Juicy peaches are a favorite fruit for many people. Their natural sweetness makes them a tasty treat even raw. 

But for something different, try baked peaches! 

The contrast of warm fruit with cool whipped cream and crunchy granola makes for an exciting summer dessert. 

This recipe might bring to mind peaches and cream. Or, with granola, this peach dessert might also remind you of a peach cobbler, peach crisp, or peach pie. 

A variety of fresh fruits and veggies help you get important vitamins and minerals into your diet. And if you can sneak these into a dessert, why not? 

Here are a few highlights of how fresh peaches can help support your health with Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.

A healthy dessert recipe? Yes, please! 

Here are some tips for making this low histamine baked peaches recipe. 

Low Histamine Baked Peaches Recipe Tips 

Peach season varies from region to region. But generally, you get the freshest peaches from late May to August. 

That makes this a perfect summer dessert with the best peach flavor! 

But you don’t have to limit this to dessert. It would be a great addition to brunch, too! You could serve it with low histamine ginger cardamom breakfast rolls. 

Here are some tips for prepping your summer peaches for this baked peaches recipe. 

Blanch Fresh Peaches 

Blanching may sound fancy.  

But all it means is you’ll briefly submerge the fresh peaches in boiling water. Then immediately cool them in an ice bath. 

Here’s why you’ll want to blanch peaches for this peach dessert. 

It helps the skin come off so easily! 

Some people don’t like the texture of peach skin. And in this baked peaches recipe, the peaches are easier to eat without the skins on. 

But here’s what to know about fruit skins.

Pollen can linger on the skin and cause increased symptoms for some people with environmental or seasonal allergies, or other allergic conditions. If that is the case for you, you may do better without the skins.

But there is nothing wrong with leaving the peach skins on if that is your preference. You can skip the blanching step if you do choose to keep the skins on. 

Optionally, you can use a peeler or a knife to remove the peach skins, too. This can be more labor intensive, though. And you often lose a bit of the fruit with the peeler, too. 

However, just 30 seconds in boiling water makes easy work of your prep. 

The skins will slide right off. 

The second step to blanching is to stop the cooking process by putting the peaches in an ice bath.  

This step is optional here. That’s because you’ll be cooking the peaches immediately anyway.  

However, putting the peaches on ice does help cool the peaches. This makes them easier to handle for cutting and pitting them.

Adding Sweetener 

You might love peaches exactly how they are since they are naturally juicy and sweet. But you might want a little extra sweetness in your peach dessert. 

You’ll use just a few drops of stevia in the whipped topping in this recipe. 

But I’ve made whipped topping in the past with monk fruit powder, too. Adding monk fruit powder makes the whipped topping sweeter.  

I’ve done that in other recipes to balance tarter flavor profiles. Like with this low histamine 6 layer cranberry trifle recipe. 

You can do either one. It’s up to you! 

You could also skip the whipped topping and add a scoop of low histamine vanilla ice cream instead. Or do both!

Making the Granola 

This recipe calls for pecans, macadamia nuts, and sliced tiger nuts. You can use all 3. Or you can use any 1. The granola is highly customizable. 

You’ll want about 3 tablespoons total. But you can make more if you like the crunch factor. 

This recipe used: 

  • 1 Tablespoon of chopped macadamia nuts
  • 1 Tablespoon of chopped pecans
  • 1 Tablespoon of sliced tiger nuts 

TIP: For the granola, just use your knife to cut up the nuts. If you put them in a food processor, they will turn to dust or butter very quickly.  

Follow the Recipe Steps in Order 

These recipe instructions were put together to help make the most of your time.  

You’ll make the granola while your water boils and oven preheats. 

Then you’ll make your whipped topping while your peaches bake. 

Multi-tasking makes this easy dessert come together efficiently!

Instructions
 

  • Fill a medium pot with water and heat over high to bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, set oven to preheat to 375 degrees F.
  • While your water comes to a boil and the oven preheats, make the granola. Chop up the pecans and, macadamia nuts with a knife. Move to a small bowl and mix with the sliced tiger nuts and set aside.
  • Prepare your baking dish by coating it with 1 Tablespoon of the coconut oil.
  • When your water is at a boil, get your bowl of ice water ready. Fill your medium mixing bowl about halfway with ice and add enough water that the ice doesn't stick together in a solid clump.
  • Add your whole peaches to the pot of boiling water for about 30 seconds.
  • Remove peaches with a slotted spoon (or drain with a colander) and place peaches in a bowl of ice. Skins should peel off easily with your fingers.
  • Cut the peeled peaches in half and remove the pit. You can use a spoon to scrape out any tough areas that remain when the pit is removed.
  • Place halved peaches in dish cut side up.
  • Brush each peach half with the remaining 1 Tablespoon of coconut oil.
  • Bake 20 minutes or until tender.
  • While peaches bake, make your whipped coconut cream. You can dry out the bowl that had the ice in it and use that same bowl.
  • Empty only the thick contents of the can of coconut cream into a medium bowl. You can add the remaining coconut water slowly, 1 teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired thickness. If you like thicker whipped cream, you may choose not to add any of the water at all. If you like thinner whipped cream, you may add 2 to- 3 teaspoons or more of the liquid.
  • Whisk together the cream, vanilla powder, and stevia. (You can add more stevia to taste or use monk fruit powder.)
  • When the peaches are tender, remove from oven and serve immediately. Add a dollop of whipped coconut cream and granola to the top of the peaches.

Notes

Notes: 
Choosing a Baking Dish
If you are using smaller peaches, a 9×9 baking dish should work for you. However if you have medium to large peaches you may need a larger dish. Just choose one that fits your needs and has deep enough sides so that the juices don’t spill out.
