Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler because it’s a warm, satisfying dessert that’s incredibly easy to prepare. The peaches are perfectly complemented by a slightly sweet, flaky biscuit topping that adds the ideal contrast to the soft fruit. It’s gluten-free, so it’s great for those with dietary restrictions, yet it doesn’t sacrifice any flavor or texture. This cobbler is perfect for a cozy family gathering or a summer BBQ. The best part? You can enjoy the natural sweetness of the peaches paired with a golden, buttery topping that bakes to perfection. It’s the perfect balance of flavors and textures in every bite.
Ingredients
For the Peach Filling:
4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 cans of peaches in light syrup, drained)
1/4 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
For the Topping:
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (make sure it contains xanthan gum)
1/4 cup coconut sugar (or regular sugar)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish (or a similar-sized casserole dish) with butter or cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch (if using). Toss everything together until the peaches are well coated, then pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the almond milk and vanilla extract until just combined. The dough will be thick but spoonable.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping evenly over the peach filling. It’s okay if some peach filling peeks through.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
