I’m holding onto every last bit of summer that I can. I’m NEVER ready for cold weather and snow. So, here’s one last delicious summer recipe to use up the last of those fresh peaches!

Please, go make these before peach season ends!
These cookies are super easy to whip up. You’ll just mix up the batter and then fold in some fresh peaches. Here in Colorado, we have access to Palisades Peaches which are some of the sweetest, juiciest peaches ever! I wish I could share them with you through the screen.

How to Make Gluten Free and Dairy Free Peach Crumble Cheesecake
Although this gluten free cheesecake isn’t that complicated to make, it does have several components and cheesecakes do take some time. They have a longer bake and need a setting time, so be sure to plan accordingly before baking. I suggest making this at least a day before your desired serving time.
Ingredients for Peach Cheesecake
This peach crumble cheesecake is made up of 3 main components: the gluten free crust/crumble, the dairy free cheesecake filling, and the peach topping.
The crust: is made up of a mix of gluten free flours, coconut oil or butter, and maple syrup. It’s that simple!
The cheesecake filling: is made of dairy free cream cheese, dairy free yogurt, starch and flour, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and eggs. It is also quite simple. I love using a combination of cream cheese and yogurt to keep things healthier. I find this combo yields a near similar texture to traditional cheesecake, without all that heavy cream cheese. My taste testers agree ;).
The peach topping: is a combination of peaches, lemon juice, coconut sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and starch. We’ll amp up the flavor of the peaches with cinnamon and ginger, then soften and caramelize them a bit with coconut sugar before adding them to the cheesecake. You will need 3-5 peaches for the topping, depending on the size of the peaches. If you are huge peach fan, I also suggest adding a few extra diced peaches to the batter.
Process for Making This Healthy Cheesecake
You will start by making the crust/crumble. Just mix everything together and then use half of the mixture for the crust. The crust is baked before adding the cheesecake filling.
Next is the peach topping. You just cook the peaches down with the other ingredients, then set it aside to cool while you make the rest of the components.
Lastly, the cheesecake filling is made. You will beat together the cream cheese, yogurt, syrup, and flours then add the eggs one at a time.
To assemble, pour the cheesecake filling over the crust, add the cooked peaches, crumble the remaining crust on top and bake!
We will use a water bath in this recipe to help prevent cracking and slowly cool the cheesecake to help with this too. Trust me, water baths are much easier than you think!
What Cream Cheese and Yogurt Should I Use?
I love the Miyokos brand vegan cream cheese, but any dairy free cream cheese will do (or dairy filled if you can have it!).
My favorite yogurt to use is Harmless Harvest. A thick vegan yogurt is needed. I have tried SO Delicious and don’t find the flavor or texture turns out was good. I suggest a thicker vegan yogurt. Cocojune is another great option. If you can have dairy, use Greek yogurt. Plus, that will boost the protein content, as well.

My goal with baking is always to make a healthier, more nutrient dense, lower sugar version while still maintaining delicious flavor. I think you’ll find this cheesecake is incredible given the lower sugar content compared to your average cheesecake. Plus, I keep it completely gluten and dairy free!

