Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced peaches with the sugar, cornflour, vanilla extract and cinnamon until the fruit is evenly coated. Pour the peach mixture into the bottom of a baking dish and spread out evenly.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the ground almonds, gluten-free rolled oats, baking powder, sugar and salt until combined.

Step 3

In a small jug, whisk together the melted butter or coconut oil, Greek yoghurt and egg until smooth. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything comes together to form a thick, sticky dough.

Step 4

Using a spoon, drop large dollops of the biscuit dough over the peaches, leaving some gaps so the fruit can peek through as it bakes.

Step 5

Bake for 30-35 minutes until the peach juices are bubbling around the edges and the almond oat topping is deep golden brown.

Step 6

Leave the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of yoghurt or your favourite dairy-free alternative.

Gluten-free peach cobbler FAQs

Can I use tinned peaches instead of fresh peaches?

Yes. Tinned peaches are a convenient cupboard alternative and work well in this peach cobbler recipe. Drain them thoroughly before using and adjust the granulated sugar if they’re already packed in syrup.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Absolutely. Swap the butter for coconut oil and use a dairy-free yoghurt alternative in the biscuit topping. Serve with a dairy-free ice cream or yogurt alternative if desired.

Can I use another type of fruit?

This cobbler topping works beautifully with a variety of fruits. Try using apples, berries, plums or a mixture of seasonal fruits. You may need to adjust the sweetness depending on the fruit you choose.

How should I store leftovers?

Cover and store any peach cobbler leftovers in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving for the best texture. If you want to freeze some portions, allow the cobbler to cool completely, cover tightly or transfer to an airtight freezer-safe container and freeze for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating in the oven until warmed through.
