Healthy Almond Flour Peach Cobbler
Would it surprise you to know I have never made a cobbler before? I always *thought* I was more of a crisp person, but this easy recipe definitely has changed my mind.
Regardless of whether you are gluten free or not, vegan or not, prefer Paleo recipes, or regular, old-fashioned “grandma’s recipes,”, this peach cobbler is for you.
You love this recipe because:
- It’s easy-peasy. Add peaches to the baking dish with a few ingredients, and mix together a handful of ingredients in a bowl to make a crumbly biscuit-like topping.
- The almond flour topping has a subtle nutty, wonderfully sweet flavor and creates the BEST melt-in-your-mouth biscuits.
- It’s a great dessert, but doubles as BREAKFAST! You heard me. I’ve cut the typical 1 1/2 cups of sugar in a peach cobbler down to 6 tablespoons. And I promise – you won’t miss it!
- No refined white sugar! This healthier dessert relies on natural sweeteners.
What You’ll Need
- Ripe Fresh Peaches (any variety work, but they need to be sweet!)
- Coconut Sugar (this is a more natural “brown sugar”)
- Lemon Juice
- Ground Cinnamon
- Arrowroot Powder (this is an easily digestible alternative to using corn starch or tapioca)
Almond Flour Topping:
- Almond Flour
- Arrowroot Powder
- Baking Soda and Sea Salt
- Almond Milk
- Coconut oil
- Honey (maple syrup, or date syrup)
- Vanilla Extract
How to Make Gluten Free Peach Cobbler
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400º F. Thinly slice peaches and add to a 9×9 baking dish.
Step 2: Sprinkle lemon juice, arrowroot, coconut sugar and cinnamon over peaches, and gently toss to evenly coat.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl, add almond milk, coconut oil, honey (or date syrup), vanilla, sea salt and baking soda. Whisk until mixed well.
Step 4: Add the almond flour and arrowroot, and then stir until a thick cookie-dough like batter is formed.
Step 5: Spoon the mixture over the peaches in 3 rows by 3 columns, and then use a spatula to spread the batter to cover the peaches in a rustic but somewhat even covering.
Step 6: Cover the baking dish in foil. This is important because almond flour browns/burns more quickly than regular flour.
Step 7: Bake the foil covered dish for 30 minutes, remove the foil, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the peach mixture is bubbling and the topping is evenly browned.
How to Store Peach Cobbler
Once the cobbler has fully cooled to room temperature, wrap the baking dish in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate the dessert for up to 5 days.
The almond flour topping gets more soggy than a traditional wheat based one, so I prefer to serve this dessert within 1-3 days of baking it.
How to Serve Peach Cobbler
With Ice Cream: Can you really serve a cobbler without melty vanilla ice cream? We also use vanilla frozen yogurt. I love to bake this before dinner, let it cool while we eat, and then serve the dessert still warm. It’s also delicious cold but the warm/cold combo of the baked peaches and ice cream is magical.
With Greek Yogurt: If you’re eating leftovers for breakfast (or a snack!), add a big scoop of plain Greek yogurt!
The Perfect Paleo Peach Cobbler Recipe (Variations)
Blueberry Peach Cobbler: This works wonderfully with blueberries! Simply add 2 cups of bluberries to the peach mixture. Fresh blueberries work the best. If using frozen blueberries, dot them around the top of the peaches, without mixing them in. Mixing frozen blueberries into the peaches will result in a purple dessert!
Individual Peach Cobblers: This recipe works fabulously as an individual dessert. Instead of using a large baking dish, add the peaches to 8 ounce ramekins. Top each one with a small biscuit of dough. Wrap the ramekins in foil to bake for the first 30 minutes, then uncover them and allow them to bake another 10-12 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.

All of my favorite flavors and gluten-free! Absolutely love this dish. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Time to whip out some vanilla ice cream to enjoy with this fantastic peach cobbler recipe! Thanks for sharing, Michelle!
Such a beautiful peach cobbler and I really love the almond flour. Almond and peaches are a great combination
Yes, they are! This turned out fabulous.
This recipe is absolutely delish. Came out perfect.
I totally agree about the almond flour as it goes well with fruity desserts. The stove top oven looks a great gadget too.
