Paleo & AIP Peach Cobbler

It isn’t summer without fresh peaches!! Seriously, peaches are a highlight of every summer. Of course, they’re more than yummy enough to eat as a dessert on their own, but baking them into a crisp or cobbler takes it to the next level.

Peach cobbler is traditionally made with fresh peaches and a biscuit topping and this version tastes just like the real deal, but without any gluten, grains, or dairy!

The Ingredients for the Paleo & AIP Peach Cobbler

  • Peaches. Fresh peaches are best for this recipe! I haven’t tried it with frozen, but it will likely work just fine.
  • Coconut sugar.
  • Tapioca starch. You can also use arrowroot starch.
  • Coconut flour. Since coconut flour is more abosorbant than other flours, it’s hard to swap it for another ingredient, so I don’t recommend trying to swap out the coconut flour for another flour. I like to use the brand Anthony’s!
  • Coconut milk and apple cider vinegar. This is the buttermilk substitute in the recipe to give it that buttermilk biscuit flavor.
  • Palm shortening. Palm shortening is a great substitute for butter in recipes like this as it makes the biscuit topping more flakey. I have not tried this recipe with coconut oil instead.

How to make Paleo & AIP Peach Cobbler

  • Make the peach filling. Combine the peaches and 1/4 cup of coconut sugar in a saucepan. Set on the stove over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves and the peaches soften. Pour into the casserole dish and set aside.

  • Combine the batter. Using a large bowl, combine the tapioca starch, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and 2 tbsp of coconut sugar. Stir in the coconut milk and apple cider vinegar and stir until a wet dough begins to form. Fold in the palm shortening.
  • Add the batter to the peaches. Drop biscuit-sized pieces of dough over the peaches, flattening and ensuring that the bulk of the peaches are covered.

Do you have to peel the peaches?

Technically, you don’t have to! Personally, I don’t peel the peaches. The skin softens during the cooking process, so it’s not necessary, and I like to be able to skip the extra step. However, you can certainly peel the peaches if you prefer.

What can you serve this recipe with?

  • Coconut whipped cream
  • Dairy-free ice cream of your choice
