Ingredients
Scale
For the Peach Filling:
- 4 cups fresh, frozen, or canned peaches (sliced)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour (with xanthan gum)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter or vegan butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish. - Prepare the Peach Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, toss the peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
- Spread the peach mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Topping:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Assemble the Cobbler:
- Pour the batter over the peach filling, spreading it evenly. It’s okay if some peaches peek through.
- Bake:
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Peach Options: If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them completely. For canned peaches, drain and pat dry to remove excess syrup.
- Flour Substitute: If you prefer a grain-free option, almond flour works well but will produce a denser texture.
- Sugar Alternatives: Swap granulated sugar with honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar for a healthier twist.
- Vegan-Friendly: Use plant-based milk and vegan butter for a fully vegan cobbler.
