Ingredients You’ll Need

8 medium-large peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced): Fresh peaches are key for juiciness; if out of season, canned peaches can be a substitute.
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice: This brightens the peach flavor and balances sweetness.
2-4 tablespoons maple sugar or coconut sugar: Adjust the sweetness according to your preference—coconut sugar gives a deeper caramel flavor.
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon: Adds warmth and makes it feel cozy.
1 tablespoon arrowroot flour or tapioca flour: Works as a thickener for the peach filling; cornstarch is a suitable alternative.
Pinch sea salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour: Gives the cobbler a nice texture; you can substitute with ground oats or a gluten-free all-purpose flour if needed.
1/2 cup arrowroot flour or tapioca flour: Adds structure to the topping.
1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon maple sugar or coconut sugar: Sweetens the topping perfectly.
1/4 teaspoon sea salt: Important for balancing sweetness in the topping.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon: Continues the warm flavor theme in the topping.
1 1/2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder: This leavens the cobbler, making it light and fluffy.
1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil (melted, cooled): Provides moisture and a tender crumb; can be replaced with avocado oil.
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred dairy-free milk): This adds the necessary liquid while keeping it dairy-free.
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract: Elevates all the flavors with its lovely aroma.

How to Make Easy Peach Cobbler (Gluten-Free, Naturally Sweetened)

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9″ square, round, or 11″ oval baking dish with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Prepare the peaches: In a large bowl, toss the peaches with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, 2-4 tablespoons of maple sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of arrowroot flour. Mix well until the peach slices are evenly coated. Then, spread this mixture evenly in your prepared baking dish.
Make the cobbler topping: In another large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour, 1/2 cup arrowroot flour, 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon maple sugar, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. Whisk together.
Add wet ingredients: Pour in 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, 1/3 cup almond milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms, then let it rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Top the peaches: Using a scoop or spoon, drop the batter over the peaches in four spots, creating a rustic cobbler look. Gently flatten each scoop without fully spreading the batter.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping turns golden brown and is set.
Cool before serving: Let the cobbler cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to allow the filling to set. Serve it warm or at room temperature, perhaps with coconut vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped coconut cream.

Storing & Reheating

To store your Easy Peach Cobbler, keep it at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, move it to the fridge, where it can last for about 5 days in an airtight container. If you want to store it longer, freeze it for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. To reheat, it’s best to place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Note that the texture of the topping might soften slightly after freezing, but a bit of warmth will refresh the lovely flavors.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

For the best peach flavor, choose perfectly ripe peaches—they should yield slightly when squeezed.
Avoid overmixing the topping; mix just until combined for a better texture.
If you prefer a sweeter cobbler, start with the lower range of sugar and taste before adding more.
If the peaches are particularly juicy, adding a little extra arrowroot flour can help thicken the filling further.
Feel free to mix in berries or nuts for added texture and flavor.
If you’re baking ahead of time, slightly underbake to prevent it from getting too dry when reheated.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just allow them to thaw and drain any excess liquid before using them in the cobbler. This helps prevent the filling from becoming too watery.

How can I make the cobbler sweeter without adding more sugar?

If you wish to add sweetness without overloading on sugar, try mixing in a few tablespoons of fruit preserves or a splash of maple syrup to your peach filling. It adds a natural sweetness without compromising the flavor.

Can I substitute the almond flour for regular flour?

While almond flour adds a lovely texture and flavor, you could try using a gluten-free all-purpose flour in a 1:1 ratio. However, the final texture may differ slightly due to the absence of almond flour’s unique qualities.

How can I tell when the cobbler is done baking?

You’ll know the cobbler is finished when the edges are bubbly and golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean. The filling should be slightly bubbling around the edges, indicating it’s ready to enjoy!

Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9" square or round or 11" oval baking dish with coconut oil.
Toss the peaches with lemon juice, maple sugar, cinnamon, arrowroot flour, and sea salt until well coated. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
