This Vegan Strawberry Peach Cobbler is the perfect fresh or frozen fruit dessert for gatherings large and small. It’s made with almond flour and sweetened with maple syrup for a refined sugar-free, and gluten-free treat!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
If you love pies for dessert, you must try this Strawberry Peach Cobbler. It has the same juicy, sweet, cooked fruit filling, but you don’t need to make a whole crust. Instead, you stir together a simple buttery crumble topping, sprinkle it over the fruit, and bake. It’s easy and one of my favorite ways to use summer fruit.
Even better, this delicious dessert can be made with fresh or frozen fruit- so whether it’s summer or winter, this sweet treat will be a crowd favorite all year!
Cobbler vs. Crisp vs. Crumble
If you’re wondering about the difference between cobblers, crisps, and crumbles, here’s the deal. A cobbler is made with a dougy topping that’s dolloped on top.
Crisps and Crumbles are the same and are topped with a sprinkling of a topping that’s, well, crispier and crumblier!
Ingredient Notes
Here’s what you need for this simple fruity dessert:
- Peaches. You can use fresh peaches or frozen, but you’ll want to remove the skin for the best texture.
- Strawberries. These berries will also work both fresh and frozen. Feel free to substitute blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries instead.
- Maple syrup. I’m using maple syrup as a natural alternative to granulated sugar, like brown sugar or white sugar. You can use another liquid sweetener if you like, such as agave. Also, you may need more or less syrup, depending on how sweet your fruit is. Riper fruit will have a higher sugar content naturally.
- Lemon juice. Be sure to juice a fresh lemon. A jar will work in a pinch, but fresh is best.
- Cornstarch. Arrowroot starch also works.
- Baking powder.
- Flour. I use a blend of gluten-free all-purpose flour and almond flour.
- Butter. You can use vegan butter or melted coconut oil.
- Milk. Any plant-based, non-dairy milk will work.
- Gluten-Free rolled oats: (Optional) To make this cobbler more hearty, you can amp up the topping. Feel free to add old-fashioned oats for extra flavor and texture.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F.
- Toss peaches, strawberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a medium bowl (or in a 9×13 baking dish) to combine.
- In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, almond flour, and baking powder.
- Cut the vegan butter into tiny cubes and cut into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or use your hands to incorporate. Next, add maple syrup and non-dairy milk and stir to create your dough.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the baking dish and place blobs of the dough atop the surface. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the crumble topping is nicely golden brown. Enjoy with dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
Secrets to Success
- To make this cobbler more hearty, you can amp up the topping. Feel free to add old-fashioned oats for extra flavor and texture.
- Feel free to swap out the strawberries for another type of berry or omit them altogether for a gluten-free peach cobbler. If omitting the strawberries, add an additional 2 cubs of sliced peaches.
Storage Tips
This strawberry peach cobbler is best the day it’s made. But you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. The fruit may get a little soggier as it sits.
Serving Tips
Every good cobbler needs a scoop of vanilla ice cream to complete the dish. You can use your favorite vanilla dairy-free ice cream or add coconut whipped cream.
Recipe FAQs
Fresh peaches are often preferred for their natural flavor and texture, but if they’re out of season, I recommend using frozen peaches. Canned peaches aren’t as ideal because they are often canned in a sugary syrup and preservatives.
Yes! You can make both the fruit mixture and the crumble topping and store them in separate containers in the refrigerator overnight. When you’re ready to make it, simply assemble the fruit cobbler according to the recipe instructions and bake!
