How to Make It

Start with these straightforward steps:

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.

Mix the peaches

In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the peaches are evenly coated. Transfer the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Whisk the dry ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Combine wet ingredients

In a separate small bowl, mix together the non-dairy milk, melted vegan butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract.

Mix the batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Top the peaches

Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter over the top of the peaches in the baking dish, covering them as evenly as possible.

Bake the cobbler

Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the cobbler topping is golden brown.

Cool before serving

Once done, remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: Yes, but texture may change when thawed.
Reheat: Microwave for 30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
