BHA & BHT Free Peach & Coconut Crumble
Juicy summer peaches bubbling beneath a golden, coconut-laced crumble is the kind of dessert that makes everyone hover near the oven. Fresh peaches are tossed with honey, lemon juice, arrowroot starch, and warm spices before getting blanketed in a rustic topping built from cassava flour, shredded coconut, and coconut oil — every single ingredient is whole and unprocessed, with no synthetic preservatives hiding anywhere in the mix. That matters more than it might seem, because BHA and BHT show up in a surprising number of packaged baking mixes, shelf-stable oils, and even some spice blends, making store-bought crumbles a minefield. Starting from scratch with fresh fruit and pantry staples you can actually read the labels on is the cleanest way around that problem. The cassava flour keeps the topping light and slightly crisp, while the coconut adds a subtle tropical sweetness that pairs beautifully with the ginger and Ceylon cinnamon running through both the filling and the crumble. A short rest after baking lets the arrowroot-thickened filling settle into something jammy and spoonable rather than soupy. Serve it warm on its own or alongside whatever clean, additive-free accompaniment you love most.
