Ingredients

For the peach filling

6 cups fresh peaches sliced, about 8 medium peaches
1 Tablespoon coconut sugar
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoons arrowroot powder or cornstarch

For the topping

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
½ cup coconut sugar or cane sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, maple syrup, lemon juice, and arrowroot powder. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated, then pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
Spoon the topping evenly over the peach filling. It won’t cover everything completely, but that’s okay—it spreads as it bakes! Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the peaches are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Let the cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, topped with vanilla Greek yogurt or whipped coconut cream, if desired.

Notes

Storing: Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to bring back that crisp topping.
Reheating: Reheat a portion or the entire cobbler in the oven or toaster oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes—just until it’s warmed through and the topping gets a little crisp again.
