Take advantage of peach season with this paleo and vegan peach cobbler! It’s sweetened with unrefined coconut sugar and spiced with a touch of sweet cinnamon, with a warm and crisp grain-free pastry topping that’s downright addicting. A great gluten free, dairy free dessert for summer!
With all the summer fruits and veggies, I’ve had TOO much recipe inspiration lately and can’t keep up with the ideas.
I HATE having to choose between recipe ideas and often obsess about making the right choice.
As a result, I decide to drive myself nuts and just make all the things, which sometimes backfires when I burn myself out in the kitchen.
Anyway, this is what I’ve been dealing with this week – too many recipes, too little time, space and energy!
But, one thing I have absolutely no regrets about is this paleo and vegan peach cobbler.
Of course, after making this one I wanted to make one with just about every other summer fruit out there right now. It’s hard to hold back after a dessert as yummy as this one!
At first, I considered making this a “crisp” instead of a cobbler, similar to my maple pecan apple crisp.
But, I’d actually never made an official cobbler recipe before and wanted to give it a go.
Of course, since this is a paleo cobbler the topping is not exactly like the traditional self rising pastry topping you might associate with a cobbler.
However, it’s incredibly delicious and has a great texture, similar to a cookie in my opinion.
Are you going to turn down sweet gooey peaches with a cookie baked right on top of it?
I think not. Nope, you will congratulate yourself on your awesomeness and dig in with double-spoon abandon.
One thing about this recipe that I’ll note is that I used aluminum free baking powder in it, which is not technically paleo since it’s made with cornstarch.
Now, if you’re opposed to using baking powder due to it containing corn, have no fear – you can make your own paleo version!
Simply mix 1 tsp baking soda with 2 tsp cream of tartar – you can double or triple this if you plan to use more than a little bit.
It works just as well as baking powder for most purposes, and comes in handy for paleo baking recipes that need more than just baking soda.
I’ve made this recipes in various baking dishes – two small pie dishes, one 9″ round, and a 9″ square dish and it will work with anything.
The ice cream, however, is non-negotiable in my opinion! Yes, yes.
A peach cobbler is actually delicious as-is, but the ice cream gives it that dreamy, comforting yet exciting FUN factor that is 100% worth it!
You can make your own homemade coconut milk ice cream, or buy one at the store – makes things easy!
And now I’m a little bit sad that my peach cobbler is long gone (I think Adam and I finished everything within 2 days – I actually hid it from the kids, yes that was a mean-mom move!)
However, I couldn’t be happier to pass the cobbler torch onto your guys, and then go make myself a strawberry one, perhaps (this time I’ll share with the kids!)
Okay, get the peaches going and let’s make this cobbler!

For the cobbler topping, In a large bowl, mix together all topping ingredients until a smooth batter forms.

Divide the batter into 4 parts and drop each by spoon or a small spatula over the peaches.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the pastry top is browed and set.

