Here’s a simple and delicious gluten-free peach cobbler recipe that’s perfect for a warm dessert. It keeps the classic sweet, juicy peach flavor while using gluten-free ingredients.
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
For the filling
- 4 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to sweetness of peaches)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (to thicken)
For the gluten-free topping
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum included)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar.
2. Prepare the Filling
- In a medium bowl, combine peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and cornstarch.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
3. Prepare the Topping
- In a bowl, mix gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until a smooth batter forms.
4. Assemble
- Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the peach filling. It doesn’t need to cover completely; it will spread and bake over the peaches.
5. Bake
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until topping is golden brown and peaches are bubbly.
6. Serve
- Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or yogurt if desired.
Tips
- Frozen peaches: Thaw and drain excess liquid before using to avoid a watery cobbler.
- Extra flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of almond extract to the topping.
- Crispier topping: Sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking.
💡 Shortcut:
- You can use canned peaches in light syrup—just drain well and reduce sugar slightly in the filling.
If you want, I can give a low-sugar, dairy-free version that’s also gluten-free and perfect for seniors or those managing sugar intake.
Do you want me to provide that version?
