Best Vegan Peach Cobbler
Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Peach Filling:
- 4 cups fresh, frozen, or canned peaches (sliced)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for thickening)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred plant-based milk)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking and a perfectly golden crust.
Step 2: Prepare the Peach Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Gently stir until the peaches are evenly coated.
💡 Tip: If using fresh peaches, peel them first for a smoother texture. If using canned peaches, drain them well.
Step 3: Transfer to a Baking Dish
Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with oil or vegan butter. Pour the peach mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 4: Make the Cobbler Topping
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5: Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the topping light and fluffy.
Step 6: Assemble the Cobbler
Carefully pour the batter over the peach filling, spreading it out to cover the surface evenly. Don’t worry if it looks thin— it will rise beautifully as it bakes!
Step 7: Bake Until Golden
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to thicken slightly.
🍑 Serving Tip: Enjoy warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
Tips for the Best Vegan Peach Cobbler
✅ Choosing the Best Peaches – If using fresh peaches, go for ripe but firm ones for the best flavor and texture. If they’re too hard, let them ripen at room temperature.
✅ Adjusting Sweetness – Taste your peaches before baking. If they’re already sweet, reduce the sugar slightly.
✅ Thickening the Filling – Cornstarch helps create a thicker, jam-like peach filling. If you prefer it thicker, add an extra ½ tablespoon of cornstarch.
✅ Crispier Topping – Sprinkle a little cane sugar on top before baking for a slightly crunchy crust.
✅ Making It Gluten-Free – Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend for a delicious gluten-free version.
