Commonly Asked Questions:
Is Peach Cobbler Healthy?
It depends on your definition of the word healthy. This peach cobbler uses no/less refined sugar and more whole food ingredients than a traditional recipe might.
Does Peach Cobbler have Gluten?
Most peach cobbler recipes do contain gluten in the form of wheat flour, but this recipe uses almond flour in it’s place to keep this recipe gluten-free.
Can I Double or Half this Recipe?
Yes you can! If you choose to cut this recipe in half then bake in an 8×8 pan and make sure to check on it often in the oven. If you want to double this recipe, bake it in two separate pans and you may need to bake one at a time to ensure even cooking.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Peaches: This fruit is the star of the show, in this case. This recipe only works for fresh peaches and I don’t recommend trying a frozen or canned substitute.
Lemon juice: Adding a little bit of an acid works to balance the sweetness in the fruit filling.
Tapioca starch: This starch works to thicken the peach filling and helps bind the gluten-free crumble topping. Tapioca starch works perfectly for this but you can also use any other starch you prefer, such as arrowroot or corn starch.
Coconut sugar or brown sugar: These sugars both taste very similar after the dessert is baked, so whichever one you prefer.
Organic cane sugar: This is what I used in the crumble topping for the photos to get a lighter color. But it works well to substitute coconut sugar if you want to keep this refined sugar free.
Sea salt: A little salt goes a long way in order to bring out all the lovely flavors in this recipe. You can use less or leave it out, if you prefer.
Almond flour: This gluten-free and grain-free flour creates the perfect crumbly texture for the topping while adding some protein for better blood sugar balance. I don’t recommend substituting any other flour as it won’t replace 1:1.
Coconut oil: This is the oil I used to keep this recipe dairy-free and vegan. You can try substituting softened butter but I haven’t tested this myself.
Maple syrup: This liquid sweetener is full of flavor and helps create the perfect texture for the crumble topping. You can try honey but it tends to brown faster in the oven so you may need to bake it for less time. I haven’t tried this option, so I can’t guarantee any result.
How to Make This Peach Cobbler
- Wash and slice your peaches then, add them to a large mixing bowl.
- Combine tapioca starch and lemon juice in a cup to break up any clumps, then add the mixture to your sliced peaches and stir.
- Add coconut sugar and sea salt and stir to coat everything well before transferring to your baking dish.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes to start cooking the peaches while you prepare the crumble topping.
- For the crumble topping, whisk the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir the softened coconut oil, maple syrup and sugar in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and use your hands to mix well until a thick dough has formed.
- Crumble this mixture across the top of the peach filling in an even layer and optionally, sprinkle extra sugar on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the topping has edges turning a light golden color.
- Scoop out large helpings and serve warm in a bowl with my recipe for homemade vegan ice cream.
Equipment for Peach Cobbler
- I love to use stainless steel mixing bowls for easy clean up and healthy cooking. I linked some similar to the bowls I use.
- I use a stainless steel baking pan that works perfectly for every baking project. I prefer to use stainless steel without non-stick coatings and this one has a lid that makes it is easy to store or transport any cooked dish.
