Gluten Free Peach Cobbler Recipe

This gluten free peach cobbler recipe is super simple recipe that takes under fifteen minutes to prepare.

You can enjoy it plain or top this gf peach cobbler with your favorite vanilla ice cream, or dairy-free vanilla ice cream.

You can use fresh, canned, or frozen peaches to make this gluten free peach cobbler.

The only difference is that the peaches will be softer if you use canned peaches versus fresh or frozen peaches.

That's because the peaches were heated during processing and canning.

This post includes step-by-step instructions and substitution solutions so you can make perfect gluten-free cobbler every time.

How to make Gluten Free Peach Cobbler

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the peaches, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice.
2. Bring to a boil and the continue to boil for 2 more minutes. This will help the peach filling thicken.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the peach mixture into a 9x9 pan.
4. For the topping: Add the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and baking powder to a medium mixing bowl and stir until combine.
5. Add in the shortening. Using two forks or a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until it is crumbly.
6. Mix together the egg and milk, and add it to the dry ingredients.
7. Stir just until combined.
8. Drop topping by tablespoonfuls onto filling. If desired press the dough down to make it flat. Bake as directed.

These steps match the photos above and are for illustration purposes. Please see the printable recipe below for the full ingredients and directions.

Working with Gluten-Free Flours

When working with or measuring gluten-free flour, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level. Do not scoop your measuring cup into the gluten-free flour.

The best method really is to weigh the gluten-free flour but I don't have the ingredient weights for all my recipes yet.

Dairy-Free Peach Cobbler

To make this gluten free peach cobbler dairy-free, simply replace the milk in the cobbler topping with your favorite dairy-free milk.

We've used almond milk and flaxmilk.

Cornstarch Substitute

If you can't have cornstarch, or you've run out, you can also use arrowroot to make the peach cobbler filling.

What gluten free flours can I use?

You can use my personal gluten free flour blend (#1 or #2) or Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Flour Blend (not the all purpose) in this recipe.

Most blends that have a combination of flours and starches work well in this recipe. Just note the texture will be different from blend to blend.

Storing Peach Cobbler

You can store this gluten free peach cobbler for up to 24 hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

This peach cobbler is best enjoyed the day it is made due to the cobbler topping softening. Serve warm.
