How to make easy GF peach cobbler
Whisk together the GF all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and the milk, and mix until incorporated.
Let rest covered in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and let it rest.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Droop scoops of dough on top of the peach mixture.
Bake for 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Storing
It’s best served immediately, warm, with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator for about 4 days. To reheat, bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 15 minutes, or in the microwave, warm as tasted.
Baking tips
- Crust: When making the crust, don’t overmix the batter; mix gently.
- Thickener: What’s the best thickener for the peach filling? Cornstarch and tapioca starch both work well.
- Sweetness: adjust the sweetness of the peach filling to taste, depending on the sweetness of your peaches.
- Baking: Bake until the juices are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Variations
- Flour: You can try a different mix of GF flour. A gluten-free all-purpose flour blend works great for a classic biscuit/topping. Almond flour or oat flour can add a rustic touch. Adjust for moisture if needed.
- Fruit: add another fruit to the filling, like strawberries or blueberries. They go very well with peaches. They add flavor, freshness, and color to the sweet peach filling.
- Spiced cobbler: Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the peach filling for a strong spiced flavor.
- Dried fruits: sprinkle with chopped and toasted walnuts, pecans, or almonds when serving for crunchiness.
