Peach Pie Breakfast Bites (Vegan, Gluten Free)

Melissa King 5 Comments

Peach Pie Breakfast Bites. These little bites make the perfect breakfast on the go. They are great for school lunches too.

My 8 year old has been really into peaches lately.  So last time I was at Costco, I bought a big box of them.  Well, she is not eating them as fast as I thought she would.  So now I’m creating all kinds of peach recipes trying to use them up.

Peach Chia Jam (No Refined Sugar)

Peach Chia Jam.  I made you a chia jam!  Are you seeing the peaches show up at your grocery store?

We are well into summer here in Texas, so I thought I would make some peach chia jam.  It turned out so good.

The best thing about this peach chia jam, is that there is no canning, boiling or pectin involved!  The chia seeds do all the work.  This chia jam is made in the refrigerator.  Super easy!

Another great thing about this jam is that it contains no added sugars.  Peaches are so sweet on their own, so I didn’t feel the need to add anything extra.

However, if you like things a little sweeter, you can probably add a couple teaspoons of maple syrup or raw honey.

This jam needs to be stored in the fridge and it should last a couple weeks.  It’s great on toast, on top of yogurt, or even as a pancake topping!

Peach Streusel Muffins (Vegan, Gluten Free)

Peach Streusel Muffins. My daughter loves peaches so I thought I would make her some peach muffins.  Streusel muffins to be exact.  Because muffins are always better with a streusel topping right?

These peach streusel muffins are made healthier.  In fact, the muffins itself has very little added sugar.  I used diced and pureed peaches to sweeten these.  The peach puree also kept these muffins super moist without the need for oil.  If you like these muffins, you may also like these and these.

The only time I used oil in the recipe was in the streusel topping.  Even then it was only 1 tablespoon.  These peach muffins are vegan and gluten free.  I hope you enjoy them!  These muffins freeze well, so make a double batch if you wish. 🙂

Peaches and Cream Popsicles

I think the warm weather is here to stay here in Dallas.  It’s been in the 80s all week.  So it was about time to break out the popsicle molds. Eating clean does not mean you need to miss out on frozen treats.  Making your own popsicles allows you to control the ingredients.  These peaches and cream popsicles have only a few simple ingredients.  My kids both love peaches so I created these peaches and cream popsicles for them.  If you wish, you can also pour this mixture into an ice cream machine to make ice cream instead!  If you enjoy this popsicle recipe, you may also enjoy my blueberries and cream popsicles or my dairy free fudgsicles.

These peach popsicles are dairy free and contain very little added sugar.  In fact, you can omit the sugar all together if you get some super ripe peaches.  My peaches were slightly on the tart side, so I added a little maple syrup.

Peach Fruit Leathers

We got a bunch of peaches in our co-op basket this week.  I though about doing some ice cream or cobbler, but at the last minute I decided to make peach fruit leathers.

Fruit leathers are really easy to make.  Much cheaper too!  I used my dehydrator to make these peach fruit leathers, but you can make them in your oven as well.  I just love the dehydrator because it quietly runs and I can even leave the house with it on.  It also doesn’t heat up the kitchen.  This is so easy, it’s almost silly to call it a recipe.

Prep Time 20 min Cook Time 7 hr Serves 10 fruit rolls     adjust servings

Ingredients

  • 5 peaches
  • 1 T honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. If using an oven, preheat it to 150. 
  2. Cut and pit all the peaches. I left the skins on, but you can also remove them if you want.
  3. In a food processor or blender , mix the peaches into a smooth puree.  Take a taste. 
  4. If the mixture is on the tart side, add a small amount of sweetener. 
  5. If you are using the oven, spread the mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet.  Make sure it’s as even as it can get. 
  6. Bake for about 7 hours or until the mixture is a bit tacky.  I kept checking on mine to see how easily it could pull away from the parchment. 
  7. I also line my dehydrator trays with parchment. 
  8. Set the dehydrator on 150 and run for about 7 hours.