Dairy free cheesecake is topped with a blueberry compote and gluten free crumble for another spectacular summer dessert. She’s a show stopper, so you’re sure to impress if you bring her to a party!
This peach crumble cheesecake combines two amazing desserts- peach crumble and cheesecake- into one delicious summer recipe! A dairy free cheesecake is topped with gluten free peach crumble for the ultimate summer dessert.
Preheat oven to 350F. Make sure there is a lower rack and middle rack set up.
First, make the crust. Line a springform pan with parchment paper. This is easiest by placing a layer of paper on the bottom then attaching the springform overtop. Use some oil or butter around the sides of the pan to get the parchment to stick.
Whisk together the dry ingredients then mis in the wet ingredients until you have a crumbly texture that holds together.
Press 1/3-1/2 of the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan and up the sides slightly (doesn't need to go very high, just so there is a lip). Bake for 15 minutes then remove and set aside.
Peach Topping
While crust bakes, add all the ingredients for the peach topping into a pan on low heat. Mix together and let cook for 5-10 minutes, until peaches have softened.
Set aside to cool while you make the filling.
Cheesecake Filling
While the crust bakes, make the filling. Combine the yogurt and cream cheese in a bowl and beat on medium high until smooth.
Add the flours, maple syrup, and vanilla and beat on medium speed to combine.
Add your eggs one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition until you have a smooth batter.
Assembly and Baking
Boil your 4 cups of water and pour into a glass baking dish on the bottom rack in the oven.
If you LOVE peaches, pour half of the cheesecake filling over the par-baked crust. Layer with the diced peaches (focus more on the outer 2/3 than pouring them right in the middle). Pour the other half of the filling over top. If not, just pour all of the batter into the springform pan.
Gently top the cheesecake with the sautéed peaches and top evenly with the remaining crumble.
Place the cheesecake on a middle rack in the oven. Bake for 65-75 minutes. You'll know the cheesecake is done when the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly and the crumble is golden. It should seem not quite done.
Turn off the oven and crack the door, letting the cheesecake cool for about 30 more minutes in the oven. Then take the cheesecake out to cool for an hour at room temperature.
Once cooled, place the cheesecake in the fridge overnight to finish setting.
When cheesecake is set, remove the springform pan, slice, serve, and enjoy!

These gluten free and dairy free copycat Nutter Butters can be made completely nut and seed free. I’m bringing back this childhood nostalgic snack, but allergy friendly!
gluten free nutter butters
Nutter butters were my favorite cookie growing up, but now that I react to most nuts, I decided to make a gluten free, granola butter version! These gluten free cookies are completely allergy friendly and absolutely delicious. Let me know in the comments what your favorite cookie as a kid was!
gluten free and dairy free and nut free healthy nutter butters
To make the classic nutter butter cookie shape, roll out 2 tsp of dough into a little log between your palms. Place the log on a parchment lined sheet and then press into a peanut shape, at least 1/4 inch thick. Use a fork to create the criss-cross pattern.
Once the cookies have baked and cooled, you’ll mix more of your nut/seed/granola butter with maple syrup to create the filling. Sandwich the filling between two cookies and enjoy!
What Granola Butter Should I Use?
I use my homemade granola butter recipe which is easy to make and refined sugar free. You can also purchase granola butter at the store (but it’s more expensive and has additives).
If you don’t want to buy or make granola butter or you can eat nuts, feel free to use peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter. Cashew butter doesn’t work very well for this recipe as it is too sticky and airy.
Remember the classic Nutter Butter cookies? Well, let's make them allergy friendly! These gluten free nutter butters can be made completely nut and seed free.
Whisk the wet ingredients for the cookies together until smooth. Add the dry and combine.
Scoop about 2 tsp of dough and roll into a little log between your palms. Place the log on a parchment lined sheet and then press into a peanut shape, at least 1/4 inch thick. You should get about 16 cookies.
Use a fork to press a criss-cross pattern onto the top of the cookies.
Bake for 10 minutes, then use a spatula to flip them over. Bake another 5-10 minutes. Less time will yield softer cookies, but if you want more of a crunch, bake longer.
Let cool completely.
Mix your filling ingredients together then spread onto one cookie and sandwich a second on top.

Ingredients
3cupschopped fresh fruit (I used peaches and strawberries)
Mix fruit, lemon juice, and sugar together in a bowl and set aside. If you use rhubarb, I highly suggest adding an extra tbs of sugar as rhubarb can be quite sour when baked.
Place coconut oil in a 9×9 baking dish and put it in the oven as it preheats, so oil melts.
Whisk dry ingredients together (flours, powder, salt) then add the maple syrup, vanilla, and 3/4 cup of milk.
Batter should be pretty runny, if not, add more milk.
Once coconut oil has melted, pour batter over the oil. You can tilt the dish side to side a little to evenly spread things, but don’t mix!
Dump the fruit evenly on top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out just clean.
