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!





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 :)
