Peach Buckle

By atxvegn

This recipe is gluten free, but can be adapted to "normal" by using allpurpose flour and omitting the xantham gum.

A buckle is a great dessert to make gluten free because it's like cake, only it buckles or sinks when it cools. It has a fun, bumpy top and is delicious with any fresh fruit.

Ingredients

• Cake:
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup Sucanat (or other granular sugar)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup applesauce (I used peach butter)
• 1-1/4 cups gluten free flour (I like Bob’s Red Mill)
• 3/4 cup oats*
• 2 t. baking powder
• 1 t. xantham gum (or guar gum)
• 1 t. cinnamon
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1/2 cup nondairy milk
• 1 t. vanilla
• 2 cups diced peaches (I like to leave the skin on)
• Topping:
• 1/2 cup oats*
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 t. cinnamon
• 2 T. canola oil

Preparation

Step 1

* If oats are not a part of your gluten free diet, substitute them with more gluten free flour.

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-inch square glass pan with cooking spray (or lightly oil).

Prepare cake: Combine oil, Sucanat, maple syrup, and applesauce in a mixing bowl and combine. In a separate bowl combine flour, oats, baking powder, xantham gum, cinnamon, and salt. Add half of flour mixture to sugar mixture and mix well. Add milk and vanilla and mix well. Mix in remainder of flour mixture and stir just until incorporated. Fold in peaches, then pour into pan.

Combine all topping ingredients and mix until crumbs form. Sprinkle on top of cake batter. Bake for 60 minutes, until lightly browned and tester comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
