Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups almond flour, finely ground
  • ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds (optional topping)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Brown the butter by placing ½ cup unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1½ cups almond flour, ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add the cooled browned butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix gently until combined. The dough will be soft but not wet.
  5. Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared pan to form a firm base.
  6. In another bowl, toss 2 cups sliced peaches with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (if using).
  7. Spread the peach mixture evenly over the crust.
  8. Crumble the remaining dough over the peaches in small chunks; it will not cover completely.
  9. Sprinkle ¼ cup sliced almonds over the top if desired.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling around the edges. A toothpick inserted in the crust should come out mostly clean.
  11. Let the bars cool completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  12. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, then cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

If the crust feels too soft before baking, chill it in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up. Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning. Use cornstarch in the peach filling to prevent sogginess. Bars keep well refrigerated and taste better the next day. For dairy-free, substitute vegan butter; for nut-free, substitute almond flour with oat flour.
