    Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler

    This easy gluten-free peach cobbler is full of jammy peaches topped with a soft biscuit-like topping that gets spread on top before baking. No need to make individual biscuits! The crisp golden-brown topping gives way to a soft biscuit that soaks up the warm peaches and vanilla ice cream making for an absolutely delicious dessert.

    Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler Recipe

    You know when a dessert is really good because I stand over the stove, eating it straight out of the pan with a spoon. This is my way of claiming it all for myself. And that's exactly what I did with the first test batch of this gluten-free peach cobbler. ALL MINE.

    Why This Peach Cobbler is Easy and Amazing

    I've made many cobblers before, but I've always it with individual biscuits neatly organized on top.

    For this gluten-free peach cobbler and my gluten-free blueberry cobbler, you'll instead make fluffy buttermilk biscuit-style topping that is simply dolloped on top and baked. Easy peasy. Picture a crisp buttery topping shell that gives way to a fluffy biscuit nestled into jammy peaches.

    In all my testing of gluten-free biscuits, I found that the fluffiest most flavorful biscuits were made with almond flour. Why mess with a good thing?!

    This soft and tender biscuit-like cobbler topping is fluffy, with a lightly sweetened crumb that is oh so comforting. The biscuit topping expands down into the jammy brown sugar peach filling. 

    Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler a la Mode

    How to tell if my peaches are ripe for cobbler?

    For peach cobbler you need ripe but firm peaches. They shouldn't be mushy, but should have some give when you squeeze them. Ripe peaches have the most flavor and will bake up soft and jammy. Your cobbler is only going to be as delicious as the fruit you use, so make sure your peaches have flavor. 

    To Peel or Not To Peel....

    I don't peel the peaches for cobbler. The peels seem to disappear into the delicious jamminess of the roasted fruit. If you're really averse to peach skin (like my mom), you can quickly peel the peaches by cutting slits in the skin at the top and bottom, blanching them in boiling water for 20 seconds, then into an ice bath. The skins will slide right off. 

    Can I use frozen peaches?

    Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Defrost the peaches and drain off the bulk of any liquid (do not press them) before tossing them with the rest of the ingredients. 

    Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler Ingredients

    Here's Why I Use These Ingredients:

    • Super-fine blanched almond flour: The flavor booster is the almond flour, adding sweet nuttiness that pairs with the jammy fruit. It also adds loads of moisture. 
    • Tapioca flour: Tapioca flour rises in the oven, creating fluffiness to the biscuits and lends to the chewiness. 
    • Gluten-free oat flour: Oat flour gives a soft cakey texture to baking. Here it adds the softness and structure to the oat flour, without being dense. Its flavor complements almond flour, adding warm, slightly nutty, wholesome notes, reminiscent of an oaty streusel-topped crumble.
    • Cold Unsalted Butter: Cold butter will melt in the oven, creating little pockets of seam within the biscuit. 
    • Buttermilk: Using real buttermilk (versus a milk + vinegar sub) gives these biscuits a rich tangy flavor. Go all in.

    Ingredients

    Peach Filling
    • 8 cups (3 lbs) (3lbs) sliced ripe, but firm peaches, about 5-6 peaches, cut into ⅛-1/4 inch slices
    • ¼ cup (75 g) + 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoons Bob’s Red Mill tapioca flour
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    Almond Biscuit Topping
    • 112 g (1 cup) super-fine blanched almond flour
    • 98 g (¾ cup + 2 tablespoons) Bob’s Red Mill tapioca flour
    • 95 g (¾ cup + 2 tablespoons) gluten-free oat flour
    • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ cup (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes (see note for dairy-free option)
    • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons buttermilk
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    INSTRUCTIONS

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
    • Toss the filling together. Mix the brown sugar with tapioca flour in a large mixing bowl, then toss in the sliced peaches, lemon juice, vanilla, and spices. Dump into a 2-quart baking dish.
    • Sift dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
    • Work in cold butter cubes. Either with a pastry cutter or your hands, quickly work the butter into the flour until the largest pieces of butter are no larger than a pea and the dough is crumbly.
    • Add buttermilk and whisk with a fork until the flour is just absorbed by the buttermilk, using your hands to mix, if needed. Dollop and spread topping evenly over peaches. Sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over the top.
    • Bake for 40-50 minutes 
      until the topping is golden brown and the peaches bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream!

    Notes

    Frozen Peaches: You can use frozen peaches. Defrost the peaches and drain off the bulk of any liquid (do not press them) before tossing them with the rest of the ingredients. 
    Dairy-Free Option: To make this recipe dairy-free, replace the butter with cold plant butter and the buttermilk with full-fat canned coconut milk, well-mixed.

    Subbing In Other Fruit

    Keep the topping the same, but sub in your favorite seasonal fruit, by weight: apples, pears, fuyu persimmons, berries, other stone fruit work great! 
    You can also use frozen fruit. For frozen berries, no need to defrost first! For all other frozen fruit, thaw and lightly drain before using.