Nothing says “summer” like a nice peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!! I love that your recipe is gluten free and vegan so that everybody can enjoy it together!
I love that this peach cobbler is gluten-free and vegan friendly! It’s perfect for a summer dessert. I’m making this for Labor Day weekend!!
A perfect way to celebrate the end of summer 🙂
This peach cobbler looks sad some of it pretty, I wish I had some of it right now. I love how simple it sounds and I bet it tastes fabulous!!! Can’t wait to try it. Cheers
This peach cobbler looks so absolutely pretty!! I wish I had some of it right now. I love how simple it sounds and I bet it tastes fabulous!!! Can’t wait to try it. Cheers
So simple and stunning! The photos are wonderful and the recipe sounds amazing. Great idea for taking advantage of fresh peaches. They are one of my favorite summer fruits, and am always happy to find new, easy recipes!
I have a bag of frozen peaches from a friends peach trees. Do you think they would be okay to use in this recipe?
Absolutely! I would let them mostly thaw in the baking dish before putting it in the oven so that the baking time is the same.
I made this today to use up a basket of peaches and it is AMAZING. This will be a regular dessert at our house!
Laura, thanks so much for telling me! Summer peaches just need super simple additions to make a perfect dessert!
Somehow I accidentally bought vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate. I had frozen peaches in my freezer and decided I needed to make a cobbler to go with my ice cream mistake. You know how often times great things come from our mistakes? Well that’s why I stumbled upon this wonderful recipe! And so glad I did. You know what the main thing that caught my eye with this recipe was as I was reading through the preamble? LESS sugar! Not sugar free with some fake, nasty tasting sweetener, but just using less sugar. I’m amazed at how much sugar is used in so many recipes. I make these almond and coconut flour muffins and I use 1/3rd of the sugar the recipe calls for. In fact one time I forgot to add the sugar and they still tasted good (they do have raisins in them).
I didn’t have arrowroot so substituted cornstarch with the peach mix. I’m guessing they’d be even better with arrowroot but just thought I’d let others know that the cornstarch substitution worked. Thanks for the great LESS sugar recipe! We truly need more LESS sugar recipes with our American diets!
Hi Steve! Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment – I can tell you feel the same way I do about healthier treats! Whole foods ingredients, way less sugar, let the fruit or natural ingredients shine through. Thanks for telling me about your experience with this one! I doubt that you’d notice a flavor or texture difference using the arrowroot – they are pretty much interchangeable. I avoid corn since it’s mostly GMO and more difficult to digest than arrowroot. Check out more of my dessert recipes! I always use 1/4-1/3 of the sugar of a “standard” recipe so they should be your style!
I will definitely check out more of your recipes and I’ll have to track down some arrowroot. I have to add that a great way to enjoy this cobbler – and I think you mentioned it above – is with yogurt. It’s been my go to breakfast for the past several days. We make our own plain yogurt in the instant pot and I added a tiny bit of real maple syrup and then add the cobbler as a topping. It’s so delicious!
Oh. My. Word. Words cannot describe how delicious this is with homemade peach ice cream made with coconut milk. (I only used 1 lb. of peaches, so it’s probably cake-ier than intended, but still so stinkin’ yummy!!) I absolutely stuffed myself after lunch with this dessert because I forget how filling almond flour is and ate way too much.
I forgot to mention that I did not use ANY sugar, and it is still fantastic.
Thank you so much for letting me know! You really don’t need to use sugar with how sweet peaches are! I do it more to bring out the syrup than to add sweetness. I have lots of recipes that use fruit instead of sugar — you can check them out here –> https://sunkissedkitchen.com/category/recipes/dessert/no-sugar-added/ –also, I recently remade that cobbler with berries instead of peaches — so good!
This is a delicious recipe for a gf, paleo peach crisp. I will be adding it to all of our family gatherings plus some. Thank you for all of your time and recipes!
Thanks for letting me know you’re holding on to this recipe! It’s a great one for sure. Have a great day!
Fabulous! Mi made it with apples on one side snd peaches on the other….yum!! Making it again today a week later for my neighbors. Great recipe!
This was so easy to make and insanely good! Totally hit my peach cobbler craving!
The topping could have been a bit more crispy. I left it in for 20 minutes. Otherwise, pretty good. Used canned peaches in fruit juice.
