Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler
This Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler has a fluffy cobbler topping – it’s the most perfect healthy summer dessert! This is a Paleo and vegan cobbler that you don’t want to miss.
The peak of summer demands that only the absolute best product makes its way into my baked goods. Because all the fruit this time of year is so darn good, simple is definitely best when it comes to dessert. Juicy peaches are my kryptonite this time of year. I always need to buy double whatever I need to for a recipe to make sure I don’t eat them all before the recipe gets made…it’s a frequently occurring problem.
Luckily, I managed to hold on to enough juicy, ripe peaches, as hard as it was, in order to whip up this easy peach cobbler. Since I made this blackberry and blueberry cobbler and this strawberry cobbler in recent months, I’ve been dreaming of a peach version.
Peach cobbler seems like the perfect dessert during the summer, and it’s even better with a scoop of ice cream on top. A couple of things make this version even better – like the fact that’s gluten-free, grain-free, Paleo-friendly, and vegan. It’s a dessert that’s also healthy enough to devour for breakfast.
And I’ll have no shame in admitting that the serving you see photographed, with the ice cream on top? Yup, that was breakfast one morning, and it was so good.
What ingredients do I need for gluten-free peach cobbler?
This recipe is super simple, as I think most cobblers should be! The peaches shine, with their sweet & juicy flavor shining through. For the filling, you’ll need…
- Fresh, Juicy Peaches: you can use any other stone fruits here too if you prefer, or depending on what you have.
- Coconut Sugar: for sweetness, you can use any granulated or liquid sweetener that you like in its place.
- Tapioca Flour: for thickening, add a bit more if you use a liquid sweetener.
- Cinnamon & Nutmeg: feel free to add any others you enjoy.
The cobbler topping is super simple and it can be thrown together in a bowl in a few minutes. It has quite a bit of baking powder, which helps the topping fluff up into a wonderful pastry you won’t be able to resist digging your spoon into.
- Almond Flour: use oat flour instead to keep nut-free.
- Tapioca Flour: makes the topping light and cakey.
- Baking Powder: makes the cobbler topping so puffy!
- Dairy-Free Milk: any works, including cow’s milk if not vegan.
- Coconut Oil: use refined for no coconut flavor, can use butter if not vegan.
- Vanilla Extract & Sea Salt
- Coconut Sugar: for a little sweetness!
I opted to top my gluten-free peach cobbler off with a combination of coconut sugar and cinnamon. Optional, but recommended. It adds a fabulous crunchy topping to the healthy cobbler.
Can I double this recipe?
Yes, and if you’re cooking for a crowd, please do! I recommend doubling it and baking it in an 8×8″ pan if you’re serving more than three or four people. This recipe doesn’t make a huge batch, so if you’re planning on feeding a crowd, you may want to even triple the recipe to make sure there is a healthy peach cobbler for everyone!
No matter how much you make, I doubt the leftovers will last long! Make sure you try this one out while peaches are still at their best :) enjoy!

Description
This Peach Cobbler has a crispy, fluffy topping with a simple peach filling – it’s the most perfect summer dessert! This is a gluten-free, Paleo, and vegan treat that you don’t want to miss.
Ingredients
For the peach filling
- 5 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon tapioca flour
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the cobbler topping
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk, I used almond
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar + ½ teaspoon cinnamon, to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a small baking dish or three small ramekins by greasing with a bit of coconut oil and setting on a baking sheet.
- In a bowl, combine the peaches, coconut sugar, tapioca flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to combine. Pour the fruit into the prepared pan or ramekins, dividing evenly if using more than one ramekin.
- In a different bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, salt, coconut oil, non-dairy milk, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon coconut sugar. Mix until smooth and then dollop over the peaches.
- Combine the remaining tablespoon coconut sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle over the batter.
- Bake for 25 – 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the pastry comes out clean. Serve with dairy-free ice cream!
Peach cobbler is just about the best summer dessert! I can never get enough of it. This version sounds perfect, Rachel! Wish I could just reach through my screen and grab that bowl! :)
Now THIS is how you summer the right way! Which probably means that my summer is still incomplete because I have yet to make a peach cobbler yet. What?? That’s changing asap because this is seriously making me SWOON it looks so good, girl! I’ll take all your cobbler leftovers. ;)
Haha giiirl if only there were leftovers ;) you need peach cobbler ASAP! Thanks Sarah!
Cobblers are the BEST. Love this! And I love that you used coconut sugar – I have got to stock up on some of that goodness ASAP! This looks perfect for a summer dessert and so beautiful to serve, too!
Coconut sugar is my fave! Thanks so much, Rachel :)
Peach cobbler with ice cream for breakfast pretty much seems like a beautiful way to start the day. And I have lots of peaches right now! This is absolutely beautiful.
That coconut sugar and cinnamon on top looks soooo good! And no shame in cobbler for breakfast, especially when it’s this yum!
Don’t get me wrong, I like berry cobbler, but I LOVE peach cobbler! Peaches are sooooo good this time of year! Love that this recipe is both paleo and vegan:)
Aren’t peaches the best?! Thanks, Bethany!
Peach cobbler is a favorite of mine, and I haven’t made it in ages! I love that this is healthier so I don’t feel bad when I eat WAY too much, because I will!
