Eggless Peach & Coconut Crumble
Warm, bubbling peach filling beneath a golden, coconut-laced crumble — this dessert is the kind of thing that makes people hover near the oven waiting for it to come out. Fresh peaches are tossed with honey, lemon juice, and a touch of Ceylon cinnamon and ginger before baking down into a jammy, fragrant base that thickens beautifully on its own thanks to arrowroot starch. The topping comes together with cassava flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, and solid coconut oil worked into clumpy, rustic crumbs — no eggs needed at any point, which makes this a genuinely easy win for anyone avoiding them. Crumbles are one of those desserts that naturally lend themselves to egg-free baking, and this one leans into that with a topping that crisps up and holds together without any binding agent beyond honey and coconut oil. The coconut adds a subtle tropical note that plays beautifully against the stone fruit without overwhelming it. Let it rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven and the filling will settle into something almost custardy in texture, rich and glossy under that crunchy lid. Serve it as-is or with a scoop of your favorite dairy-free ice cream for a dessert that feels genuinely special.
