Nothing says summer like Peach Cobbler! The juicy, refreshing peaches with a tasty cobbler and a side of ice cream is the perfect match for a summer sunset. However, if you have a gluten-free lifestyle, finding a peach cobbler you enjoy can be fairly challenging. That’s what inspired me to make a tasty, gluten-free peach cobbler that everyone will enjoy. Oh, and it’s also sugar-free as well!
Inspiration for Gluten Free Peach Cobbler
During peak peach season here in Southern California, we were invited over to a close friend’s house for dinner. They had just gotten some fresh peaches from the farmer’s market. With those delicious golden peaches, they made an absolutely divine-looking peach cobbler. Although it had sugar, dairy, and gluten in it, it looked absolutely incredible and delicious. As someone who lives with food intolerances and sensitives, I really wanted to create a version that I could enjoy without worrying about symptoms popping up. After some thorough recipe testing, I have to say, this gluten-free peach cobbler has already become a favorite in our house. We’ve been buying peaches weekly just to make this!
Let’s Get To It
Now, for the real reason why you are here, the Peach Cobbler! This isn’t your average Peach Cobbler, although most peach cobblers are delicious. This is a gluten-free peach cobbler that is sugar-free and dairy-free (with the exception to the ghee). The crust is fluffy, a little doughy, and slightly flaky on the outside. It took a few tests to get this just right (I’m sure Dan my partner didn’t mind testing). After the right combination of gluten-free flours, we finally landed on the perfect balance of gluten-free flours and I’m so excited to share it with you.
Peach Cobbler Ingredients
We can’t have a peach cobbler without delicious peaches to be the star of the show. However, we tried a few different types of peaches, both white and yellow peaches. We settled on yellow peaches for the peach cobbler. The texture and sweetness complimented the doughy crust absolutely perfectly. White peaches tasted great, and if that’s all you have access to, go for it. However, if you have a choice, buy some fresh yellow peaches!
The crust has a few more ingredients. The combination of flours we came up with was almond flour, tapioca flour, and sorghum flour. For the exact measurements, check out the recipe below. The combination of the flours allowed the top to become flaky and golden while doughy and fluffy on the inside. A few of the earlier recipe tests for our gluten-free peach cobbler, the crust was too dry. This can happen when working with gluten-free flours since they dry out and don’t stick will together. The key was adding in some sorghum flour for a little extra fluffiness.
This recipe is also refined sugar-free! Besides the peaches, there is no sugar in this entire recipe! My sweetener of choice for the crust was a little bit of stevia in combination with raw monk fruit. I feel that raw monk fruit by itself is too sweet. Stevia upfront can be sweet, but a little bitter. Combining stevia and monk fruit balances each other perfectly by balancing out the sweetness and bitterness. If you do eat sugar, but want to be refined sugar-free, you could substitute in maple syrup or coconut sugar. Personally, I prefer using stevia in the recipe, and sprinkling on raw monk fruit on top of the crust to get the “sugar” like texture.
I really can’t wait to hear your feedback on this gluten-free peach cobbler recipe! We think it turned out absolutely amazing and super enjoyable for anyone who has food sensitivities or not.
