Simple Vegan Peach Cobbler (With Vanilla Nice Cream)

Peach season is the best time of year. These juicy, golden spheres of deliciousness pair perfectly with a crisp, cookie-like topping. Our vegan peach cobbler is so simple to make, it should be a crime how tasty it turns out!

A Sweet, Sweet Treat

One of our favorite activities in the summer is heading to our local farmer’s market to pick up fresh fruit and veggies. There’s such a difference in quality compared to store-bought produce. Plus, it feels great to support local businesses!

Peaches are high up on the list of items we search for at the market. We’re not sure how a fruit can be so delicious, but they are definitely one of our favorites. Honey-sweet and perfect for using in a cobbler.

Wait, what exactly is a cobbler? Is it the same thing as a crisp or a crumble? To be completely honest, we had no clue before first making this recipe. But, we did some digging and found out a cobbler is the oldest of these three treats. And even though the definitions vary considerably, it’s basically a base of fruit baked with a sweet, biscuit-like topping.

Whatever definition you go by, this vegan peach cobbler is one of the best ways to use up some ripe summer fruits!

Key Ingredients For Vegan Peach Cobbler

• Peaches: our favorite fruit to use in a cobbler recipe is peaches. When ripe, they’re super sweet, making them the star of this dish. All that juicy nectar is reduced down with baking, which forms a syrup-like texture to compliment the crust. And, by incorporating stone fruit (like peaches) into desserts, you’ll be consuming healthy amounts of potassium, calcium, and fiber. So, you can have your “cobbler” and eat it too!

• Cinnamon: not much else goes better in this dessert than the warming, sweet spice of cinnamon. It makes this dessert really feel like true comfort food. We love cinnamon not only for the taste but also because it carries its own set of benefits like aiding in blood sugar and cholesterol regulation.

• Nutmeg: if cinnamon needed a sidekick, this would be it. Native to the Banda Islands off the coast of Australia, this spice has quite an interesting history (it’s even been used as a hallucinogenic). While nutmeg can be overpowering, adding just a pinch to this recipe will make people wonder, “how does this peach cobbler taste so good?”. It’s warm, nutty, and sweet. Perfect cobbler material.

• Cane sugar: while peaches are already naturally sweet, cane sugar helps form a jammy consistency on the bottom layer. And in the crust, it helps give some extra crisp. We personally like to use cane sugar, but you can use whichever granulated sugar you prefer. We’ve even heard coconut sugar works well.

How to Make Vegan Peach Cobbler

Filling

To begin, you’ll need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a glass or ceramic baking dish with coconut oil or vegan butter (we use a 13×9 casserole dish for reference).

Next, peel, pit, and slice your fresh peaches and toss them together with the cane sugar and corn starch. You can also complete this step right in the baking dish for less cleanup.

Topping

For the crust, whisk together the flour, the rest of the cane sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, melt the vegan butter then whisk in the vanilla.

Pour your butter and vanilla mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until it slightly resembles cookie dough.

Next, use your hands to crumble the batter on top of the peach layer. Stick that bad boy in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until it’s golden on top and bubbly. Remove your peach cobbler from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 20-25 minutes.

Nice Cream

You can definitely purchase some vegan ice cream, but it’s super easy to make your own! Seriously, it takes two ingredients. All you’ll need to do is freeze some overripe bananas the night before.

When you are ready to serve the peach cobbler, blend the frozen bananas in a high-speed blender (like a Vitamix) with a splash of coconut milk. After your peach cobbler has cooled, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla nice cream for a crowd-pleasing dessert!

How to Store Vegan Peach Cobbler

This dessert is best when eaten the same day. But if you have leftovers, keep them lightly covered with saran wrap in the fridge for 2-3 days. If you plan on eating this within 1 day, then you can leave it uncovered at room temperature.

Reheat the cobbler in your oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes before serving again. Note: make sure to let the leftovers cool completely before you cover them.

• Vanilla Nice Cream optional

• 3-4 overripe bananas, chopped & frozen

• 2-4 tbsp full-fat coconut milk

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a glass or ceramic baking dish with coconut oil or vegan butter. We use a 13×9 casserole dish for reference.
• Peel, pit, and slice the peaches. Then, toss them together with the cane sugar and corn starch in a large mixing bowl. Transfer to the baking dish, and set aside while you prepare the topping.
• Topping
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, the rest of the cane sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, melt the vegan butter and whisk in the vanilla.
• Pour butter mixture into the flour mixture and stir until everything is incorporated. It will slightly resemble cookie dough.
• Next, use your hands to crumble the batter on top of the peach layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden on top and bubbly.
• Remove your peach cobbler from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 20-25 minutes.
• Nice Cream
• You can purchase vegan ice cream, or make your own 2-ingredient nice cream. The night before, peel, chop, and freeze 3-4 overripe bananas.
• When you are ready to serve the peach cobbler, blend the frozen bananas in a high-speed blender (like the Vitamix) with a splash of coconut milk. Note: if you are using another blender or a food processor, you may need to use more milk.
• If you prefer a firmer nice cream texture, prepare it a few hours before baking the peach cobbler and let it set in the freezer in an airtight container.
• After your peach cobbler has cooled, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla nice cream for a crowd-pleasing dessert!

Tips

• Use slightly less or no salt if using salted vegan butter.
• To achieve the best nice cream texture, we use a high-speed blender like the Vitamix or a heavy-duty food processor.
