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 produce 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 for a recipe to make sure I don’t eat it all before the recipe is made… It’s a frequently occurring problem.
Luckily, I managed to hold on to enough juicy, ripe peaches, as hard as it was, 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 it’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 in the photograph, with the ice cream on top? Yup, that was breakfast one morning, and it was so good.
What ingredients are needed for a gluten-free peach cobbler?
This recipe is incredibly simple, as I believe 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 of your choice in its place.
- Tapioca Flour: For thickening, add a bit more if using 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!

Gluten-Free Vegan Peach Cobbler
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!
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 :)
