    About Peach Cobbler with Coconut Flour

    Picture this: a warm scoop of peaches covered in a biscuit-like topping with some vanilla ice cream melting on top... Dessert doesn't get much better than that! Unless of course you find a recipe that doesn't give you a massive sugar crash.

    That's this gluten free coconut peach cobbler!

    Usually when I go to make peach cobbler, I realize that the ingredients are not ingredients that make me feel my best. Lots of sugar, white flour, butter, etc. just don't make my body feel energetic and satisfied.

    Don't get me wrong, I am all for desserts made with those ingredients, but only on rare occasions. And to be honest, I know how miz those desserts are going to make my stomach feel and my head hurt that I don't even want to eat them very often.

    Sometimes I want a sweet treat that isn't going to make me feel awful thirty minutes after enjoying it.

    So I went on a search for a peach cobbler that had ingredients that make me feel a little more nourished, and I found this one. I changed it up a little bit to my personal preferences.

    I find that adding lemon juice and some extra cinnamon really brighten the peaches, and almond extract is one of my favorite additions to recipes to give that sweet flavor without a bunch of added sugar.

    Coconut Peach Cobbler is peach cobbler made with peaches that are covered in a coconut flour crust. The coconut flavor is very light and adds a nuttiness to this delicious dessert recipe.

    Why this gluten free peach cobbler recipe works

    This recipe for gluten free peach cobbler uses coconut flour and coconut milk for the crust. The filling is basically peaches, lemon juice, and cinnamon, so it's not overly sweet.

    Despite all the coconut ingredients in the recipe, this doesn't actually have much of a coconut flavor. Seriously. It does not taste like a super-coconutty peach cobbler.

    And this is coming from a non-coconut fan. I like a tiny bit of coconut but not a lot, and I love this Coconut Peach Cobbler.

    Ingredients

    Peaches: You can use fresh or frozen peaches in this recipe. I prefer frozen because it makes the recipe even easier to prepare. However, you can simply peel and slice fresh peaches to make 1 pound.

    Coconut Flour: coconut flour is not the same thing as flaked coconut or coconut butter or ground coconut. You can find coconut flour at almost any grocery store in the specialty flour aisle (which is usually next to the regular wheat flour).

    Almond extract: while this isn't mandatory and can be skipped to make this recipe nut-free, I highly suggest using it if you have it. It gives a little extra sweetness and nuttiness to the recipe that is hard to beat.

    Maple syrup: be sure to use 100% maple syrup and not imitation syrup. I only tested the recipe using maple syrup, but you might be able to use honey if that's all you had on hand.

    • lemon juice 3 tablespoons: $0.40

    Recipe Tips

    This simple peach cobbler recipe will become a dessert you turn to time and time again even if you aren't eating a gluten free or dairy free diet. Plus, you can make it year round thanks to the fact that you can use fresh or frozen peaches.

    Make Ahead Tips

    You can prepare this up to 4 hours in advance. Place in the oven when dinner is almost ready to be served, so your peach cobbler will be ready for dessert.

    Variations

    Substitutions

    Also, if you don't have coconut milk, you can use regular milk. I tested it with 2% milk and it worked well. You could also substitute butter for the coconut oil if desired. Obviously, this would make the recipe no longer dairy free.

    Storage Tips

    You can keep this tightly covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven, covered, on 300*F until warmed through. 

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does this taste like coconut?

    This does have a slight coconut flavor, but it isn't crazy intense. I am not a huge fan of coconut and still really enjoy this peach cobbler.

    Nutrition benefits of this recipe

    This entire recipe uses only 1/4 cup maple syrup, so it is lower in added sugar than almost any peach cobbler recipe you will find. Plus, the coconut flour and peaches are high in fiber which gives added health benefits.

    Coconut Peach Cobbler is safe for those consuming a dairy free or gluten free diet as well.

    Is coconut flour healthy?

    Coconut flour is an interesting flour alternative because it is super absorbent and you need a lot less than you'd normally use for regular flour. It is also high in fiber which makes it a nutritious option because it can help slow digestion (keeping you from getting an instant sugar crash) as well as offer heart healthy benefits.

    What to serve with Coconut Flour Peach Cobbler

    To be clear, this is dessert. But it's dessert that is a little kinder to my body. And it's a dessert that is really delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some yogurt or some whipped cream.

    My personal preference is vanilla ice cream, so the ice cream slightly melts into the peaches.

    Final thoughts:

    I love this recipe for a more nourishing take on peach cobbler. While it's still dessert, it has less sugar than most peach cobbler recipes. Plus, the fiber in the coconut flour and peaches help stave off the sugar crash. It's also a great option for those not eating gluten or dairy.

      I was happy with how this turned out! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I'm still new at baking without wheat and Im really trying to make coconut flour my new best freind. This recipe gives me hope. I made a change to the recipe by seperatly beating the eggs with the lemon juice until it doubled in size. I added the wets in and sifted the dry ingredients to gently combine. In place of the almond extract I blended a tablespoon of almond butter in the wet ingredients and added vanilla extract to the peaches. This was super flavorful and the texture was good. I took mine out at 45 minutes and it was still very wet inside but the outside was perfectly browned. I didn't mind the wetness but next time I'll let it cook a bit longer. Also, I used milk, butter and fresh peaches.

      Hi, just bought a box of peaches from the visiting peach tree truck. My daughter and I were looking for a healthier cobbler recipe and stumbled upon this. I did not see anything about freezing it (we have a large quantity of peaches). Can you tell me if you have done so in the past and whether it had any impact on the flavor and/or how you thawed/reheated it? Thank you.

        Hi Sue!! How fun! It's hard to beat fresh peaches in the summertime ๐Ÿ™‚
        To be honest, I am not sure how this would be after freezing because I haven't tried it myself.
        However, you could totally freeze your fresh, sliced peaches and use them for this cobbler later!! I actually tested the recipe with frozen peaches multiple times (and they are used in this video).
        Hope this helps, and enjoy!! xo

      Hi Meme, this recipe was simple, easy to make, and brought out the most unique flavors in using almond extract! I have been trying to reduce or eliminate refined sugar for the past couple of months and using maple syrup in the topping was a perfect choice for this recipe! Not too sweet and allowed the peach flavors to taste natural and not sugary like the usual peach cobbler. Thank you for sharing!

      We liked this so much that the batter was turned into my daughters 1st birthday smash cake! Good consistancy, great flavor. This recipe was a fateful find with some peaches sitting on my counter calling to be used AND months of searching for a cake recipe for my dairy, gluten free daughter! Nailed it