Haha, eating waaay too much was definitely a problem with this one! Thanks, Marcie :)
Peach cobbler is my favorite!! I tried making a vegan GF version but it sucked, lol. Yours looks so much better. That topping looks perfect! I wish I was the Sarah that helped you demolish it all. ;)
Haha you have got to try this one!! Wish I had some left for you to help demolish ;) thanks, Sarah!
I love peach cobbler! Its always nice to find a good GF recipe! I have several relatives that have a gluten allergy and its nice to have backup recipes for when they come over. Thanks!
Oooh I love peaches and fresh fruit dessert! I could eat that every single day. Love your ingredient list!
I don’t have any tapioca flour, is there anything I can use as a replacement? Looks great! Peach cobbler is our FAVORITE and we are now gluten free so we’ve been really sad. I had a fantastic gluten filled cobbler that I used to make. Lol!
Hi April! Extra almond flour in place of the tapioca flour should work, but the topping might not be quite as light and fluffy. Should still work perfectly though. Hope this helps satisfy the peach cobbler craving :)
directions say to add coconut flour to the peaches but coconut flour is not in the list of ingredients…
What did you mean? Coconut flour with the peaches or not??
Hi Mary – that was a mistype on my part, that should’ve read coconut sugar like is listed in the ingredients. I’ve updated it so it should be correct now.
This recipe was great! Tasty and not too sweet – the peach flavor really came out. Will be making this again for sure as peaches and cobblers are both my favs!
Hi! Making this for Thanksgiving so I will double this… My question is what type of pan should I use? I have pie size and deep dish pie also. : ) Just want to make sure its not too thin, or not fit at all. Can’t wait! ;)
Hi Jennifer. If you’re doubling the recipe, I’d recommend a deep dish pie pan if you want it thicker, or a 9×13″ baking dish if a little thinner is fine. If you want to have a lot of servings, I’d recommend the 9×13″ pan, and you can always increase the # of peaches slightly to make sure it’s as thick as you’d like. Hope this helps!
I’ve made this recipe about 5 times in the past two weeks since peaches are in season in Australia and our peach tree was laden with fruit this year. Thank you so much for sharing. It was simply divine.
I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying it, Kylie! I’m very jealous of your peach tree :)
Hi,
If I don’t have coconut sugar, can I use Swerve or erthytol?
Hi Nichelle, I don’t use either of those regularly but they should work!
Can you replace almond flour for coconut flour? I guess it would only take 2 tbsp.
I haven’t tried it that way so I can’t make any guarantees, but I’d try with 2-3 tablespoons. It should be a rather thick batter.
Hi there I am allergic to almond flour, I have a gluten free flour blend will that be okay to use?
Thanks!
Hi Linda, I don’t use gluten-free flour blends because they can all vary so widely in the ingredients they use…it might and probably will work, but I can’t make any guarantees since I didn’t test the recipe that way!
This is the best peach cobbler I have ever eaten!!! So thrilled it’s vegan AND gluten free. 100 stars for sure!! Thanks again for sharing. This recipe is a new family favorite. Very satisfying and comforting.
Such a compliment! I’m SO thrilled you’re loving it :) thanks so much for sharing your feedback with me, Mary.
Do you know a rough guess of how many calories a serving would be? Looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it! Trying to stay on track and eat right but I HAVE to get my dessert on every once in a while!
Hi Ashton, I don’t count calories but you can always input the recipe link on myfitnesspal.com! Hope this helps :)
Could I freeze this? Would I bake it all the way then freeze then reheat? I want to make it ahead of time for a party. Can’t wait to try it! :)
Hi Jocelyn, I haven’t tried freezing this but that should be okay!! I would bake, freeze, and reheat in the oven, like you said.
Can I substitute arrowroot flour for the tapioca?
Yes that should be fine! Enjoy :)
Can frozen peach slices be used?
Hi Angela, yes but I’d let them thaw and drain first or the filling will be too liquidy.
Hi,
I plan to make this soon. I wanted to know how many cups would 5 peaches be? I will be using frozen sliced peaches.
Secondly, Should the cobbler be okay if using frozen peaches?
Thank you.
Hi Kay! I’d say it was around 5 cups, and yes using frozen should be fine! Enjoy :)
Thank you for this recipe. It is delicious.
Can apples substitute the peaches to make Apple Cobbler?
Hi Kay – yes absolutely!! Enjoy :D
This is a great recipe but the crust needs a bit of salt. Also, how much nutmeg?
Hi Sarah – you’re totally right, the crust should definitely have a bit of salt! I’ll adjust to add a pinch. Nutmeg is listed in the top set of ingredients, it calls for 1/8th teaspoon.

Thanks for sharing, Constance!
Looking forward to trying this. How long should it cool before serving (or is it best served immediately)? How do I store any leftovers?
You can definitely serve it warm – super delicious that way! It’s best to wait about 15 minutes to serve so it’s not scalding and to give the filling a little time to set. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Looks really good. I just made fresh blackberry cobbler last week, in which I added approx. a Tbsp of maple sugar (not so sweet as regular) and about a tsp of cornstarch to the 1/2 pint of berries and then made Bob’s Red Mill’s biscuits from their mix, using clarified butter (ghee) because I can’t tolerate lactose or casein and it just gives me the reminiscence of whole butter without the things that make my gut upset. I used coconut milk mixed from powder and I also sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top. I can’t wait to try your peach version. (A friend and i were trying to think of what to call my berry dessert and couldn’t come up with the right word. Cobbler was obviously what I was trying to think of.)
Sounds delicious, Pippin! I hope you love this version too :)
