Peach Cobbler Ingredients

You can find the full printable recipe, including ingredient quantities, below. But first, here are some explanations of ingredients and steps to help you make this recipe perfect every time.

  • Peaches — I used approximately four pounds of fresh peaches. You can substitute frozen peaches.
  • Sugar — I used brown sugar for the peaches and the crust.
  • Chia — I like adding ground-up chia seeds to accomplish a thicker sauce. However, you can leave this ingredient out, it’s purely optional.
  • Fat — We’ll use vegan butter for this recipe, but you can substitute coconut oil. I imagine you could even use olive oil or vegetable oil, but I haven’t tested this myself.
  • Plant ButtermIlk — I used almond milk, but any plant-based milk will work. Combine that with some apple cider vinegar to make simple plant-based buttermilk.
  • Vanilla — Let’s add a little bit of vanilla extract for flavor. If your plant-based milk is vanilla-flavored, you can skip this step.
  • Flour — Of course, you can use all-purpose flour, but I’m all about the whole wheat flour lately, and it works just fine in this recipe. You can also use whole wheat pastry flour. Whatever flour you use, make sure it’s spooned and leveled
  • Leavener — We’ll use baking powder to make the topping nice and fluffy.
  • Salt — A bit of salt adds complexity of flavor to the crust.
  • Topping — Combine ground cinnamon and some more brown sugar to sprinkle over the top of your cobbler. It makes every bite even more amazing!

How to Make Vegan Peach Cobbler

  1. Combine peach slices, brown sugar, and ground chia seeds in a saucepan and stir gently to combine. Place over medium heat. Bring it to a simmer and remove from heat. This will dissolve the sugar and begin the cooking process for the peaches. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Get out a 9×13 pan or casserole dish.
  3. Add vegan butter to the baking pan and place it in the oven to melt the butter.
  4. Make vegan vanilla buttermilk by combining plant-based milk, vinegar, and vanilla. Set aside.
  5. In a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder/soda, salt, and cinnamon. Create a well in the center and add the vegan buttermilk and vanilla and stir to combine. 
  6. Pour the batter into the baking pan with melted butter.
  7. Spoon the cooked peaches and the juice over the top. Combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle this over the top of the mixture.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The filling should bubble around the edges, and the crust is golden brown on the edges. A tester inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
  9. When done, remove it from the oven. Set it aside and allow it to cool for 20 minutes to allow the filling to thicken properly before serving warm

Frequently-Asked Questions

Is peach cobbler best made with fresh or canned peaches?

While both options work, using fresh peaches during their peak season enhances the flavor and texture of your cobbler. Canned peaches can be a convenient alternative when fresh ones aren’t available.

Can I make a gluten-free version of peach cobbler?

Absolutely! You can swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour to create a cobbler that’s safe for gluten-sensitive individuals. Just ensure the other ingredients are also gluten-free, and enjoy the same delicious results.

    I don’t care for plant base milk. What can I use in its place.
