My youngest daughter has a best friend at school who has celiac disease, which means she has to eat a completely gluten free diet. During class parties and snack time at school, she always has to have a separate treat from everyone else. Even at just 5 years old, she knows what she can and can’t eat.
Whenever I bring snacks up to school for their class, I try to plan something that is gluten free, so she can share in the same foods as everyone else. I know as a kid it can feel unfair when you’re a little bit different.
One easy treat is Quaker® Popped. They have so many flavors available from Caramel Corn to Ranch. They are rice crisps that are a perfect alternative when you need to avoid gluten. My favorite is Caramel Corn.
I grabbed some at Walmart this weekend and whipped up a delicious treat with roasted peaches and cream cheese. The best is – it’s completely gluten free! Here’s how to easily whip these up.
The first thing I do is roast the peaches on 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Usually I roast fresh peaches, but mine were hard as rocks. Since I was going to smash them down a bit and make almost a compote, I chose to roast a bag of frozen peaches.
Roasting fruit is surprisingly easy. I spray some olive oil on a cookie sheet, lay out the fruit and then put it in the oven. A regular size bag of peaches at Walmart will be plenty to top an entire bag of Quaker® Popped crisps.
After 15-20 minutes, the peaches are roasted to perfection. Scoop them into a bowl and do a little mashing with the back of a fork.
Next, set out the Quaker® Popped crisps in Caramel Corn flavor and add about a teaspoon of whipped cream cheese to each one. When you purchase cream cheese, make sure to check if it’s gluten free.
Next, add smashed roasted peaches to each crisp and top them off with a dash of cinnamon.

What a great idea! WE have so many extra peaches I am running out of things to make with them. I will definitely give these a try anything with caramel has to be delicious!
That looks so good and easy to make. I might do some baking this weekend with my daughter.Thanks for sharing.
Great idea for a sweet and healthy dessert combo! I adore peaches in any combo, and this is one that I think I’l try!
Yummy. Now that looks really good. I love the idea of dressing up a rice cake.
I actually love Quaker® Popped the way it is. But this recipe sure looks really yummy and I would love to try this soon!
Luckily I do not have to worry about Gluten Free foods nor do I know anyone who has to eat Gluten Free. I have never tried to roast fruit-sounds intriguing and this snack sounds like I would like it very very much!
This looks amazing! I’ve never eaten anything gluten free but I’d love to try this. I love peaches and caramel. 🙂
That’s a cute, fun recipe. My son loves the cheddar Popped.
I am not big gluten free person because frankly I have found anyting that makes my taste buds happy but this looks amazing. Peaches are in season now so I will have to make this this weekend.
YUM! I love the popped rice crisps and peaches so I can’t imagine this being bad. It looks delicious, too!
Wow, that looks so delicious! And such a great afternoon snack!
Oh yum, these look good! I love anything that has fresh peaches.
You had me at carmel and peach. I bet these treats are delicious!! And the fact that they are gluten free only sweetens the deal!
These look so yummy! How sweet of you to make sure that your daughter’s classmate can enjoy this delicious gluten free treat. Last year, my 3 year old had a classmate that could not have peanuts and I was surprised by how many snacks she could not have and I had to do quite a bit of investigating to find treats that were ok for me to take to therir class.
That is such an awesome idea. I absolutely love those rice cakes and will be using them in this way now.
I love it when other parents are thoughtful of kids in the classroom like you! I think your snack would be awesome….even at a party for adults! I’m a huge fan of peach so you had me from the beginning 🙂
What a clever and delicious recipe! yum!
I never would have come up with this, but it sounds delicious!! I can’t wait to try them!
This is so creative. Love it. Definitely have to try those rice cakes. The perfect size for my 2 1/2 year old.
