Peach cobbler is and always has been one of my favorite desserts– especially in the Summer. My family used to make it at the beach every Summer and I have the best memories of enjoying it (P.S. it’s the best when still warm with a scoop of ice cream.) I created this peach cobbler recipe with a slight twist in the form of some cinnamon streusel— it’s sort of a cross between a peach cobbler and my coffee cake recipe, and I really love the way it turned out. It’s entirely gluten free, refined sugar free, and vegan— enjoy!
INGREDIENTS:
dry
2 cups oat flour
1 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
wet
1/2 cup oat milk (or any dairy free milk)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 ripe peaches, diced into chunks
cinnamon streusel
1 cup oat flour
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
3/4 cup coconut sugar
1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
dash of sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Get out 3 bowls, one for mixing wet ingredients, one for dry, and one for the cinnamon streusel. Mix together all of the wet ingredients (except the peaches) until fully combined, mix together all of the dry ingredients until fully combined, and then stir the wet and dry ingredients together until a batter forms.
Cut peaches into bite sized chunks and set aside. Toss together the cinnamon streusel until its the consistency of sand, but sticks together if you squeeze it between your fingers.
In a baking dish (I used an 8 x 8 square, but whatever you have will work), line with parchment paper or grease generously, then pour in a layer of batter followed by about 1/3 of the peaches, then sprinkle with cinnamon streusel. Continue this layering process until everything has been used, and make sure you lightly press the peaches into the batter before baking. You’ll want a little extra for the top layer of streusel so make sure you save enough. Press the top layer of streusel lightly into the cobbler so that it gets baked in.
Bake for approximately 1 hour, feel free to check after 50 to 55 minutes, but 1 hour did the trick for me.