Cobblers or pies or crisps are my favorite kind of desserts! You have such a God given gift of being adventurous around food. You aren’t afraid to try things you haven’t tried before, and this is BEAUTIFUL!
Aw, thank you Emily!
Can you use flash frozen fresh peaches that have been thawed?
I’m wondering the same. I’d love to try this recipe and peaches aren’t in season here.
Think I could use apricots? We have a tree and have hundreds. Thanks!
I think almost any fruit would work, however not every fruit would need the first baking of 10-15 mins, they might just need the time baked with the topping 🙂
Michele this looks SO delicious! I can honestly say that I don’t think I’ve EVER made a cobbler…and that totally needs to change! I usually stick to pies and crisps! 😉 I’m loving baking with berries lately, especially raspberries!
I need to find good raspberries! They actually blend so well with peaches, the wheels are spinning!
Mmmm! Peach cobbler is my dad’s favorite! I have to say that peaches are my favorite summer fruit to bake with, although cherries are a close second. Really, any stone fruit will steal my heart 🙂
I think this cobbler is calling my name – I’ve bookmarked the page so I can make it soon!
All the best,
Brynn
Hi Michelle,
Tonight was the second time I made this. I added fresh sliced strawberries and it was slamming!! Thanks so much for this recipe!!
Sounds yummy! So happy you like it!
Hey there. Just a suggestion, I know that ads are what pay the bills, but there are so many on your posts that it make it very hard to navigate your site. Especially from a mobile phone. When it’s this frustrating, it just makes me want to close the page 🙂
Thanks for your recipe!
I made this last night, and it turned out so good. Definitely the best grain-free peach cobbler I’ve tried. Thanks for a great recipe!
I made this cobbler for company this past weekend. Since fresh peaches aren’t in season I used lovely Spanish jarred peaches from Trader Joe’s. I skipped the baking of the first step. I should of skipped the sweetener in the first step since the peaches were in a fruit based syrup. That being said the recipe was a huge hit. I’m excited to try this with other fruits! The topping is scrumptious and just right sweet. I had leftovers for breakfast. This was also quick to throw together (fresh fruit would take more time obviously) This will be a staple recipe in out home!
While this recipe tasted great, I could not give it a full 5 stars because the texture of the crust was a little more like a brittle and less like a normal cobbler crust. Also, (and this is a personal preference) I would have liked a little more crust.
Where’s the nutrition information
So yummy!! Made this today with some peaches from the farmers market. Delish! I doubled the topping recipe and made a thin base underneath the peaches and it worked nicely. Will def be making this all summer while peaches are in season! With some vanilla ice cream ??
I made this tonight and found the topping to look more like drop biscuits and not as smooth/flat as yours. But it tasted great, and the family must have agreed, it’s almost all gone already. Thanks!?
Glad it mostly worked out well! For a flatter topping you can add a touch more milk next time.
Could I use ghee instead of coconut oil?
I omitted the sugar from the fruit portion and used half the sugar in the crust and it turned out fabulous!! I love crumbles but didn’t have the energy to break out the food processor. This was a great alternative that mixed up quickly on a week night. Thanks!!
I had exactly six peaches that were super ripe and a day or two away from going mushy and I was scanning Pinterest for recipes. Omg… this cobbler is amazing. I love that there’s not a ton of sugar and the crust turned out perfect!! I had to stop myself from nibbling on it once it was out of the oven.
Made for company and it was a big HIT! Used farmers market fresh ripe peaches and the recipe to a T. Easy and wonderful. Tha ks for all your great recipes!
Made this twice. Onve with peaches and once with apples. I particularly love the crust!
Can I use canned peaches and how many cans if so?
Yes. I love this recipe. Ive made it with peaches, pears and my latest, blueberries. Im going to try apples and raisins next. So easy and absolutely delicious.
Can you use another type of flour like coconut or cassava? I have a sensitivity to the almonds.
Wondering the same thing!
Love love love this recipe. So easy, fast, and delicious. I make it often with whatever fruit I have too much of, and it’s never disappointed. My 17 month old is also a huge fan and could probably eat the whole dish if I let him. Thank you!
A friend just brought over a ton of white nectarines, we had to omit cinnamon because of allergies…we doubled this and made a 9×13 and it was awesome! So excited for healthy recipes we can proudly bring to functions!
I just made this and it is doughy, the mix never hardened. I have reviewed the recipe 20 times trying to figure out what I did wrong. Its just a brown, wet mix on top after baking for 22 minutes. Advice?
I have made this recipe several times, I never left a comment. I don’t know if you updated the page as you do not mention how much lemon juice in your recipe list. Also you have a typo in your instructions. Per your blueberry cobbler recipe you used 1 tsp of lemon juice so I used this amount for this recipe. Substituted avocado oil for coconut oil. Flax seed milk for almond milk.
I love your recipes and this one is a fam fav!! Do we need to refrigerate left overs? Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us!
We finally got fruit fruit from our peach tree, so I tried this recipe! It was delicious! Husband couldn’t get enough! I don’t use vanilla (hard to find it without alcohol) and we didn’t miss it. Great recipe!!
So yummy. I’ve been craving peach cobbler and this was amazing!
I made this recipe last week and it was the best tasting cobbler I have ever made. It was easy and I followed the recipe exact and it came out perfect. Lasted about three days.
saw it on youtube
This recipe was the star of our Thanksgiving meal, for both me and my mom! She had a triple bypass 5 weeks ago, and she’s diabetic. I’m taking care of her, and I’m paleo. She LOVES peach cobbler, and this recipe allowed her to not only have it and enjoy it, but she enjoyed it safely. THANK YOU for helping me bring her so much joy.
Really great, a recipe i’ll be making more often in peach season, just love baked desserts! As i didn’t have maple or coconut sugar, i used honey instead and it was yum! I only found the batter too little. Second time i made it, did the batter at 1.5x and was perfect. We’re having leftovers tonight, can’t wait!!
So yummy. Not too sweet. Perfect and easy. Michele’s recipes never let us down.
