    Ingredient tips


    You need just 10 simple ingredients for this easy peach cobbler recipe:

    Ingredients for vegan peach cobbler on a white background.

    All-purpose flour

    Granulated sugar - you'll need some sugar in both the topping and filling. Because peaches vary so much in sweetness, you may wish to taste them and adjust the sugar in the filling for best results.

    Baking powder - Just a little helps the topping rise.

    Salt - Balances flavor.

    Vegan butter - for best results use a stick or block type of vegan butter. Spreadable types of vegan butter have a higher moisture content which will change the taste and texture.

    Soy milk and lemon juice - together these make a vegan buttermilk substitute. Soy is the best plant-based milk to use because it naturally thickens when you add an acid such as lemon juice.

    Vanilla extract - For the best flavor use real vanilla extract, not flavoring.

    Peaches - We've made this recipe with both peaches and nectarines.

    We usually skip peeling them, but if you prefer to remove the skin, here's a handy guide to peeling peaches.

    Canned and drained peaches or frozen and thawed sliced peaches are a great option to make this cobbler at any time of year. Canned peaches in syrup tend to be a lot sweeter, so you can reduce or omit the sugar in the filling.

    Cornstarch - helps to thicken the liquid that comes from the juicy peaches.

    Here's how to make this cobbler. Full detailed recipe and quantities are in the recipe card at the end of the post.

    Step 7 - Bake at 350℉ / 180℃ for 30- 35 minutes.

    Substitutions and variations

    Gluten-free: We haven't tested a gluten-free version yet. If you want to experiment, use 1:1 gluten-free flour as a substitute for all-purpose flour.

    Soy-free: Almond milk can be used in place of soy milk, and use a soy-free vegan butter.

    Cornstarch: Can be replaced with an equal amount of arrowroot powder to thicken the filling.

    Add spices: You can add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the filling for a warming variation.

    Serving

    Best served freshly made and warm with a generous scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream.

    It's also delicious with a handful of fresh fruit on the side, like raspberries or blueberries, and some vegan whipped cream.

    Storage

    Store: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in a covered container when cool.

    Reheating: Reheat in the oven for the best results.

    Place in the oven at 350°F / 180°C until heated through (around 20 minutes) and cover if the top is becoming too dark.

    You can also reheat individual portions quickly in the microwave in 30-second intervals until hot.

    Freezing: Cobbler is best frozen after baking.

    Let it cool completely, then freeze it in a well-wrapped freezer-friendly baking dish, or in individual portions in airtight containers.

    Thaw overnight in the fridge, and reheat as above.

    FAQs

    What's the difference between a crisp, a crumble, and a cobbler?

    Crisps, crumbles, and cobblers are similar types of baked desserts with a fruit filling. They share similar ingredients in the topping, but there are some common differences.

    A crisp topping typically contains oats, whereas a traditional crumble topping is made with only flour, butter, and sugar. A cobbler topping also contains flour, butter and sugar, but often contains milk and baking powder for a more light fluffy topping.

    Notes

    Peaches

    In this recipe, you can use any kind of peaches or nectarines. It's ideal for ripe, fresh peaches in the summer. If you use canned peaches, then drain them first, and if you use frozen peaches they should be thawed.
    Because the sweetness of peaches varies so greatly, we recommend tasting them and tweaking the sugar in the filling to taste and your preference for sweetness. Peaches canned in syrup tend to be sweeter and require the lower amount of sugar, whereas underripe peaches or store-bought frozen peach slices taste best using the higher amount of sugar.

    Dish size

    We use a deep 8 x 8 inch 2 quart or 2L baking dish for this recipe. A 7 x 11 inch dish will also work. You can also double the recipe (use the adjustable buttons in the recipe card to easily scale the ingredients) and bake it in a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.
