    Vegan Peach Cobbler | One of The Best Vegan Desserts

    by Brendan Cunningham Leave a Comment

    Jump to Recipe

    This vegan peach cobbler is one of the best peach recipes you can make! And don't worry if peaches aren't in season...you can use fresh, canned, or frozen peaches for this recipe. Just serve it warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream, and this will quickly become one of your favorite vegan desserts.  

    THE BEST VEGAN PEACH COBBLER

    Sweet and juicy peaches are one of the things I look forward to most in the summer-time.

    They're wonderful fresh - or even grilled - but, if you really want to take their deliciousness to the next level, nothing beats using them for a peach cobbler.

    Peach cobbler is an old fashioned southern dessert with a base of soft and juicy peaches baked with a sweet, buttery biscuit crust on top.

    Of course, traditional peach cobbler is made with eggs, butter, and milk. But, we'll be making a completely dairy-free peach cobbler that has the same classic southern flavor.

    Seriously, this vegan version tastes just like the "real thing."

    It is one of my favorite fruit recipes, along with this vegan banana pudding. 

    Anyway, this recipe is insanely easy to make – it only takes about 15 minutes of prep and 30 minutes of baking.

    Yeah, it's easy-peasy!

    So, let's dive into the recipe!

A metal spoon is at the front of the bowl with the head of the spoon scooping a few peaches. There is a half a peach facing up directly behind the bowl with the side of a white baking dish with vegan peach cobbler next to it. The bowl and peach is on a white counter and the baking dish is on a white and blue plaid tablecloth.

    INGREDIENTS FOR VEGAN PEACH COBBLER

    Now, as I mentioned, this peach cobbler recipe is very similar to a traditional cobbler recipe with a few plant-based substitutes to keep it vegan-friendly.

    That said, for the peach filling, you'll need:

    • 3 cups sliced peaches
    • 3 tbsps. granulated sugar , or less if your peaches are very sweet
    • 1 tbsp. cornstarch 
    • Juice of ½ a lemon 

    And for the biscuit topping:

    • ½ cup vegan butter, melted 
    • ¾ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 Tbsp. plant-based milk
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • Pinch of salt
    • Zest from 1 lemon

    So, this recipe is best made with fresh peaches. But if you don't have any, you can use canned or frozen peaches as well. However, if you use frozen peaches, be sure to thaw them properly before using them.

    Now, when it comes to choosing the perfect peaches for this vegan peach cobbler, you'll want to go with ripe peaches that are a little firm.

    Try to avoid very soft peaches because those can give the filling a mushy texture.

    VEGAN DAIRY SUBSTITUTES

    You can use any vegan butter and plant-based milk you have for this recipe. 

    For the vegan butter, just make sure you use unsalted for the best balance of flavors. But if you only have salted, you can still use it.

    Some good plant-based milk options for this recipe are soy milk, almond milk, and oat milk.

    Soy milk has a very similar texture to dairy milk, and it also has a comparable fat and protein count. This allows soy milk to hold well when heated, making it a good option for this cobbler. 

    Almond milk has a naturally sweet and subtly nutty flavor, which will complement this nicely. 

    Oat milk is super creamy with a toasty oat flavor. It will mix well with the sweet biscuits in this recipe if you like a slight oat taste. 

    Whichever plant-based milk you choose, pick the unsweetened and unflavored version. This cobbler will be sweet enough from the peaches and sugar.

    That said, if you have vanilla-flavored plant-based milk on hand, it will blend well with this recipe, but I do not suggest using any other flavor.

    THE PEACHES

    Now, for this recipe, you don't have to peel your peaches, but I prefer to use peeled peaches, and it is most common to use in cobblers.

    If you want to peel the peaches, you have two options, and both are very easy.

    The first way you can peel your peaches is by using a hand peeler.  

    A hand peeler is best if the peaches are really soft. To do this, apply light pressure to remove the skin with consistent strokes starting at the top of the stem and moving to the bottom. I prefer to use a Y-peeler to do this because the handle makes it easier to work in the direction your hand is moving. 

    The other option you have is to use a boiling pot of water.  

    To do this, boil a pot of water big enough to submerge several peaches at a time. Using a small paring knife, make a 2 inch wide X on the bottom of each peach.  

    Place a few peaches at a time in the boiling water, and let them soak for about 30 seconds, even if the water stops boiling. 

    Then, using a slotted spoon, transfer the peaches from the pot into a bowl full of ice water to cool. Wait a few seconds, and once cooled, take the peaches out of the water.

    At this point, the peach skin should be easy to pull away with your hands gently.

    However, you can use the paring knife to help you remove the skin if it's stuck in any area.

    HOW TO MAKE VEGAN PEACH COBBLER

    As I mentioned earlier, there's not a lot to this recipe – you can make both the filling and the topping in 15 minutes, then just pop it in the oven to bake.

    Honestly, it's so quick and easy that you'll find yourself wanting to make it over and over again!

    STEP 1: MAKE THE PEACH FILLING

    So, to start, you'll want to preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). 

    Then, slice your peaches and place them in an 8x8 inch casserole dish - you can use 9x13 inch dish too, but the cobbler will just be more spread out.

    Next, sprinkle the sugar and cornstarch on top of the peaches. 

    Then, add in the lemon juice, and mix all the ingredients in the casserole dish until everything is well-combined. And then the final part of this step is just spreading the mixture evenly in the dish.

    STEP 2: MAKE THE TOPPING

    Now that our peach filling is ready, the next step is to make the biscuit topping for the cobbler. 

    So, the first thing you'll want to do in this step is to weigh out all the cobbler biscuit ingredients.

    Then, mix them in a large bowl.

    Now, once the ingredients are well-combined, the batter should be thick. 

    So, you'll just want to use a spoon to place dollops of the biscuit batter evenly on top of the peaches.

    STEP 3: BAKE AND SERVE

    Now we're all set to bake this vegan peach cobbler.

    So, you'll want to place the cobbler in the oven, and then bake it for around 30-35 minutes.

    And you'll know it's ready when the crust is slightly golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.

    Then, as I said before, serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream, and you've got yourself a crazy delicious vegan dessert!

There is half a peach with the inside facing up directly behind the bowl. Everything is on a white counter.

    STORING YOUR VEGAN PEACH COBBLER

    Okay, so this recipe makes 9 servings of vegan peach cobbler.

    But, if you're not sharing it with a big group – or eating the whole tray yourself – you'll probably find yourself with some leftovers.

    Luckily, it's pretty easy to store and reheat your leftover peach cobbler – and it's pretty delicious when served cold too. 

    You can keep your cobbler in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Or, you can also store it in the freezer the same way for up to 6 months.

    That said, to reheat a single portion, microwave it for about 1 minute or until warmed. That said, you can also reheat the whole tray in the oven at 350 °F (176°C) for about 20 minutes. 

    Now, if you're planning to prepare this peach cobbler a few days ahead of time, you can store it in the fridge for a day or so. Just make sure to keep the peach filling and crust in separate containers.

    Wrapping Things Up

    And there you have it, a quick and easy vegan peach cobbler!

    Whether you're serving this at a backyard barbecue or party, making it for your family after dinner, or just for yourself, this recipe won't disappoint.  

    And, if you have any vegan friends looking for a great dessert to share, make sure you pass on this recipe to them. 

    Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, and as always, let me know if you try it!
