, ice cream, or just a spoon.

Ingredients

1 yellow peach, sliced or chopped
A handful of blackberries (fresh or frozen)
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
½ tsp arrowroot starch (or cornstarch)
Dash of cinnamon
Crisp Topping
¼ cup rolled oats
3 tbsp almond flour
2 tsp coconut sugar
Pinch of salt
Splash of vanilla extract
2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the filling chopped peach, blackberries, maple syrup, arrowroot starch, and a dash of cinnamon. Stir gently so you don’t crush the fruit.
Spoon the fruit mixture into a small oven-safe ramekin and spread it out evenly.
In the same bowl (less dishes yay!), combine the crisp topping ingredients oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, salt, vanilla, and peanut butter. Use a fork to mash and mix until it looks crumbly but holds together.
Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the fruit.
Bake for 10–15 minutes, checking around the 10-minute mark. It’s done when the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
Let it cool for a few minutes, then dig in!

Notes

Don’t skip the starch! It helps thicken the fruit juices so you don’t end up with a soggy crisp.
Keep an eye on it while baking every oven is different, and the topping can go from golden to burnt quickly.
If your peanut butter is super thick, warm it a little so it’s easier to mix with the dry ingredients.
Using frozen berries? Let them thaw slightly so they bake evenly.

Serving Suggestions

Top it with a dollop of Greek yogurt for a healthy breakfast.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream for dessert.
Sprinkle a few extra berries on top for extra freshness.
Great with a warm mug of tea or coffee!
