Paleo peach cobbler for two will satisfy your sweet tooth with this mini dessert! I’ll admit, I’m more of a chocolate dessert lover myself, but who can resist pies and cobblers?! Summer just isn’t complete without at least one healthy peach cobbler, and I do have to say that I was feeling a little uninspired looking for fresh paleo peach cobbler recipes around the web. They all had some sort of crumble topping instead of the classic fluffy pastry that we all know true cobbler to have. I pride myself on being able to turn any recipe into a paleo version without sacrificing flavor, looks, and texture so I was up for the cobbler challenge!

With a little tweaking, I created the perfect gluten-free peach cobbler with a fluffy pastry topping that no one will ever guess is paleo. This mini peach cobbler recipe is just the perfect size, too.

My favorite part is how the syrup becomes almost caramel-like and just a bit sticky around the edges of the pan. It’s absolutely divine.

Peach Cobbler Ingredients

One thing that I love about this easy peach cobbler is that the ingredients are things I already have in the pantry. The only thing I have to purchase is peaches, and you can find them everywhere when they are in season and at their best.

Here is a quick run-down of the ingredients in this Southern peach cobbler recipe:

  • Peaches – They are the perfect star of the show and take this dessert to the next level. The juicier, the better!
  • Coconut Sugar – This is where you get the extra sweetness. You could also use a sugar-free sweetener, like erythritol, if you want to cut down the sugar.
  • Blanched Almond Flour – Used for that delicious pastry topping.
  • Tapioca Flour – Another key ingredient in the topping for the best peach cobbler recipe.
  • Paleo Baking Powder – This helps to leaven the simple peach cobbler.
  • Coconut Milk – You don’t need much, but we’re using this instead of dairy milk in this quick peach cobbler recipe.
  • Ghee – Takes this peach cobbler with fresh peaches to the next level of good!
  • Vanilla – Can you even bake anything without including some vanilla? NO. It enhances the flavors in this gluten-free peach cobbler.
  • Cinnamon – This makes the homemade peach cobbler recipe taste just like the traditional cobbler recipes you are used to.

Can You Use Frozen Peaches In Place Of Fresh?

When making this mini peach cobbler, you can easily swap out fresh peaches for frozen if you want. This works well if peaches aren’t in season, so you can eat it any time of year you wish.

TIP: If using frozen peaches, it’s essential to let them thaw and drain off any juices. And, check the label on frozen peaches to make sure there are no added sugars or additives.

How Do You Defrost Frozen Peaches?

If you do decide to use frozen peaches, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. Another option is to place them in a bowl with cold water, then drain the water and juice before baking.

Do You Eat Peach Cobbler Hot Or Cold?

You can eat this fresh peach cobbler recipe hot or cold – up to you! No matter how you serve this gluten-free peach cobbler, it’s going to taste amazing.

How Do You Store Healthy Peach Cobbler?

Store this healthy peach cobbler either in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. It doesn’t have any preservatives, so it will spoil faster than store bought fresh peach cobbler recipes.

But, this mini peach cobbler recipe is always better when you eat it fresh.

Can You Freeze Paleo Peach Cobbler?

Yes, you can freeze this gluten-free peach cobbler. Wrap it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then freeze in an airtight, freezer-safe container. When you are ready to serve, place the healthy peach cobbler in the fridge overnight to thaw.

To reheat, either toss in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or place in the oven at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes.

Or, serve the fresh peach cobbler recipe at room temperature. Preferably with some ice cream! My favorites are chocolate coconut milk ice cream (who says it has to be vanilla?)

Instructions

More TIPS about this paleo recipe in the post above!

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.

  2. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and slice an X into the bottoms of the peaches. Boil 30-60 seconds, until you start to see the flesh peeling away at the X's. Remove and rinse with cold water. Peel the peaches and cut into segments.

  3. Place the peaches back into the pot with the water and coconut sugar *(I use 1 tablespoon but this may not be sweet enough for some. To have it taste more decadent, use 2 tablespoons.) Place the pot over medium heat and stir gently until it starts to bubble. Allow the sugar water to turn syrupy and thick.

  4. Place the peach mixture into a un-greased 6 1/2 inch skillet or small baking dish. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt.

  5. In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca, baking powder, melted ghee, coconut milk, vanilla, and 1 teaspoon coconut sugar. Mix until smooth and place three dollops of batter on the peaches.

  6. Combine the remaining 1/2 tablespoon coconut sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle over the batter.

