How To Make This Recipe: Step-by-Step Instructions
Here is how to make this recipe and I'll show you with step-by-step instructions below:
Before beginning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and set aside two 9-inch oval baking dishes.
Step 1: Prepare The Peaches
Firstly, if you're using fresh peaches, peel the skins off and cut the peaches into small cubed pieces.
In addition, if you're using frozen peaches, allow the peaches to thaw before cutting into small cubed pieces.
Divide the cubed peaches between two 9-inch oval baking dishes.
Spread them evenly on the bottom of each dish and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare The Topping
Secondly, add all the ingredients for the topping to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble
Thirdly, add three large dollops of the topping mixture on top of the peaches in each baking dish.
Gently spread the mixture evenly over the top of the peaches.
Step 4: Add Sweetener On Top
Fourthly, sprinkle a little extra coconut sugar over the topping for baking.
Step 5: Bake The Cobbler
Fifthly, bake the cobbler at 350 degrees for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until golden on top.
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
Add an optional "Nice" Cream Topping (see directions in the FAQ section).
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! You can use the following fruits with the topping in this recipe:
1. Wild Blueberries
2. Blackberries
3. Apples
4. Mango
5. Strawberries
6. Cherries
Just make sure you dice the apples, mango, strawberries, and cherries into small pieces before adding them to your baking dish.
You can quickly and easily make a vegan ice cream topping.
Simply add two frozen bananas (that have been cut into bite-sized pieces) to a food processor with ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Process until it becomes has a smooth creamy texture like soft-serve ice cream.
Add to the top of the cobbler immediately or place the "nice" cream in an air-tight container in the freezer to firm before serving.
I used coconut oil in this recipe as a vegan substitute for butter but if you don't like the taste or smell of coconut oil, not to worry!
Just use "refined" coconut oil which has zero coconut taste or smell.
You can use either! The main thing is to let the frozen fruit thaw before adding it to your baking dish.
Here's what to do depending on whether you use fresh or frozen fruit:
Frozen Peaches - allow them to thaw before dicing. I use two bags of Whole Foods Organic Frozen Peaches to get (3) cups diced peaches needed for the recipe.
Fresh Peaches - peel the peaches and then dice into small pieces
In my opinion, yes!
Traditional S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Peach Cobbler recipes are made with traditional baking ingredients such as:
White Flour
White Sugar
Butter
Milk
My healthier vegan version is made with peaches, almond flour, oat flour, coconut oil, pure vanilla extract, baking powder, Himalayan pink salt and is sweetened with coconut sugar.
Karielyn's Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions
Here are some of my expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:
Peaches. Can I Use Frozen or Fresh Peaches?
Good news...you can use either!
- Frozen Peaches - allow them to thaw before dicing. I use two bags of Whole Foods Organic Frozen Peaches to get (3) cups diced peaches needed for the recipe.
- Fresh Peaches - peel the peaches and then dice into small pieces
Almond Flour + Oat Flour. I haven't tested the recipe using any other gluten-free flours or substitutions.
Coconut Sugar. Feel free to use another organic unrefined granular sweetener if you prefer. In addition, feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener used in the recipe.
For example, I didn't add any sweetener to the peach layer because I felt the peaches gave it enough sweetness. However, feel free to add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut sugar if you'd like it a little sweeter.
Coconut Oil. If you don't like the taste or smell of coconut oil, use organic refined coconut oil which has zero coconut taste or smell.
Baking Powder. Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the best results.
Vanilla Extract. If you need this recipe to be 100% Medical Medium® Compliant, use organic vanilla bean powder or alcohol-free vanilla extract.
Himalayan Pink Salt. This is my salt of preference. However, you can always substitute with sea salt.

Alice says
I loved how simple this was with items I always have on hand! Made a triple batch for a get together with a large 14” casserole, plus 2 small ones for gifts. Making a double batch today, an 11” casserole plus a single 8 x 5. Added blueberries to the peaches this time. My only change was using maple syrup instead of the coconut sugar. Making the liquid amount equal to the liquid amount in the recipe. A big hit with all! I love having a gf dish to serve that everyone loves and there were few other allergens! Thank you for this lovely recipe!!
