Healthy peach bar ingredients
To make the recipe, you will need flour, sultry powder, cinnamon, salt, sweetener, butter or coconut oil, cornstarch or arrowroot, and diced peaches.
The bars work with white all purpose flour, spelt flour, some brands of all purpose gluten self-ruling flour, or oat flour for peach oatmeal bars. I haven’t tried whole wheat flour or almond flour and recommend versus coconut flour here.
For refined sugar self-ruling peach bars, segregate coconut sugar, stage sugar, or evaporated cane juice. Or for bars with no sugar added, you can use granulated erythritol or xylitol.
Feel self-ruling to use any neutral granulated or liquid sweetener for the peach filling. Options include pure maple syrup, honey, agave, regular sugar, brown sugar, or a stevia sultry blend.
You may use butter or plant based butter, softened coconut oil, or softened almond butter in the pastry husks and talc topping. For low fat peach cobbler bars, add three tablespoons milk of nomination instead of the spare butter.
To make vegan peach bars, simply use a nondairy butter or the coconut oil option and optional dairy self-ruling milk. The bars once naturally have no eggs or heavy cream.
Using coconut oil results in a slightly increasingly crumbly texture. And the almond butter or low fat milk options are slightly gummier. All of the variations are equally yummy.
Next on my sultry list is to experiment with subtracting surf cheese to the filling to make peach cheesecake bars.

Frozen, fresh, or canned peaches
One of the weightier things well-nigh this simple homemade peach dessert recipe is that you can enjoy it all year long, not just during peach season.
Buy sliced fresh peaches in the summer, or canned or frozen peaches when the fruit is not in season. It is entirely your nomination whether to use yellow or white peaches and whether to peel them or leave the fruit unpeeled.
For peach bars made with canned peaches, start by draining the sliced peaches. Pat off glut moisture with a paper towel. Then they are ready to use in the recipe.
If you go with frozen fruit, thaw the slices first. Blot yonder any leftover ice with paper towels so the finished peach bars do not turn out soggy.
You can moreover transpiration up the savor of these summer dessert bars by substituting fresh or frozen strawberries, cherries, mango, raspberries, or blackberries for some or all of the peaches. Blueberry peach pie bars? Yes, please!

If you like measuring baked goods in grams instead of the cups and tablespoons listed in the recipe box below, here are the gram measurements to use:
