Is there anything more comforting than a warm bowl of peach cobbler with melty vanilla ice cream?

This recipe brings back memories of barefoot summer nights, fireflies in the backyard, and my grandma’s old glass baking dish filled with sweet, juicy peaches and that perfectly golden topping.

Of course, I’ve given it a little Sarah-style makeover — using cleaner ingredients, less sugar, and a light, biscuit-style topping that’s golden and crisp without being heavy.

But don’t worry — the soul of the dish is still here. Bubbling peaches. Warm cinnamon. That creamy cold scoop on top that melts into the filling. Heaven.

🍑 Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 5–6 ripe peaches, sliced (about 4 cups)

• 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey

• 1 tbsp arrowroot starch or cornstarch

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ tsp ground cinnamon

• Pinch of salt

• Optional: squeeze of lemon juice to brighten flavor

For the topping:

• ¾ cup white whole wheat flour

• ¼ cup almond flour

• 1 ½ tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp cinnamon

• 2 tbsp coconut sugar or maple sugar

• ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter

• ½ tsp vanilla

To serve:

• Vanilla ice cream (dairy or dairy-free)

• Optional: extra cinnamon or toasted almonds for garnish

🥣 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or small baking dish.

2. Make the filling: In a bowl, mix sliced peaches with maple syrup, arrowroot, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour into your prepared dish.

3. Make the topping: In another bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and coconut sugar. Add milk, melted oil, and vanilla. Stir until a thick, biscuit-like batter forms.

4. Top the cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the peach mixture — it doesn’t need to be perfect. Rustic is beautiful!

5. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the topping is golden and the peaches are bubbling around the edges.

6. Cool slightly before serving. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and maybe a sprinkle of cinnamon if you're feelin’ fancy. 🍨

🍴 Sarah’s Notes & Tips:

• Make it gluten-free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.

• Frozen peaches? Totally fine — just thaw and drain them first.

• Dairy-free? Use coconut oil and serve with your favorite dairy-free vanilla ice cream.

• Meal prep tip: You can prep the filling and topping separately and store them in the fridge, then assemble and bake fresh when you’re ready!

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Peach Cobbler is one of those desserts that feels nostalgic and nourishing. It’s the perfect blend of sweet, spiced, and gooey — with just enough crisp from the biscuit topping.

Top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you’ve got a little bowl of sunshine that everyone loves. Trust me — this one will disappear fast. 😉
