Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh or frozen peaches work great. If they’re out of season, use frozen peaches, just ensure they contain no added sugar.
Erythritol: This sugar substitute helps keep the cobbler diabetic-friendly. If you’re looking for alternatives, consider monk fruit sweetener or stevia. They all add sweetness without the carbs.
Almond & Coconut Flour: These flours give the cobbler a great texture. If you’re nut-free, try using oat flour or whole wheat flour, but the carb count will vary.
Butter: Unsalted butter adds richness but can be swapped for coconut oil or unsalted margarine if you prefer dairy-free.
What’s the Best Way to Prepare the Fruit for Cobbler?
Preparing the peaches is key for flavor. If using fresh, slice them and remove the pits. If you have frozen peaches, thaw them beforehand and drain any excess liquid to prevent a soggy cobbler.
- Combine peaches with erythritol, lemon juice, and spices in a bowl. This allows the flavors to meld.
- Let it sit for a few minutes. It helps to bring out the juices, adding to the overall taste!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful cobbler takes about 15 minutes to prepare and around 35-40 minutes to bake. With a total time of about an hour, you’ll have a warm, delicious dessert ready to enjoy!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, get your 9-inch baking dish and lightly grease it. This prevents the cobbler from sticking!
2. Prepare the Peach Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, take those lovely sliced peaches, add the erythritol, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg if you’re using it. Toss everything together until the peaches are well-coated. Pour this fruity mixture into your greased baking dish.
3. Make the Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Make sure it’s all mixed well to avoid clumps.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a small bowl, beat the egg and then add in the melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is smooth. This adds flavor and moisture to your batter!
5. Combine Both Mixtures:
Now, pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms. It doesn’t have to be perfect—just ensure there are no big pockets of dry flour.
6. Assemble the Cobbler:
Spoon dollops of the batter over the peach mixture in the baking dish. Spread it gently to cover most of the peaches, but it’s okay if some peek through—this will create a lovely texture.
7. Bake:
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. You want the topping to be golden and the peaches bubbling slightly at the edges.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Once it’s done, let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, and for a delicious twist, add a spoonful of unsweetened Greek yogurt on top!