  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the pastry comes out clean. Serve with coconut vanilla ice cream!

FAQs

Why won't my peach cobbler cook? ›

Make sure the peaches are piping hot before adding the topping, otherwise the bottom of the cobbler doesn't cook. To achieve this, begin making the topping as soon as the peaches go into the oven, or you can even make it first and refrigerate. Leave some space in between the topping.

Why isn't my peach cobbler Browning? ›

For crispy pastry on the bottom of the pan, bake the cobbler in the lower third of the oven. If your oven bakes hot, make an adjustment in the recipe, but if your oven doesn't bake as hot as you'd like it do, bake cobbler at a slightly higher heat to encourage bubbling and browning.

Why is my peach cobbler crust soggy? ›

Not coating the fruit in some starch.

The result is a soupy cobbler with a soggy top. Try this: Add one to two tablespoons of cornstarch to the filling. Partnered with a little sugar and lemon juice, this will make a lush sauce for the fruit.

Is it better to use canned or frozen peaches for cobbler? ›

If using frozen peaches, thaw, chop, and blot them dry before using. Readers have raved about this dessert using frozen, thawed peaches. Canned peaches are not ideal because they're already too soft and mushy.

Why is my cobbler still raw in the middle? ›

Not cooking it long enough.

A probe thermometer inserted in the center of the cobbler should reach 200°F in the thickest part of the topping. The filling should be bubbly around the sides, and the tops of the biscuits should be more deep amber than golden.

Why is my cobbler raw in the middle? ›

Mistake: Baking at too high of a temperature

Cobblers need enough time in the oven for the topping to cook through and brown, but at too high a temperature, anything above 375 ℉, the fruit filling might not be cooked by the time the top is burnt.

How do you know when peach cobbler is done baking? ›

Use your probe thermometer! According to Kitchn, when the center of your cobbler reaches 200 degrees F, it's done. Since you have a tool that ensures your cobbler is cooked through, there's one more tip that will make your cobbler experience even better. Let your cobbler rest for a bit before serving.

How do I know when my cobbler is done? ›

You take a clean tooth pick and poke it into the batter section of the cobbler. If the toothpick comes out clean, it's done. If there's raw batter clinging to it, bake it for a bit longer. This is the same thing you do when testing to see if a cake is done.

What can you use to thicken a cobbler? ›

Water and flour can be combined to make a thickening agent for peach cobbler. This mixture is commonly known as a "flour slurry."

Is cobbler dough the same as pie crust? ›

Cobbler is sometimes described as a kind of fruit pie, but strictly speaking, the two are different. Pies are made from pastry, rather than biscuit batter, and they are fully encased, with a crust at the top and the bottom, while cobblers typically only have a topping.

How do you keep the bottom crust of a peach pie from getting soggy? ›

Brush the Bottom with Corn Syrup or Egg White

Coating the inside surface of the bottom crust will create a barrier to prevent sogginess.

What is the best peach variety for cobbler? ›

Freestone: Freestone peaches have a stone that easily comes apart from the fruit's flesh, making them a perfect peach for baking and snacking.

What is the difference between a peach cobbler and a peach crisp? ›

Cobbler: A fruit dessert made with a top crust of pie dough or biscuit dough but no bottom crust. Crisp/crumble: In Alberta, the terms are mostly interchangeable. Both refer to fruit desserts similar to cobbler but made with a brown sugar streusel topping sometimes containing old-fashioned rolled oats.

What can I do with old peaches? ›

Jams, jellies and preserves: If your peaches are soft and overripe, they're perfect for cooking into a sweet spread for biscuits and toast. The softer the fruit, the faster it will cook down. To make peach jam or jelly, chop up the fruit and boil it with sugar, then bring to a simmer until it thickens.

Why is my fruit crisp runny? ›

As fruit cooks, it releases its juices, becoming saucy and soupy. This is partially what makes a crisp so delicious—but also what can turn it from a casserole-style dessert into fruit soup. (Some fruits, like red berries, contain very low amounts of pectin, meaning they won't "set up" without help).

What if my peach cobbler is too sweet? ›

Adjust your sugar: If your peaches are extra ripe, juicy, or overly sweet, scale back on the sugar in the cobbler filling by 1/2 a cup. This way, the filling will still thicken nicely and not turn runny.

What does cobbler look like when its done? ›

It's when the edges are slightly pulling away from the sides of the baking dish, and the top is golden brown. Well, the cooking time from the cobbler recipe is kind of a target. But I like for my cobbler to be nicely browned on top.
