Small batch peach cobbler

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, 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 15 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.
