How to Make a Healthy Fresh Peach Buckle
This Fresh Peach Buckle is made healthy by substituting Whole Wheat Flour or other Whole Grain Flour in place of all-purpose flour.
But before we get started baking, you may be asking, “What is a Buckle?” Great question! It’s an old-fashioned style coffee cake that is moist and ladened with fruit. And you can serve it for breakfast or dessert.
Cake, Fruit, and a Crumb Topping!
This Healthy Peach Buckle Recipe lends itself beautifully to using whole grain flour because the cake basically “buckles” under the weight of the fruit and the crumb topping. Additionally, the buckle does not require the typical rise as with other cakes.
This cake has very little rise, but that’s okay. What it lacks in rise, it makes up for with a delightfully tasty combination of rich cake, sweet fruit, and a bit of sweet crunch from the crumb topping.
A Peach Buckle All in One Bowl
The nice thing about this cake batter is that it can all be mixed up in one bowl. For instance, there’s no need to cream the butter and sugar first. (And speaking of sugar, this recipe calls for dried cane juice, which has all its vitamins and minerals intact.)
Instead, you’ll throw all the cake batter ingredients into one bowl. And after that, you’ll blend everything together for about 3 minutes by hand or using an electric whisk. Next, you’ll pour the batter into your prepared pan and sprinkle it with the crumb topping.
In short, it couldn’t be easier! Before you know it, you’ll get that Peach Buckle into the oven in no time at all.
