The Best gluten free cobbler recipe

I’m so excited to share this gluten-free cobbler recipe with you all. As a busy mom, I’m always on the lookout for delicious and easy-to-make desserts that my family will love.

And let me tell you, this cobbler does not disappoint. It’s a classic Southern dessert that’s been adapted to be gluten-free, making it perfect for anyone with dietary restrictions.

The best part? It’s incredibly simple to make and requires only a few ingredients.

I’ve made it for my kids countless times, and they always devour it in seconds. My husband even requests it for his birthday every year!

The combination of juicy fruits, crunchy nuts, and sweet biscuit-like topping is absolute perfection. Plus, it’s a great way to use up any seasonal fruits that are ripe and ready to be used.

My family loves it when I make it with fresh blueberries or strawberries, but I also love using up those old bananas that are turning brown on the counter. This recipe is a staple in our household, and I’m sure it will become one in yours too.

🥘Ingredients

For the Filling

4 cups sliced fresh or frozen peaches
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Topping

1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour blend
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated, then pour the mixture into an ungreased 8×8 inch baking dish.
4In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
5Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
6Add the milk and vanilla extract to the flour mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms.
7Do not overmix.
8Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the peach filling, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
9Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips.
10Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
11A toothpick inserted into the topping should come out clean.
12Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
13Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

📝Notes

If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them well before using to avoid excess liquid. For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based butter and milk alternative. The topping can be made with a 1:1 gluten free flour blend that contains xanthan gum for best texture.

To store this gluten free cobbler, cover the dish tightly with foil or plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The topping will soften slightly, but it still tastes wonderful. For reheating, I like to warm individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or you can reheat the whole dish in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

This brings back the crispness on top and makes the fruit filling bubbly again. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of heavy cream, or a dollop of whipped cream. It also pairs nicely with a dusting of powdered sugar or a spoonful of yogurt for breakfast the next day.

This recipe is always a good idea for any occasion because it is simple, versatile, and pleases everyone. It works well for family gatherings, potlucks, or holiday dinners. I have brought it to countless events, and it never fails to get compliments.

I hope this gluten free cobbler becomes a favorite in your home too.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Gluten Free Peach Cobbler

1. Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen fruit works great in this recipe. You do not need to thaw it first. Just toss it with the sugar and cornstarch, then spoon the batter on top. You may need to bake it for an extra 5 to 10 minutes to account for the extra moisture.

2. What is the best gluten free flour blend for cobbler?

I recommend a 1 to 1 gluten free baking flour that already contains xanthan gum. Bob’s Red Mill and King Arthur Flour both make reliable blends. If your blend does not have xanthan gum, add 1/2 teaspoon to the dry ingredients for better texture.

3. Can I make this cobbler dairy free?

Absolutely. Substitute the butter with a plant based butter or coconut oil. Use a non dairy milk like almond or oat milk in place of regular milk. The topping will still be tender and golden.

4. How do I store leftovers and reheat them?

Store leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place a serving in the microwave for 30 seconds or in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. The topping stays soft and the fruit stays juicy.

5. Can I add oats or nuts to the topping?

Yes, you can stir in 1/4 cup of gluten free rolled oats or chopped pecans into the batter for extra crunch. Just note that oats must be certified gluten free if you need to avoid cross contamination.

6. Why is my cobbler topping gummy?

A gummy topping usually means the batter was overmixed or the flour blend does not have enough structure. Stir just until combined, and let the batter rest for 5 minutes before spooning it over the fruit. Also, make sure your baking powder is fresh.
