Barley Free Peach & Coconut Crumble
Juicy summer peaches bubbling beneath a golden, coconut-laced topping — this crumble is the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. The filling comes together with fresh peaches, a touch of honey, lemon juice, and arrowroot starch to create a glossy, jammy base that thickens beautifully as it cools. Cassava flour stands in as the crumble base, delivering that satisfying sandy, crumbly texture without any grain-based flour in sight, making it a genuinely safe choice for anyone avoiding barley and its relatives. Unsweetened shredded coconut adds chew and a subtle tropical note that pairs surprisingly well with the warm Ceylon cinnamon and ginger running through both the filling and the topping. Solid coconut oil gets worked into the dry ingredients until the mixture clumps into rustic, irregular pieces that bake up crisp and golden — no butter, no mystery ingredients, just clean pantry staples. A drizzle of honey binds it all together and caramelizes slightly in the oven for that irresistible crunch on top. Let it rest for ten minutes before serving and the filling will settle into something truly spoonable and special.
