Small Batch Peach Cobbler (Gluten-Free & vegan )

There’s something about a warm cobbler that feels like a hug in dessert form—especially when it’s peach season. This small batch peach cobbler is just the right size when hi you’re craving something sweet but don’t want a huge pan sitting on your counter. It’s made with wholesome ingredients, naturally gluten-free, and can easily be dairy-free too.

This recipe was originally created for apples, but after getting my hands on a couple of fresh, juicy peaches, I knew I had to make a peach version. The cobbler topping is tender, lightly sweet, and golden on top—and it bakes up beautifully over caramelized fruit.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Single bowl batter
• Customizable texture – more cakey or more biscuit-like, depending on your preference
• Grain-free and easy to make dairy-free
• Perfect for two (or one if you’re not sharing!)

Ingredients

  

the Peach Filling:

• 1½ medium ripe peaches, or 1 large, peeled if desired, pitted, and chopped
• 1 –1½ tablespoons maple syrup or sugar, to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice for brightness
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon tapioca starch if your peaches are extra juicy

For the Cobbler Batter:

• 3/4 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup tapioca starch
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 tablespoons dairy-free milk, 2 tablespoons for a biscuit-y topping, 3 for more cake-like
• 3 tablespoons softened or melted refined coconut oil, non-hydrogenated palm shortening, or butter

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or 2 mini ramekins.
• Make the peach filling: In a small bowl, toss chopped peaches with maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and optional lemon juice or tapioca starch. Pour into your prepared baking dish.
• Make the cobbler topping: In a separate bowl, stir together almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and sugar of choice. Add in the milk and melted coconut oil (or butter), stirring until a soft batter forms.
• Assemble: Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter over the peach filling, spreading gently to cover most of the fruit. It doesn’t need to be perfect!
• Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
• Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream for the ultimate treat.
