Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (can reduce or substitute with agave or monk fruit sweetener)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup almond meal (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil (can substitute with unsalted butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts for topping
  • Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to heat evenly for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced peaches with honey or maple syrup, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Stir gently until evenly coated and let sit for about 10 minutes to draw out juices.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, almond meal, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add unsweetened almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined to form a thick but spreadable batter. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour the peach mixture with juices into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish.
  6. Spoon the batter in dollops over the peaches. It’s okay if the batter doesn’t cover every inch as it will spread during baking.
  7. Optionally sprinkle chopped nuts or coarse sugar on top.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and set, and the peaches are bubbling around the edges. If the topping browns too fast, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking.
  9. Cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the cobbler to set.

Notes

Peel peaches for better texture. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep topping tender. If topping browns too quickly, cover with foil halfway through baking. Add a splash of water or extra lemon juice if peaches are not juicy enough. Optional toppings include chopped nuts or coarse sugar for extra crunch. Can prepare peach mixture ahead and refrigerate before baking.
