How To Make Vegan Peach Cobbler

This easy vegan peach cobbler comes together in under an hour and fills your kitchen with the warm scent of cinnamon and bubbling peaches. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Spread the mixture evenly in the dish.

For the batter, whisk together all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. In a small bowl, mix non dairy milk (unsweetened almond or oat milk work well), melted vegan butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Do not overmix, as that can lead to a soggy topping.

Drop spoonfuls of batter over the peach filling. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vegan vanilla ice cream or dairy free whipped cream. For a gluten free option, replace the all purpose flour with a 1 to 1 gluten free baking blend.

Choosing The Perfect Peaches

The best peach cobbler starts with ripe, juicy peaches. Look for peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a sweet, fragrant aroma. If you can find farm stand peaches in season, their natural sweetness will be unmatched. For this recipe, you can use fresh or canned peaches. If using canned, drain them well and reduce the sugar in the recipe by about 2 tablespoons because the syrup adds sweetness.

Choosing The Perfect Peaches

Peeling the peaches is optional. For a smoother texture, blanch the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water. The skins slip off easily. Leaving the skins on adds fiber and a bit of color, but the skins may be slightly chewy. If you prefer a rustic cobbler, leave them on.

Choosing The Perfect Peaches
  • Fresh peaches: choose ripe, slightly soft, and fragrant.
  • Canned peaches: use peaches packed in juice or light syrup; drain well.
  • Peeling optional: blanch for easy peeling, or leave skins on for more texture.

A splash of fresh lemon juice brightens the peach flavor and helps prevent browning. Along with cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg, these simple ingredients make the filling taste like summer.

Choosing The Perfect Peaches

Storage Instructions

Refrigerator

Let any leftover cobbler cool completely, then cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. The topping may soften over time, but the flavor remains delicious. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or reheat the whole dish in a 350°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes until heated through.

Freezer

This easy vegan peach cobbler freezes beautifully. Let the cobbler cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and a layer of foil, or transfer to a freezer safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in a 350°F oven until warm. The texture of the topping will be best if you reheat in the oven rather than the microwave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you freeze vegan peach cobbler?

Yes, let the cobbler cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil or use an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in a 350°F oven until warm.

How do you make vegan peach cobbler gluten free?

Substitute the all purpose flour with a 1 to 1 gluten free baking blend that contains xanthan gum. Oats in the topping should be certified gluten free. Adjust liquid slightly if the batter seems too thick or thin.

Should peaches be peeled for cobbler?

Peeling is optional. For a smoother texture, peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunging into ice water. The skins slip off easily. Leaving the skins on adds fiber and color but can be slightly chewy.

Can I use canned peaches for vegan cobbler?

Yes, canned peaches work well. Use peaches packed in juice or light syrup, not heavy syrup, to control sweetness. Drain them well and reduce any added sugar in the recipe by about 2 tablespoons to account for the syrup.

How long does vegan peach cobbler last in the fridge?

Covered, vegan peach cobbler keeps in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. The topping may soften over time. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven to restore some crispness.

What is the best vegan butter for cobbler?

Stick style vegan butters with high fat content work best, such as Miyoko's Creamery, Earth Balance, or Country Crock Plant Butter. They create a tender, flaky topping. Avoid spreadable tub margarines as they have more water and can make the topping dense.
