Easy Peach Crisp for Two! This vegan peach crisp is perfect for summer nights when you want an easy dessert without a lot of effort. Serves two!
Dessert for two? YES PLEASE. I’m currently in the phase of my life where I love dessert. I spent a good chunk of my early 20’s proudly refusing after-dinner treats. Too much sugar, too many calories, too much enjoyment. I was far more content in how I looked than what I needed.
And then? I stopped. I found my happy weight and realized that life really is too damn short to not enjoy dessert. A good friend and I were talking about this last week; the nurturing season of life that happens after you become a mom. I used to push myself so hard. I pushed myself physically, driving to the next best thing over and over again, even if it left me completely exhausted.
I’m rarely there these days. I’m so much softer, gentler with myself. I still love my vegetables and try to eat mostly plant-based, but I order pizza (often) and eat dessert (even more often). And I don’t care. Or, rather, I do these sans guilt. It’s so incredibly freeing and I feel very lucky that I found this place relatively early in life.
So let’s eat this peach crisp on a Monday night. Let’s live a little! Serves just two and takes mere minutes to put together.
I hope you are finding peaches as good as I am right now. I took Vander peach picking last weekend and we’ve been feasting on them ever since. You know it’s a good peach when the juice won’t stop running down your chin.
Since these easy peach crisps are only lightly sweetened, the better the peach, the better the dessert.
Peel (if you want) and slice the peaches, then place them in the bottom of a ramekin. Top with a quick mix of flour, oats, butter and baking powder and bake.
It goes without saying that this tastes even more amazing a la mode. Warm peach crisp with ice cold vanilla ice cream — It doesn’t get much better than this.

So happy I found this recipe! I made it a few weeks ago and my son has been begging me to make it again. So, I’m getting started right now! My ramekins must be a bit small as the peaches overflowed a bit last time so today I am using one large ramekin instead. Hopefully, my son will share!
