Ingredients You’ll Need for Vegan Peach Cobbler

Gather these simple ingredients to create your delightful Vegan Peach Cobbler:

6-7 ripe peaches (peeled and sliced)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of ½ lemon
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup soy milk (or other plant-based milk)
¼ cup melted vegan butter (or coconut oil)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Vegan Peach Cobbler

Let’s make it together in a few simple steps! Preheat your kitchen to the delightful aroma of baked goods by following these instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the peaches are coated evenly.
Transfer the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the soy milk, melted vegan butter (or coconut oil), and remaining ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Using a spoon, drop dollops of the cobbler batter over the top of the peaches in the baking dish, covering them as evenly as possible.
Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly, and the topping is beautifully golden brown.
Once done, remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream.

Delicious Variations to Try

Berry-Licious Cobbler: Add a cup of fresh or frozen berries such as blueberries or raspberries to the peach mixture for a zesty twist.
Spiced Peach Cobbler: Try adding a pinch of cardamom or ginger for a warming spice that pairs beautifully with peaches.
Nutty Crunch: Top your cobbler with chopped walnuts or pecans to add texture and a rich flavor.
Coconut Dream: Replace the soy milk with coconut milk for a tropical flair, and add shredded coconut to the batter for extra chewiness.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Advice: You can prepare the peach filling a day in advance. Just keep it stored in the fridge, then pour the batter over just before baking!
Ingredient Swaps: If you have trouble finding ripe peaches, feel free to swap in canned peaches (just drain them well) or use nectarines for a similar outcome.
Slicing Tricks: To make peeling peaches easier, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath. The skins slip right off!
Storage Suggestions: Leftover cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, though I doubt it’ll last that long!
