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!!
