    • Recipe

    Warm fruity desserts with ice cream are the best! Berry cobbler, mixed berry crisp and warm apple crisp are some of my favorites in the summer. I couldn't let peach season go by without making a gluten free peach cobbler (which happens to be paleo and vegan too!). Fresh juicy peaches make the best dessert.

    You could even buy a few extra peaches and make this rich and creamy peach ice cream too. No such thing as too many peaches in the summer!

    How to Easily Peel Peaches

    Boil a pot of water and use a slotted spoon to carefully lower 2-3 peaches into the water. Leave them in the water for approximately 30 seconds then use the slotted spoon to immediately transfer them to an ice bath (a bowl filled with water and ice). This shocks the peaches and stoops them from cooking. You'll be able to pull the skin off with your hands.

    Another option: use a potato/vegetable peeler to peel the skin off. If the peaches are really ripe it's a little more tricky, but still works!

    The Gluten Free Flour

    I opted to create my own gluten-free flour blend of almond flour and tapioca flour to not only keep this recipe gluten free, but also paleo.

    • Blanched almond flour: This is almond flour that's made from peeled almonds and is more neutral in color and flavor. We use bob's red mill flours for most of our gluten-free recipes.
    • Tapioca starch: this is an affordable gluten free flour that's also used as a substitute for cornstarch in recipes! It's why this flour is in the cobbler topping and the fruit mixture to help thicken the peaches

    How to Make Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler (Step-by-step)

    1. Make the filling: add the peach slices, coconut sugar, maple syrup tapioca flour, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir well until the peaches are coated. Transfer to a greased baking dish.
    2. Make the biscuit topping: Add the dry ingredients to a medium bowl, then pour in the milk, butter, vanilla and sugar and stir in a medium bowl until no clumps remain. It will be somewhat wet at first and start to thicken up. Dollop by the spoonful over the peach mixture. It's okay if some peaches are showing.
    3. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar: combine the coconut sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the top of the almond flour dollops.
    4. Bake: Bake at 350°F for 32-37 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

    Gluten Free Peach Cobbler: Frequently Asked Questions

    Why is my cobbler gummy?

    If your cobbler has a gummy texture it's usually a result of using canned peaches or overcooking the cobbler. This gluten free peach cobbler most likely won't come out gummy because we aren't using canned peaches! Just keep an eye on the cook time as oven temps can vary.

    Is cobbler the same as crumble?

    A cobbler and crumble are similar because they're both fruit-based desserts with a topping, however, the distinction is the kind of topping. A cobbler has a layer of drop biscuits on top while a crumble is topped with a crumble topping (kind of like in these blueberry muffins with crumb topping) . This gluten-free peach cobbler recipe is topped with the traditional biscuits while a crisp recipe like our healthy apple crisp, strawberry rhubarb crisp and gluten free berry crisp have more crumble toppings.

    What to serve with gluten free peach cobbler:

    We like to make this coconut whipped cream for the top. You cold also buy your own whipped cream or dairy free whipped cream. One of our other favorites is a good vanilla bean ice cream!

    If you've got extra peaches you could turn this into a peach crisp, or better yet, a peach cobbler pound cake. It's a moist cake with cinnamon-flavored peach filling running through the center!
