Why You Need This Recipe
- Simple recipes are the best kind of recipes! There are no special techniques required for this easy recipe plus you don’t have to peel, pit, or slice the peaches if you use frozen peaches.
- Almond flour, almond milk, and coconut oil make this recipe gluten-free, grain-free, vegan, and dairy-free. It’s a delicious dessert that everyone can enjoy.
- If you have fifteen minutes to spare, then you have time to prep this cobbler and pop it in the oven!
Key Ingredients
- I’ve made this recipe with all kinds of gluten-free flours including tapioca flour and coconut flour. But, my favorite of the gluten free flours is almond flour. You can find almond flour in the baking section of your local grocery store.
- You’ll also need a bag of frozen peaches for this easy recipe.
- You’ll also need a granulated sugar like white cane sugar, coconut sugar, or brown sugar. An of these is fine to add extra sweetness to the peach slices. Don’t use a liquid sweetener like maple syrup as this recipe was tested using a dry sweetener.
- I used almond milk to help make the topping, but you can use regular milk if you aren’t on a dairy-free diet.
- You’ll also need butter or vegan butter to make the topping.

Recipe FAQs
Yes, but you’ll need to cut, core, and peel them. You might also want to add some fresh lemon juice to keep them from browning.
Almond flour tends to make the cobbler topping more crumbly and moist compared to using all-purpose flour. The texture will be slightly denser and less crispy.
To prevent a soggy topping, avoid overmixing the batter. Additionally, you can bake the cobbler uncovered for the last 10-15 minutes to allow the topping to crisp up.

- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 8 1x
Ingredients
For the filling:
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 8 ripe medium peaches or 4 ten-ounce bags of frozen peach slices, defrosted and drained
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or white sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
For the topping:
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (you can use regular milk if you prefer)
- 6 tablespoons butter or vegan butter, cut into small pieces
For serving (optional):
- Vanilla ice cream (regular or dairy-free)
- Whipped cream (regular or dairy-free)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, and cornstarch or arrowroot. Stir to combine and then pour into the baking dish and set aside.
- Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, the remaining ½ cup of sugar, baking powder, sea salt, almond milk, and butter. Use your hands to work the butter into the flour mixture until it is moist.
- Use your hands or a spatula to dollop the topping over the peaches.

- Serve your peach cobbler plain, or with your choice of whipped cream or ice cream (I used dairy-free coconut vanilla ice cream).
Notes
