What You’ll Need

• 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Method

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Slice peaches into even wedges.
3. Toss sliced peaches with 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl and let rest for a few minutes to release juices.
4. Whisk together 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
5. Add 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, leaving the batter slightly lumpy.
6. Grease a baking dish and pour the batter evenly into it.
7. Spoon the peach mixture, juices and all, evenly over the batter.

8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.

9. Remove from the oven and let cool about 10 minutes before serving.

Baker’s Notes and Serving Tips

• Pick peaches that are ripe and sweet for the best natural flavor and juiciness.
• Don’t stress about lumps in the batter—they keep your cobbler tender and soft.
• Letting your cobbler cool just a bit before serving really improves the texture.
• Try adding a dash of cinnamon on the peaches to add a cozy, warm note.
• Serve it warm topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence!

• Classic combo: warm peach cobbler and creamy vanilla ice cream, or spoon it over crispy cornbread waffles for a brunch-worthy treat.
• Drizzle caramel sauce over the top when serving for a sweet surprise.
• A tall glass of iced tea or fresh lemonade pairs beautifully with peach cobbler.
• Brighten up each plate with a sprig of fresh mint for a pretty pop of color.
• Add whipped cream for a luscious creamy finish that everyone loves.

Flavor Swaps and Add-Ins

• Berry Bliss: Swap all or some peaches for blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries for a berry-licious twist.
• Apple Delight: Use sliced apples instead of peaches to enjoy a classic apple cobbler flavor—lean into warm apple-cinnamon notes like in these Apple Fritter Waffle Donuts.
• Spiced Up: Sprinkle in cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a cozy spiced cobbler that’s perfect in cooler weather.
• Nutty Crunch: Stir chopped nuts like pecans or almonds into the batter for a delightful crunch and extra flavor.
• Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut oil in place of butter, and swap regular milk for almond or oat milk for a dairy-free, delicious version.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Once your cobbler has cooled nicely for about 10 to 15 minutes, transfer any leftovers to an airtight container or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil before placing it in the fridge. This helps prevent condensation from making the topping soggy. Stored this way, your cobbler will last up to 3 days refrigerated.

• Reheating in the oven (my favorite): Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the cobbler with foil to avoid over-browning and bake for 15 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil the last 5 minutes to crisp up the top again. Reheat until nice and hot, with the filling bubbling.
• Quick microwave reheating: For singles servings, heat on medium power for 45 to 90 seconds, checking and turning halfway through. Keep in mind the microwave makes the topping soft, so oven reheating is better if you want it crispy.
• Freezing: You can freeze your assembled cobbler in an airtight dish or container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then bake at 350°F for 20 to 30 minutes until heated through. You can also bake straight from frozen at 350°F for 40 to 50 minutes, covering with foil if the top browns too quickly. This freeze-then-bake approach also works well for similar fruit bakes like an easy rhubarb dump cake recipe.

Make-ahead tips: You can mix the peach filling up to 24 hours before baking and keep it chilled. The batter can also be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. For an easy bake day, assemble everything in the pan, cover, and refrigerate overnight—just add a few extra minutes to the baking time when you’re ready.

Keep toppings like whipped cream or ice cream stored separately until serving. And always remember: don’t leave your cobbler sitting out longer than two hours to keep it safe and fresh.

Answers to Common Questions

Starting this gluten free peach cobbler recipe with fresh peaches can spark some questions, so here are answers to a few common ones:

Baked Goods

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones?

Absolutely! Frozen peaches work great here. Just thaw and drain them well before mixing with sugar to avoid making the cobbler too watery. For additional pointers on handling frozen fruit in baked desserts, see our Classic Rhubarb Crisp with Frozen Rhubarb.

Ranges, Cooktops & Ovens

How do I store leftover cobbler?

Place leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat it before eating either in the oven—my top choice—or the microwave.

Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?

Yes, you can! Make the peach mixture and batter separately in advance, then combine and bake when you want to serve. It saves time and makes entertaining easier.

What can I use instead of gluten-free flour?

If you don’t have gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour or a mix of rice flour and tapioca starch works too. Just remember your cobbler’s texture might change slightly. For a practical look at how different gluten-free blends behave, check out our gluten-free banana bread.

Is this recipe vegan-friendly?

Fruits & Vegetables

It sure is! Just swap butter for coconut oil and use a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk, and you’ll have a tasty vegan gluten free peach cobbler.
