What You’ll Need
Gather these simple ingredients for your Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler Recipe:
- 4 cups peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3/4 cup almond or cashew milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup dairy-free butter
- 1 cup gluten-free flour mix
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s Make It Together! Follow these cozy steps to create your delicious peach cobbler:
Prepare the Peaches: In a medium pot, combine the peaches, 3/4 cup sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes together and bubbles.
Mix the Milk and Vinegar: In a cup, stir together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to create a lovely buttermilk effect.
Melt the Butter: Place the dairy-free butter in a 9 x 13” casserole dish. Preheat your oven to 350°F and pop the casserole dish inside to melt the butter, which should take about 5–6 minutes.
Make the Batter: In a medium bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the milk mixture and stir until combined—this batter will be thick and creamy.
Assemble the Dish: Once the butter has melted, carefully remove the casserole dish from the oven. Pour the batter over the melted butter, spreading it out gently if needed—don’t stir! Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the top without stirring.
Bake: Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling with goodness.
Variations & Creative Twists
If you’re feeling adventurous, here are some fun ways to customize it:
- Berry Blend: Add other fruits like blueberries or blackberries for a delightful mix of sweet and tart flavors, creating a zesty cobbler.
- Coconut Twist: Top your cobbler with toasted coconut flakes for a tropical touch that complements the peach flavor wonderfully.
- Spice It Up: Sprinkle in a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg into the peach mixture for a warm, inviting spice that elevates this dessert to new heights.
- Indulgent Chocolate Drizzle: For chocolate lovers, a drizzle of melted dairy-free chocolate on top just before serving will take your peach cobbler over the top!
