There is something nostalgic about this scrumptious dessert because I think it takes most of us back to being a kid again! Hot summers with barbecues and picnics surrounded by good food like peach cobbler.

You will taste naturally sweet peaches, a delicious semi-sweet grain-free biscuit topping, and perfect syrupy goodness in every bite!! Not to mention, it goes amazing with a scoop of paleo ice cream!

Plus, the show stopper of this gluten free peach cobbler is this Homemade Paleo Biscuit recipe that I used for the topping.

Why This Cobbler Is Great:

Fresh, ripe peaches: Peaches are naturally sweet and juicy, and when they're at their peak ripeness during the summer, they add a burst of flavor to the cobbler. This recipe uses fresh or frozen peaches.
Warm, comforting dessert: This cobbler is pure comfort food. The combination of warm, baked peaches and a tender, crumbly topping will become a family favorite.
Nutritious ingredients: This healthier peach cobbler incorporates nutritious ingredients. I substitute refined sugar with coconut sugar and honey. This recipe also includes almond flour as the main ingredient in the cobbler topping, which helps add protein and balance sugars.

Ingredient Notes:

Photos of the paleo peach cobbler ingredients.

Almond Flour - I highly suggest using almond flour and not almond meal. Almond meal is more coarse and will make your biscuit topping grainy.
Arrowroot Starch - Do not use arrowroot flour.
Ground Cinnamon - Use any variety.
Coconut Sugar - You can use golden or regular coconut sugar.
Coconut Oil - You can also use another light oil if you can't tolerate coconuts.
Eggs - Use size large.
Honey - You can use inexpensive store-bought honey. There is no need to use expensive specialty honey.
Non-Dairy Milk - I used almond milk, but any type of plant-based milk is fine. If you are not paleo, regular milk is also fine.
Peaches - Use fresh or frozen peaches.

Substitutions/Swaps:

If you are not paleo, there are several substitutions you can make.

Brown sugar can be used in place of the coconut sugar.
Other types of starch, including potato, tapioca, and cornstarch, can be used instead of arrowroot starch.
You can swap butter (if you are not paleo) or another oil for the coconut oil.

Variations:

Everything about this almond flour peach cobbler recipe is mouthwateringly delicious! You can follow the recipe exactly or add some flavors as you see fit. Here are some ideas to try:

Add a few crushed nuts to the topping. It’s so good and adds a nice little crunch.
Include additional fruits instead of just peaches. Pears, apricots, nectarines, and plums all make great choices.

Recipe FAQ:

Does gluten free baking take longer?

In many cases, gluten-free baking takes a little longer than traditional recipes. The reason is that many gluten-free ingredients tend to brown a little bit faster. So, it's advisable to bake things low and slow when it comes to gluten free.

Why is my cobbler runny?

Most of the time, when peach cobbler turns out runny, it’s because the fruit had a lot of extra juice. When extra juicy, fruit adds tons of sweetness to the dish, leading to extra liquid.

The best way to combat this is to let the fruit sit in a colander and let the juice drip off for a few minutes before baking. This will eliminate that extra liquid and shouldn’t diminish the flavors.

Can you use frozen peaches?

You can use frozen peaches when making this delicious, refined sugar-free cobbler. The important step you need to take to use frozen peaches is to make sure that they have been thawed and drained. As they thaw, they will have water and juices that you should remove before baking with them.

Can you use canned peaches?

You can definitely use canned peaches, but note that peaches are canned in syrup, so this recipe will not be paleo if you use them. Be sure to put the canned peaches into a colander so all of the extra juice drains out.
