So Nate and I decided this month that we are going to eat mostly refined sugar free. We’ve been trying to take better care of ourselves lately by targeting one unhealthy habit at a time, to make it a more manageable way to take on the challenge. Plus, I need to whip my body back into shape and figured staying away from sugar and sweets was a good way to do it! If you know me you know I’m pretty much addicted to candy, cookies and other sweets, so this is a hard challenge for me, but I know it will help me to appreciate when I do have a dessert occasionally instead of just eating sugar nonstop. But meanwhile, this blackberry peach crisp is the perfect sugar free dessert solution to make at home.
Want to join me in my sugar-free challenge? Just take it one day at a time like we are, and invite a friend to do it with you. It’s always easier to have a partner cheering you along!

This blackberry peach crisp is made lighter and with no refined sugars, by using honey instead of sugar to sweeten the fruit and the crumble on top. You could also use maple syrup or agave nectar if you prefer those. Or if your fruit is sweet enough you can cut the amount of honey back even more too. My blackberries were a little on the tart side, so I mixed in 1 TBS of honey, but if you are just using summer peaches those are probably sweet enough on their own.
For the fruit filling you’ll mix together your fruit with corn starch, cinnamon, and your honey (if you use it). Another great thing about this crisp is you can use whatever fruit you want, you could use pears, strawberries, whatever.
The crumb topping is made from oats, chopped pecans, flour, cinnamon, coconut oil and honey. Basically you just mix it all together and crumble it on top of your fruit mixture in your baking dish. Then you bake your crisp in the oven for about 45 minutes. Allow it to cool for a few and then top it with a small scoop of no added sugar ice cream, or enjoy it on its own.
