🥘Ingredients

For the Filling

6 medium ripe peaches, sliced
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Topping

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 375°F.
2In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, honey, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch.
3Stir gently until peaches are evenly coated and the mixture looks glossy.
4Pour the peach mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
5Bake for 10 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the peaches start to soften.
6Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, rolled oats, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.
7Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
8Add buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir just until a soft dough forms.
9Drop spoonfuls of dough over the hot peach filling, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
