Plump, tender peach slices are topped with a light and fluffy cinnamon-sprinkled cake batter. This easy peach cobbler is a delicious dessert or decadent breakfast that comes together in just 45 minutes, and can be made with fresh, frozen or canned peaches so you can enjoy it all year round! Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan too, but no one would know!

What is a Cobbler?

If you’ve never heard of or eaten a cobbler before, (and no, I’m not referring to the guy who repairs your shoes), don’t worry!

It’s a common dessert in the United States and the United Kingdom that includes a fruit or savory filling in a baking dish that is topped with a batter, biscuit or dumpling before being baked. The name of the dessert might have come from the fact that the topping often resembles a cobbled stone path in terms of appearance rather than a smooth pastry look (which makes sense in my opinion).

While similar in concept to a crisp or a crumble, the main difference is that crisps or crumbles usually include oats in the topping, while a the topping of a cobbler does not.

A Dessert to Enjoy Anytime (Gluten-Free and Vegan too)!

Today we’re making a peach cobbler, and while peaches are usually only available during the summer season, this recipe is incredibly flexible and allows for the use of both frozen and canned peach slices too. While means you can literally enjoy this delicious dessert any time of the year!

You can make this easy peach cobbler recipe from scratch in just 45 minutes, and it’s also gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan too, so even those with gluten and lactose intolerances or follow a vegan lifestyle can indulge as well!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

Ingredient Notes/Substitutions:

  • Peaches: When peaches are in season, I highly recommend using fresh peaches for this peach cobbler (I like leaving the skins on but if you don’t like eating the skins, go ahead and peel the peaches before using them). If fresh peaches are not available, frozen or canned peaches slices will work just as well. 
  • Cornstarch: In this case, the cornstarch is necessary as a thickening agent to create a “syrup-like” texture. If you don’t have cornstarch, you can also use arrowroot starch or tapioca starch instead.
  • Lemon Juice: I like using fresh lemon juice because I always have fresh lemons on hand. However, you can use bottled lemon juice if that’s what you have.
  • Coconut Oil: I prefer using refined coconut oil because it has a less pronounced coconut flavor (as opposed to extra virgin coconut oil which has a stronger coconut smell and taste). Alternatively, if you are not lactose-intolerant, feel free to use equal quantities of butter or ghee instead.
  • Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour: I recommend using a gluten-free flour blend that is made of lighter flours and starches (such as rice flour, corn starch, potato starch or tapioca starch), as this will result in a lighter texture. I do not recommend flour blends that use heavier flours such as garbanzo bean flour as this will result in a denser outcome.
  • Xanthan Gum: Xanthan gum is often used in replacement of gluten and to help the ingredients bind together. Most gluten-free flour blends often include xanthan gum, but if your blend doesn’t, make sure to add it in as written in the recipe.
  • Almond Milk: I like to use my 5-minute homemade almond milk, but you can also use other non-dairy milks such as cashew milk, rice milk, or soy milk. Alternatively, if you are not lactose-intolerant, feel free to use normal dairy milk.
  • Cinnamon: I like using a sprinkle of ground cinnamon to add a bit of extra flavor to the batter, but if you aren’t a big fan of cinnamon, feel free to leave it out directly.

6. Add Wet Ingredients

7. Top Peaches with Batter

Spoon the topping evenly over the layer of peace slices (I like to place dollops of batter over the fresh and then spread the batter out slightly). Sprinkle the batter with ground cinnamon.

8. Bake Until Golden

Bake 30 minutes, until the top is golden and the peaches are bubbly.

Dish by Dish Tips/Tricks:

  • Mix Up the Fruits: If you wish, you can swap out half of the peaches for blueberries, or make a fruit cobbler with berries instead! Play around with the fruits you prefer.
  • Use a Cast Iron Skillet: If you own a cast iron skillet, you can also make this gluten-free peach cobbler recipe in the cast iron skillet instead. In that case, you can cook the peaches directly in the skillet and then top them with the batter before baking them in the same skillet.

Recipe FAQs:

Can I Use Canned Peaches instead of Fresh?

Yes! If you don’t have fresh peaches on hand, feel free to use canned or even frozen peach slices instead. This gluten-free peach cobbler recipe is very versatile, so go ahead and use whatever peaches you have available!

How to Store Peach Cobbler?

To store the peach cobbler, cover it in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

How do I Freeze the Cobbler?

To freeze, place in a freezer-safe airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Let the cobbler thaw completely overnight in the refrigerator and then warm it up in the oven at 350F for 10 minutes before serving.
