This lightly sweetened peach cobbler is simple to make and uses fresh peaches. Vegan friendly with gluten free and refined sugar free options.
Cobblers are one of my favorite summer treats! It’s such a delicious way to use up all that sweet seasonal fruit. There are lots of yummy options, but peaches are probably my favorite fruit to use.
Instead of a biscuit topping, I use more of a cake-like batter, which seeps it’s way through all the fruit and melds into peach heaven! So yum!
I sauté the peaches first, which not only makes them more tender, but it also releases all that fresh peach juice too. It’s such a yummy addition to this cobbler, trust me!
It’s very simple to make too, using basic pantry ingredients. Lightly sweetened, vegan friendly, and includes gluten free and refined sugar free options as well.
I hope you give it a try and enjoy it as much as we did!
