This is the best paleo peach cobbler. With the sweetness of peaches, hints of cinnamon, and the perfect crust made with almond flour, coconut flour and coconut sugar, you will love how easy it is to make. It's also healthy, vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free!
Cobblers and crisps like my healthy blueberry raspberry cobbler and paleo cherry crisp are some of my favourite desserts, which is why I can't wait for you to try the healthy peach cobbler recipe I am sharing with you today.

Why you will love this peach dessert:
- This gluten-free peach cobbler has the most amazing flavour!
- Even though this homemade cobbler is made from scratch it's really simple and easy to make.
- Because this healthy peach cobbler is made with almond flour it's higher in protein compared to most cobbler recipes.
- In addition to being paleo this summer dessert is also egg-free, dairy-free, vegan, refined sugar free, and gluten-free, just like my paleo apple pie bars.
If you love fruit based desserts you will also love paleo lemon and cranberry bars and grain free cherry crisp.
Ingredients:
For the full ingredient list and exact measurements refer to the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
Jump to Recipe- Fresh peaches - if you would rather use frozen peaches I recommend thawing them first and draining off the excess liquid.
- Coconut sugar – my favourite granulated natural sweetener. You could also swap this for brown sugar.
- Tapioca flour – to help thicken the peach mixture and give the crust the perfect texture.
- Almond flour - this is used to make the crust on this paleo peach cobbler. Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal which is too gritty. You could swap this for cashew flour instead.
- Coconut flour - this is added to the crust to help give it a more firm texture.
- Coconut milk - I recommend using full fat coconut milk rather than low fat coconut milk. You could swap this for another dairy-free milk such as cashew milk or almond milk.
- Coconut oil - this helps give the crust the perfect crumbly texture while keeping it dairy-free.
Recipe variations and add ins:
- For a slightly different flavour use nectarines instead of peaches to make a paleo nectarine cobbler.
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 cobbler is delicious served as is, but to make it even more special you 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.
