Single Serve Peach Crisp (Vegan, Gluten-Free)
Peach crisp for one? Yes, please! This Single Serve Peach Crisp is the easiest way to turn one ripe summer peach into a warm, cozy dessert. Vegan, gluten-free, naturally sweetened, and perfectly portioned for one!
It’s the end of summer, and you have one lonely peach sitting on the counter. What should you do with it? Easy: make this single serve peach crisp!
If you’ve tried my Healthy Peach Crisp or Air Fryer Peaches, think of this as their cozy, small-batch cousin. You still get those soft, juicy peaches with a golden crumble topping, just scaled down into the perfect dessert-for-one.
The best part? It’s naturally sweetened, vegan, gluten-free, and made with simple pantry staples you probably already have on hand. No leftovers. No fuss. Just a quick, healthy dessert that’s ready whenever a peach craving strikes!

Ingredient Notes
These simple pantry ingredients come together to create a cozy, single-serve peach crisp that tastes like summer in a ramekin!
- Peach: Use a ripe but slightly firm peach for the best flavor and texture. Too soft and it will become mushy as it bakes, while slightly firm peaches hold their shape and caramelize beautifully in the oven.
- Oats: Rolled or quick oats both work here, but I prefer quick oats since they create a crunchier crumble topping.
- Almond Flour: Gives the crisp topping a nutty richness and soft texture, just like in my Healthy Plum Crisp and Healthy Blueberry Crisp.
- Chopped Walnuts: I love using nuts for a crunchy texture, just like in my Healthy Berry Crisp and Healthy Apple Crisp. You can also swap in pecans or almonds depending on what you have on hand.
- Maple Syrup: Naturally sweetens the recipe without refined sugar. I’ve also tested this with agave syrup and it works just as well.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds warmth and enhances the peach flavor.
- Spices: A generous pinch of cinnamon and salt ties it all together.
Optional: Toss the peach slices in 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or coconut sugar if you like it sweeter.
Substitutions & Variations
- Maple Syrup: I’ve made it a few times with agave which works great. Date syrup works too.
- No Fresh Peaches? Frozen peach slices work great too! Just thaw and drain excess liquid before baking so the crisp doesn’t become watery.
- Nut-Free Version: Replace almond flour with oat flour and swap the chopped walnuts for more oats.
- Berry Peach Crisp: Toss in some blueberries or raspberries
- Apple Peach Crisp: Swap half the peaches for thinly sliced apples
How to Make Single Serve Peach Crisp
This is just a recipe overview! Scroll down to the recipe card to get the full recipe with measurements.
- Slice the peach: Peel the peach (or leave the skin on if you prefer), slice into thin wedges, and add it to a small ramekin. For extra sweetness, toss the peach slices in maple syrup or coconut sugar.
- Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix together the oats, almond flour, chopped walnuts, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. (This is the same crisp topping I use in my Healthy Peach Crisp, just scaled down for one serving). Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the peaches.
- Bake: Cover the ramekin with tinfoil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
- Use a ripe peach. Fresh, in-season peaches makes all the difference! The riper they are, the sweeter and more flavorful your crisp will be.
- Bake in a ramekin: I like to bake it in a small ramekin because the edges get caramelized while the center stays nice and juicy!

I added pecans instead of walnuts because my hubby doesn’t like walnuts. This recipe is easy to make and tastes delicious!
I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe, Sherry! (& your husband too!) I hope you’ll try some more recipes. 🤗

Hi Jane, I just updated the recipe to include the nutritional information. Please note it’s automatically calculated so it should only be used as an approximation. Hope you enjoy it!
Would I be able to make this with frozen peaches? 🍑 or would it get too mushy. I only buy peaches in summer from the local market (I live in Canada) so I like to buy a bunch and freeze some. Thanks!
Yes you can use frozen peaches! I would maybe add 1 tsp of cornstarch just to soak up some of the extra water. Let me know if you try it 🙂
