Peach cobbler is a summer classic and this recipe is not only gluten-free but also super easy and quick to put together.

This delicious gluten-free dessert for busy summer days only takes about 10 minutes to prepare and 35 minutes to bake thanks to the easy gluten-free batter topping and shortcut peach filling. It's perfect for when you don't have a ton of time or the inclination to spend it in the kitchen.

Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra-dreamy summer treat. Summer desserts take two amazing forms. 

If a bubbling, warm fresh-from-the-oven fruit-filled dessert isn't your idea of a summer meal ender, try one of these cool, frozen refreshing gluten-free desserts. 

Ingredients

  • For the Peach Filling
  • 2 (29-ounce) cans sliced peaches in heavy syrup (drain and reserve 1 cup of syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • For the Cobbler Batter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • For the Topping
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon for topping
  • Optional Garnish
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Freshly whipped cream

Steps to Make It

Make the Filling

  1. Heat oven to 350 F (176 C). Have an 11x7-inch baking dish at the ready.

  2. Drain sliced peaches in a large mesh sieve set over a bowl and reserve 1 cup of the drained syrup.

  3. Place drained peaches in a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch and stir to blend.

  4. Pour in 3/4 cup of the reserved syrup and stir to blend. Pour peach mixture into an 11x7-inch baking dish.

Make the Cobbler Batter

  1. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar, gluten-free flour, gluten-free baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.

  2. Add remaining 1/4 cup reserved peach syrup, egg, 4 tablespoons of the melted butter (reserve 2 tablespoons to drizzle over batter), milk, and vanilla. Beat until blended.

  3. Use a tablespoon to evenly spoon batter over peaches.

For the Topping

  1. Drizzle reserved melted butter over batter.

  2. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar mixed with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.

Bake and Serve

  1. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until batter is golden brown.

  2. Cool before serving—sauce thickens as cobbler cools.

  3. Serve with an optional scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of freshly whipped cream.
