Naturally Sweet: Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler with Date Sugar

This Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler is naturally sweetened with date sugar, no refined sugar, no gluten, just warm, juicy goodness in every bite.

There’s something nostalgic about peach cobbler, warm, juicy fruit bubbling under a golden crust. But traditional versions are often loaded with refined sugar and gluten, which can leave us feeling anything but our best.

This version? It’s different, in the best way.

I swapped the sugar for date sugar, a mineral-rich, whole-food sweetener made from dried ground dates. It brings a deep, caramel-like flavor without the crash. The topping is gluten-free, using almond and coconut flour for a crumbly, tender bite that pairs perfectly with the peaches.

This cobbler is:

• Gluten-free

• Refined sugar-free

• Dairy-optional

• Simple to make

Whether you’re living sugar-conscious, following a gluten-free lifestyle, or just craving a cleaner dessert that actually tastes amazing, this one’s for you.

Ingredients

For the peach filling:

• 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

• 2–3 tbsp date sugar (adjust to sweetness of peaches)

• 1 tbsp arrowroot starch (or tapioca flour)

• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• Pinch of sea salt

For the cobbler topping:

• 1 cup almond flour

• 1/4 cup coconut flour

• 1/4 cup date sugar

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk (or almond milk)

• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or grass-fed butter

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Make the peach filling:
   In a large bowl, toss peaches with date sugar, arrowroot, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate. Pour into a greased 9-inch baking dish.

3. Make the cobbler topping:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, date sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add coconut milk, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla. Stir until a thick dough forms.

4. Assemble:
   Spoon the topping over the peaches in rustic dollops—no need to spread it perfectly flat.

5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden and the peaches are bubbly.

6. Cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Delicious warm or cold!

✅ Tips:

• Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the peaches for extra warmth.

• Serve with a scoop of coconut milk ice cream or homemade cashew cream for an indulgent finish.
