Ingredients:

  • 6 cups (900g) fresh peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup (50g) coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1 cup (125g) whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) maple syrup
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5g) baking soda
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 3 tbsp (42g) melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, coconut sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the peaches to macerate and the juices to thicken.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading the slices evenly.
  4. In the same bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  5. Stir in the maple syrup, almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Spoon the batter over the peaches, either spreading it evenly or dropping it in dollops for a rustic look.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes until the topping is golden-brown and the fruit juices are bubbling.
