Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Gently toss the peaches until they are evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to release natural juices.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, remaining coconut sugar, remaining cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add melted coconut oil and almond milk to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
- Spread the prepared peaches evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish, including any accumulated juices.
- Pour the batter over the peaches, using a spatula to spread it as evenly as possible. Some peaches can remain visible through the batter.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vegan vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Choose ripe, in-season peaches for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- Let the peaches sit with sugar to release their natural juices, which enhances the overall taste.
- Use room temperature almond milk and melted coconut oil for the best batter consistency.
- Don't overmix the batter - a few small lumps are perfectly fine and will help create a tender topping.
- Check the cobbler around 25 minutes to prevent over-browning, as oven temperatures can vary.
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
- This dessert is best enjoyed fresh and warm, but can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and reheated.
