Ingredients and substitutions
Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients in this recipe. You can see a complete list of ingredients and instructions in the recipe card below.
Peaches - Ripe ones are best as they will bake up better and have a more robust natural sweetness. I use yellow peaches, but any kind will work.
Nectarines are a great stone fruit substitute.
Olive oil - Instead of butter or vegan butter, a little olive oil is all you need.
Coconut oil or vegan butter can be substituted if needed.
Maple syrup - This natural sweetener adds a flavor profile closer to brown sugar but keeps things unrefined.
Cinnamon - A little bit of ground cinnamon enhances the natural sugars of the juicy peaches.
Organic cane sugar - This vegan-friendly less refined sugar helps caramelize. Coconut sugar can be substituted.
Vanilla extract - A quality pure vanilla extract adds sweetness and rounds out the different flavors.
Step-by-step instructions
Before you start: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-4 minutes. Halve peaches with a sharp knife and remove the pits.
Step 1: Lightly brush the cut sides of the halves with olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, organic cane sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Step 2: Line the basket with parchment paper and place peaches cut side up in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Drizzle a teaspoon of the maple syrup mixture on top of each half. Bake for 8 minutes.
Tips
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper after you preheat. This way the parchment won't fly up into the heating element.
- Make sure the fruit is at room temperature before baking.
Serving suggestions

I just found a bag of Teff flour in my pantry too (probably inspired to make one of your recipes, but never actually followed-through :( ) so I'm going to go through your teff baking recipes and find a way to use it! And now I'll have to go out and find teff grains too! This sounds and looks so wonderful- the perfect way to use those summer peaches.
Tessa
You are the sweetest. <3 It adds the perfect bit of crunch to those juicy roasted peaches! The nice thing about teff grains is that once they are in the pantry, they do come in handy for an easy breakfast porridge!

So gorgeous, Tessa! I am smitten with the current peach season - there seems to be no shortage and no doing wrong with them. This is fantastic, the teff is such a great touch. Thank you for the inspiration. xo
Tessa
Thank you, Danielle! I am smitten with peach season too. Think I've had at least one every day for the last couple weeks! You are so right - there is no doing wrong with them! xoxo.

just reading this brought back memories of eating fried ice cream at my favorite mexican restaurant growing up, in a small town close by. i would have never, ever thought of making something similar using teff. you're so creative! i will definitely have to try this. i do love your teff cookies. :) xo
Tessa
Fried ice cream is such a memorable treat, isn't it? Just when you thought ice cream couldn't get any better, it does. I'm so glad you enjoy the teff cookies! They are my favorite. I like that this recipe gives me another reason to use the teff grains other than porridge! <3

I have a bag of Teff in my pantry unopened, I've had for at least 6 months. I had good intentions. I'd read about it, it's health benefits and delicious flavor but forgot about it hiding behind all the jars filled with bulk items. I'm so happy to read how you've used it here, Tessa! It's such a delicious way to enjoy Teff and I would have never thought about crusting ice cream with it! You've got the pinnacle of pastry here: warm, crunchy, creamy, cold ! And such a beautiful presentation! xo
Tessa
Haha, teff seems to hang around the pantry here too. A little goes a long way! Yes, yes - warm, crunchy, creamy, cold! That's it! :)
Thank you, Traci! Have a great weekend! xo.

The light in these photos (it must be said first) is exquisite. That last shot is a jaw dropper ~ you must have found your spot :) we've moved around a lot and I continue to roam for the 'right' light. I dream of the day when I might be able to replace our groovy orange & blue art inspired walls with a neutral grey :o This recipe is such a novel way of adding interest and texture to your lovely dessert - I also like the use of cinnamon in combination with the teff; I can taste this one!
Tessa
Oh, thank you, Kelly! That means a lot. I totally understand finding the right light - it is a constant battle for me. We've been in our place for just about a year now and I feel like maybe I'm figuring it out. We have several brick walls that I am constantly shielding the photos from! Ha.
Yes, I love the cinnamon with the teff! Hard to keep it to eating only one rolled ice cream ball. ;) xoxo.
Sarah @ Snixy Kitchen
I've actually never used teff flour, but now I am so intrigued! I love the idea of rolling scoops of ice cream into the teff flour - genius!
Tessa
I have to say, rolling ice cream in the teff mixture was pretty fun! Haha, or maybe I'm just easily amused. ;) With this recipe you'll want teff grains instead of teff flour. Although, teff is so, so tiny it is hard to tell the difference! I had to make sure I grabbed the right bag when I was testing. <3
Mary Ann | The Beach House Kitchen
This is sooo up my alley Tessa! And I've never tried teff, so now I'll get to try something new! Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!
Tessa
Oh yay! I'm so glad. For such a tiny grain teff really has some good for you power. I hope you enjoy this, Mary Ann! xoxo
Abby @ Heart of a Baker
I can't even tell you how excited I am about this recipe! That crusted ice cream! Those peaches! I think this calls for a trip to the grocery store ASAP. I still have some of the teff flour leftover from when I made your brownies and I think this will be the perfect way to use it up :) Happy Friday! xoxo
Tessa
Aw, yay! Thank you, friend! I've been eating peaches all week and I can't get enough. So satisfying! This recipe does use the teff grain and not the flour, although I feel like you have to use a microscope to almost tell the difference! Ha. So tiny!
Happy Friday to you!!! <3 <3 <3
