My single-serve peach 🍑crisp is the ultimate summer dessert. If you have just one fresh peach in your kitchen, you’re already halfway to making this incredibly satisfying, comforting treat.
Why You’ll Love This Single Serve Peach Crisp
A crisp is a fruit-based, baked dessert with a crumbly topping, typically made from a combo of flour, oats, butter or milk, and spices. In this single-serve recipe, I’m using nutritious oat flour, a touch of brown sugar, crunchy walnuts, and just a bit of milk 🥛to help bind the topping. All-purpose flour will also work just fine or you can make your own oat flour by pulsing dried oats in a food processor until a fine dust forms.
When is Peach Season?
Peach season lasts from approximately July to September, so make this recipe soon, while peaches are bursting with natural juiciness and need hardly any added sweetener. If you don’t love peaches or can’t find them locally, nearly any fresh fruit will work here: berries; pitted stone fruits, such as nectarines, apricots, or cherries🍒 apples, and more.
How to Prepare
Everything gets baked in a single-serve-sized baking dish (such as a ramekin) until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. I’m partial to serving this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This would also make a decadent breakfast, served with vanilla yogurt.
Nonna’s Tip
You can use frozen fruit, but be sure to thaw and drain it before using it in the recipe. Frozen fruit may release more liquid, so you might need to adjust the recipe slightly.
Variations and Substitutions for Single Serve Peach Crisp

Common Questions
Yes, you can use frozen fruit, but be sure to thaw and drain it before using it in the recipe. Frozen fruit may release more liquid, so you might need to adjust the recipe slightly.
You can use a single-serve-sized baking dish, such as a ramekin, for this recipe. I used a 10-ounce ramekin. A dish with a capacity of 8 to 10 ounces is ideal.
Peeling the peaches is optional. Some people prefer the texture and flavor of unpeeled peaches, while others like to peel them for a smoother texture. It’s a matter of personal preference.
Yes, all-purpose flour can be used as a substitute for oat flour if you prefer. You can also make your own oat flour by processing rolled oats in a food processor until finely ground.
To make the recipe gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour in place of oat flour. Ensure that all other ingredients are gluten-free as well.
Yes, you can substitute white sugar for brown sugar, but keep in mind that brown sugar adds a slight caramel flavor. You can also use alternative sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar.
Of course – you can make a vegan version by using coconut oil or a vegan butter substitute instead of regular butter and using plant-based milk such as almond or soy milk.

ITS SOOOO GOOD! I love it
Yayyy, love this Rishaan!
Quick and easy, love that it isn’t overly sweet and it brings out the taste of the peach so well. 10/10. I’d have this for breakfast too!
Another great recipe! Can this be assembled ahead of time and then baked before serving or would the peaches get all soft and mushy? Thx
Hi Linda, I don’t recommend assembling this ahead of time.
Do peaches need to be peeled for this?
No, peeling is totally optional.
