Ingredients

Please see recipe card at the bottom of this post for the full recipe details.

1. Gluten-Free One-to-One Flour
A high-quality gluten-free one to-one flour blend provides structure to the crips topping. I prefer Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour for this recipe because it produces consistent results and bakes evenly. Be sure to use a one-to-one blend that already contains xanthan gum. If you’d like to use fresh milled flours, give my bread flour recipe a try.

2. Maple Syrup
Maple syrup provides natural sweetness while adding moisture and depth to cobbler. It also helps create a smooth, cohesive texture without refined syrups.

3. Butter
Butter adds richness and helps create a crisp yet tender texture in the cobbler. Using a high-fat butter like Kerrygold works especially well here. If you need a dairy-free option, you can substitute a dairy-free butter alternative without issue.

4. Baking Powder
Baking powder gives the topping just enough lift without making it too expansive. I recommend using a corn-free and aluminum-free baking powder, which is easier on digestion and keeps the flavor clean. This is my go-to option for all gluten-free baking.

5. Salt
A small amount of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the cobbler flavor. Don’t skip it—it makes a noticeable difference.

6. Raw Milk
Raw milk adds a creaminess to the topping that creates the moist, delicious cobbler. If you don’t have your own dairy cattle, I suggest sourcing raw milk from a trusted farmer. This website may help you find one local to you. And if raw milk isn’t a good fit for your family, it can easily be subbed for equal parts with any milk or milk alternative.

7. Peaches
The star of the show, peaches bring all the sweet, juicy flavor that makes a cobbler irresistible. As they bake, they become soft and tender, creating a rich, syrupy filling that pairs perfectly with the buttery topping. Fresh, ripe peaches deliver the best flavor, but frozen peaches work beautifully too, making this recipe easy to enjoy year-round. Their natural sweetness and subtle floral notes are what give peach cobbler its classic, comforting taste.

8. Lemon Juice
A small splash of lemon juice makes a big difference in peach cobbler. It brightens the flavor of the peaches, balances their natural sweetness, and helps create that fresh, vibrant fruit filling. The acidity also enhances the overall flavor of the cobbler, making the peaches taste even more like themselves without adding a noticeable lemon flavor.

9. Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extract rounds out the peach flavor and adds warmth. Use a pure vanilla extract for the best results.

10. Arrowroot Powder
Arrowroot powder is a light, grain-free starch that works as a natural thickener for cobbler filling. It creates a silky, glossy finish without the heaviness of cornstarch and is easier on sensitive stomachs, making it a great clean-ingredient swap for gluten-free and allergen-friendly cooking. If you’d like to sub it out, this can easily be replaced at a 1:1 ratio with Tapioca Flour or Cornstarch.
