Can I use canned peaches?

Yes, but drain them well and reduce the sugar since canned peaches are already sweetened.

What gluten-free flour works best?

A good all-purpose gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum works well for the topping.

You can prepare the peach filling a day ahead and keep it in the fridge. Add the topping just before baking.

A warm, comforting gluten-free peach cobbler with juicy peaches and a golden biscuit-style topping, perfect for summer gatherings or cozy desserts.

Scale

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, toss peaches with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Spread evenly in the baking dish.
3. In another bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, oat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until a thick batter forms.
6. Drop spoonfuls of batter evenly over the peaches, spreading lightly but leaving some fruit exposed.
7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and peaches are bubbling.
8. Let cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Use ripe, juicy peaches for best flavor. If using canned peaches, drain well and reduce added sugar.
For dairy-free, substitute coconut oil or vegan butter for butter, and almond or oat milk for dairy milk.
This cobbler is best enjoyed warm but can be reheated the next day.
