This 90's classic gluten free peach cobbler my mom used to make is a delicious balance of fresh peaches, warm spices, and a tender, buttery topping. There is nothing better than the juicy flavors of warm summer peaches baked into a crispy golden cobbler.
Peach season is one of my favorite times of the year and this recipe has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. I grew up enjoying every bite of my mom's homemade peach cobbler drizzled with peach simple syrup. And I can't forget about her peaches and cream either. Now, I love carrying the tradition on with my friends and family.
If you have leftover peaches from your local farmers market (or your own peach tree if you're lucky!), this recipe is the perfect way to use them. And, when peach season comes to an end you can still use frozen peaches to whip up a mouth watering peach cobbler whenever your heart desires.
Why you'll love this homemade peach cobbler
- Made with fresh peaches: The natural sweetness of fresh, ripe peaches shines through in this recipe.
- Warm and cozy flavors: The combination of a butter topping, nutmeg, and brown sugar creates the perfect "transition to fall" flavor.
- Simply gluten free: Nobody will ever guess this recipe is gluten free, it's just that good.
- Easy peasy: Only 10 minutes of prep before it goes into the oven.
What goes well with peach cobbler?
I love serving peach cobbler with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of fresh cream, a spoonful of strawberry glaze, or one of my famous simple syrups. Blueberry simple syrup, brown sugar simple syrup, or lavender simple syrup will all add a touch of flavor to this cobbler recipe to take it to the next level.
What you'll need to make gluten free peach cobbler
- Eggs: An essential for all baking.
- Peaches: Freshly peeled and sliced peaches are best!
- Gluten free flour: I like to use King Arthur's Gluten free flour, but you can use your favorite.
- Sugar: Sugar and brown sugar make the perfect combination for sweetness.
- Butter: Softened butter is easiest to work with.
- Milk: A small amount will help bring the crumble topping together.
- Salt
- Baking powder
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes! Just make sure to thaw and drain the frozen peaches well before using. This way, the cobbler doesn't get too watery.
How to make mom's gluten free peach cobbler
Preheat and prep: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix sugar, brown sugar, flour, and eggs for the filling.
Add the peaches: Carefully fold in the sliced peaches to the filling mix, making sure they are fully coated with the mixture. Pour into a greased baking dish.
Buttery cobbler topping: In a separate bowl, combine gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix in softened butter until crumbly.
Mix and crumble: Mix in the egg and milk until just combined. Sprinkle this mixture over the peach filling, then top with a little more sugar.
Bake: Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set.
Storing and freezing
Storing: If you happen to have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container or ziplock baggie in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or serve cold.
Freezing: Let the cobbler cool completely and then wrap in plastic wrap or place in a freezer safe container. You can freeze this recipe for up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight and warm it up in the oven before serving.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Simply swap the butter for a dairy-free butter option like Earth Balance, and use a dairy-free milk like almond or oat milk. The taste my change slightly, but it will still be delicious.

Literally the best peach cobbler of all time! Love the delicious peach center but that cobbler topping is just perfect beans slightly sweet with just the right amount of sugar on top. My favorite is a topic with cool, heavy whipping cream…
