Jump to the Recipe
- Dry ingredients: almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar and baking soda. Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal which is too gritty.
- Wet ingredients: coconut milk, coconut oil and vanilla extract. I recommend using full fat coconut milk rather than low fat coconut milk.
- Spices: ground cinnamon and sea salt.
- Fresh peaches: if you would rather use frozen peaches I recommend thawing them first and draining off the excess liquid.
Recipe variations and add ins:
- For a slightly different flavour use nectarines instead of peaches to make a paleo nectarine cobbler.
- You can swap the coconut milk for another dairy-free milk such as cashew milk or almond milk.
How to make paleo peach cobbler:
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then add the ingredients for the peach layer into an 8″ x 8″ glass baking dish and stir well until everything is combined.
- Step 2: Place the peach mixture in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. While the peaches are baking, make the crust. To make the crust, place all the crust ingredients into a bowl and stir the ingredients together until you have a crumbly dough
- Step 3: After the peach layer has finished baking, form the crust into multiple flat shapes and place on top of the cooked peaches, leaving a few spots uncovered to let the peach layer bubble as needed.
- Step 4: Place the dish back into the oven and cook for an additional 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. Let it cool for a few minutes and then serve and enjoy!
Top tips:
- Do not try using different flours for the crust. I cannot guarantee that any substitutions will work.
- For a different appearance roll out the crust and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes such as stars or hearts.
- If you want to cover the cobbler completely in crust, roll out the dough and lay it on top. Just be sure to poke some holes in the dough to allow the peaches to seep through when they bake.
- Serving ideas: this paleo peach cobbler is delicious served as is, but you also could top it with vanilla ice cream, vanilla yogurt or coconut whipped cream.
- Storage: store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. This cobbler also freezes really well for up to 3 months in a freezer safe container.
Paleo peach cobbler FAQs:
While both crisps and cobblers are fruit desserts that can be made in the oven in a baking dish, or in a stovetop skillet, cobblers and crisps are slightly different – cobblers have a dense biscuit dough type topping, while crisps use oats and a streusel type topping, making them lighter in texture.
To thicken fruit for cobbler you will need to add a thickening agent such as corn starch or tapioca starch. You will also want to ensure that the filling gets bubbling hot when baking to help it thicken.
To make peach cobbler you are best off using fresh peaches. However, if you don’t have any fresh peaches you can use canned peaches or frozen peaches instead. You will just just need to thaw the frozen peaches before cooking them.
No this recipe is not keto. It’s made with peaches and natural sugars so it is high in carbs and not low carb or keto.
Yes, this is also a vegan peach cobbler recipe.
