Ingredients

For the Crust & Crumble:

• 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt

For the Peach Filling:

• 2 ½ cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Make the Crust & Crumble
In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Create the Base
Press about two-thirds of the crumble mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.

4. Make the Peach Filling
In a separate bowl, toss peaches with cornstarch, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon juice until evenly coated. Spread this mixture over the crust.

5. Add the Crumble Topping
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly over the peaches, gently pressing it down.

6. Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly around the edges.

7. Cool & Serve
Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars. Serve as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla yogurt.
