Here's everything you need to make these luscious peach blueberry crumble bars:

Peaches: Opt for ripe, juicy peaches when making the filling. Look for peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a fragrant aroma.

If fresh peaches are not available or not in season, you can use frozen peaches or even canned peaches. However, make sure to thaw them before using and drain off any excess liquid to prevent the bars from becoming too watery.

Coconut Oil: Choose refined coconut oil if you want no coconut taste, as unrefined oil has a stronger flavor.

Oats: Choose old-fashioned rolled oats rather than quick-cooking oats for a heartier and more satisfying texture.

Here's how to make these delectable peach crumble bars. Full detailed recipe and quantities are in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Here are some more ideas to customize this peach bar recipe to suit you:

Gluten-Free: Replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend containing xanthan gum. Ensure the baking powder and oats used are certified gluten-free as well.

Refined Sugar-Free: You can replace the light brown sugar in the base and crumble topping with coconut sugar.

Fruit Swaps: While peaches and blueberries create a fantastic flavor combination, feel free to experiment with other fruits. Try using sliced apples, pears, or a mixture of berries, such as raspberries and blackberries, for a unique twist.

Nutty Crunch: Add some chopped nuts, such as almonds or pecans, to the crumble topping for an extra crunch. For more nutty flavor you can also add up to ½ a teaspoon of almond extract to the base or crumble mixture.

For the best results wait until the bars are completely cool to cut them neatly. 

They make a delightful snack for picnics, afternoon tea, or a lunchbox dessert.

You can also serve them warm as a delicious dessert with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream. 

Store: If you have any leftovers (which is rare because they're so scrumptious!), keep them in a sealed container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for a couple of days, but please note that the texture may become slightly softer over time.

Freeze: You can freeze these bars, although they won't be as crisp. Once the bars have cooled completely, you can wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container and freeze them for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
