It’s seems like once I make a recipe we love, I make a million versions of whatever it is. Not a bad thing in my opinion!! First it was the Chocolate Klondike Bars! Low-Carb, THM, Keto, then it was the Healthy Cinnamon Bagels (Vegan option), and now it’s these bars. The first kind were my Vegan PBJ Crumble Bars! (Low-Carb-ish) and lemme tell ya, WOW!! They were SO SO GOOD!!
I try to make my recipes as simple as possible. Few ingredients, and ingredients that most people have in their kitchen. Now it’s not always that way, but I try. This crust is SUPER simple. 3-ingredients, unless you don’t count water as an ingredient. Then it’s only 2 ingredients. It’s just old fashioned oats, pitted dates, and good ole water!! We have an amish bulk store near us, so I got a screaming deal on my 5 lb. bag of dates!! Needless to say, I was VERY happy!! You can purchase any of the items you may not have for the crust with the links provided!
In the recipe I said that you can use fresh or frozen peaches. I used fresh because it’s peach season, and fresh is ALWAYS BETTER!! When you’re eating it fresh outta the oven, you gotta add more fresh peaches on top, because someone has to be extra! If it’s not you then who?? Oh right, me!!
These pouring pictures are just so satisfying to me. Also, looking at food is just as satisfying haha. Can ya tell i’m a foodie?? Since i’m addicted to food, it’s part of the reason I try to eat healthy. What you put into your body literally becomes you, so that’s why I try to be smart about it.
If you’ve been following me on my blog, you’ll notice that the 8×8 pyrex dish is the most used. It’s the perfect size to test a recipe just in case it doesn’t turn out, or tastes like garbage. Thankfully that’s not happened to me. Also you don’t have to use as many ingredients to fill and 8×8.

Vegan Peach Bars
Ingredients
Peach topping
- 2 cups Peaches (fresh or frozen) (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp pyure (or preferred sweetener)
- 1/2 tsp xanthem gum
Crust
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup Pitted dates (about 10)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 cup water
Optional crumble topping
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/4 tsp pyure (or preferred sweetener)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Crust
- Put the oats and dates in a blender and pulse until the dates are chopped up
- Stir in the water with a spoon, then press the crust into and 8x8
Peach topping
- Put the peaches, water, and pyure into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. I mashed the peaches as they cooked, but you can blend them first if you want more of a puree.
- When the mixture boils, turn to a simmer and SLOWLY whisk in the xanthem gum. You don't want it clumping.
- Remove from heat and pour over the crust.
- Preheat the oven to 350F
Optional Crumble topping
- Melt the coconut oil in the microwave
- Mix the oats, pyure, cinnamon, and coconut oil until well combined.
- Spoon topping over the top of your peach bars.
- Put the bars into the oven and bake for 25 minutes
- Remove and let cool slightly to eat right away. Or you can put them in the fridge and eat cold. Taste with fresh peaches and peanut butter on top!!
