Gluten Free & Vegan 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.
- The whole thing, start to finish, is ready in 35 minutes (using the Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven!).
- 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!
If you love old fashioned desserts, check out this Bread Pudding recipe! You can make it with gluten free bread also.
How to Make Gluten Free Peach Cobbler
I highly recommend starting with slightly overripe peaches. Save the beautiful ones to grill or toss on summer salads.
If your peaches aren’t ripe, you won’t end up with the syrupy base that makes this so incredible.
Peach cobbler is meant to have a rustic look. I tried rolling up the batter into biscuit shapes and distributing it around the tops of the peaches, but it ended up looking too formal. Summery desserts deserve a slightly messy, “I’m too busy enjoying LIFE”, kind of look.
So once you’ve dropped your almond flour biscuit dough around the top, go ahead and get in there with a spatula and mess it up a little.
Another great summer dessert to try is this delicious gluten free strawberry rhubarb pie!
The Perfect Paleo Peach Cobbler Recipe
Summer desserts should:
- Let the sweetness of the fruit shine through. Oh, summer peaches <3
- Go together in 10 minutes or less.
- Be easy enough to make before dinner and serve after (this bakes in less than 30 minutes in the Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven!).
This Paleo & Vegan Peach Cobbler ticks off all of those requirements.
As much as I love cooking healthy dishes, you won’t see me in my kitchen meticulously weaving a lattice pie crust. Especially in the summer when half of my day is spent outside chasing my toddler through the sprinklers or running him to his various toddler activity classes.
That’s one of the reasons I am so in love with my Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven.
It works just like a regular oven, only better. There aren’t very many dishes that I opt to cook in my full sized oven over this handy countertop oven.
Some perks of using this oven in the summer:
- It doesn’t require preheating — meaning less time in the kitchen!
- Dishes like this delicious peach cobbler bake in a fraction of the time — this takes 45 minutes in a standard oven, but 28 minutes in my countertop oven.
- While the food inside is browned and seared and perfectly baked, broiled, or grilled, my kitchen stays cool. When I first received it last summer, I was instantly hooked on its value knowing that while temps were soaring outside, I could still bake dinner inside without fear of making everyone miserable.
Summery Dessert or a Summery Breakfast!
You know you’ve found dessert nirvana when eating the leftovers for breakfast the next day feels a-okay.
We’ve enjoyed this cobbler all summer topped with scoops of vanilla bean frozen yogurt.
Keep this vegan by serving it with a vanilla coconut or cashew based ice cream. I am pretty sure there are some solid paleo options as well!
And — most importantly, this makes a STELLAR breakfast topped with a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
However you top it, I am sure you’ll love it as much as we do!

Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
- 4 pounds peaches ripe
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Biscuit Topping
- 6 tablespoons almond milk unsweetened
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 3 tablespoons honey sub date syrup or coconut nectar for vegan
- 1 teaspoon vanilla *sub almond extract to play up the almond flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups almond flour blanched
- 1/4 cup arrowroot
Instructions
- Thinly slice peaches and add to a 9×9 baking dish.
- Sprinkle lemon juice, arrowroot, coconut sugar and cinnamon over peaches, and gently toss to evenly coat.
- In a mixing bowl, add almond milk, coconut oil, honey (or date syrup), vanilla, sea salt and baking soda. Stir until mixed well.
- Add the almond flour and arrowroot, and then stir until a thick cookie-dough like batter is formed.
- 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.
- Cover the baking dish is foil. This is important because almond flour browns/burns more quickly than regular flour.
- Bake in the Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven on Bake/Reheat at 400º F for 20 minutes. Remove foil, and return to oven for an additional 10 minutes to brown.
- If baking in a conventional oven, preheat oven to 400º F. 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.

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

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.
