Gluten Free Peach Cobbler Recipe

If you’re new to baking and looking for a simple yet delicious dessert, this gluten-free peach cobbler is the perfect starting point! With just a few basic ingredients and minimal prep, you’ll have a warm, comforting treat that the whole family will love. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for anyone with dietary needs!

Ingredients:

For the Peach Filling:

• 6-7 ripe peaches (or 4 cups of frozen peaches, thawed)
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar or regular sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for a thicker filling)

For the Topping:

• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (check if your mix includes xanthan gum)
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar or regular sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder (make sure it’s gluten-free)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter (you can use whatever you have on hand)
• 1/2 cup almond milk (or regular milk if you prefer)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will allow the cobbler to bake evenly and turn out perfectly golden.

2. Prepare the Peaches: If you’re using fresh peaches, peel them, remove the pits, and slice them. If you’re using frozen peaches, just thaw and drain them well. In a large bowl, combine the peaches with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch (if you want a thicker filling). Gently mix everything together until the peaches are coated, then pour them into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish.

3. Make the Topping: In another bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted coconut oil (or butter), almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until it forms a thick batter—don’t worry if it’s a bit lumpy!

4. Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the batter over the peaches. You don’t need to spread it out perfectly; it will bake into a nice, cobbler topping as it cooks.

5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.

6. Serve: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. For an extra touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for Success:

• No Stress on Perfection: Baking doesn’t have to be perfect! This cobbler is forgiving and still tastes amazing even if it doesn’t look exactly like a picture.
• Use What You Have: If you don’t have coconut sugar, regular sugar or honey will work fine. And if you don’t have almond milk, regular milk or even oat milk will do the trick!
• Peach Substitutes: If you can’t find fresh peaches, frozen ones work just as well. Simply thaw them and drain out the extra liquid.
