Summer is the season for fresh, ripe peaches, so stop by your local farmer’s market or grocery store and grab some to turn the sweet fruit into a delicious pecan peach crumble with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream.

In this recipe, simply mix together pecan, oats, and sugar and top it on warm, baked peaches and enjoy every spoonful with dairy-free vanilla ice cream for an easy plant-based dessert. This recipe is simple and children can partake at any step and learn how to create a healthier version of the desserts they love.

(The original recipe calls for butter but we use coconut oil instead to make it vegan.)

When you choose to eliminate dairy from your diet, you’re more likely to lower inflammation in your body caused by consuming animal products, like real dairy. So make this summer treat on repeat, dive in spoon first, and feel great about indulging in healthier treats.
