Description
A simple and satisfying dessert featuring juicy peaches topped with a tender, golden crust. Perfect for using ripe peaches or frozen fruit, this cozy treat is naturally dairy-free and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
For the Peach Filling
- 4 cups sliced fresh, frozen, or canned peaches (drained) (Use ripe peaches for best flavor.)
- 1/3 cup sugar or brown sugar (A mix of both provides a deeper flavor.)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (Just a splash to brighten the flavor of the peaches.)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder (Helps thicken the peach juices.)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (Optional, but recommended for added flavor.)
For the Topping
- 1 cup all purpose flour (Can substitute with gluten-free flour.)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (Ensure it is gluten-free if needed.)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup plant milk (Oat, soy, or almond milk work well.)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Adds flavor.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, toss the sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon (if using). Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Baking
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add the plant milk, melted oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, leaving a few small lumps.
- Spoon or pour the batter over the peach filling. It doesn’t need to cover completely as it will spread while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes until the top is golden and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
- Let cool for 15 minutes before serving to help the filling thicken.
Notes
Serve warm with vegan vanilla ice cream, coconut whipped cream, or a dollop of vegan yogurt. This cobbler can be made ahead of time and reheated as needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
