Hi you guys. How was your weekend?
From around noon until 6pm on Saturday and Sunday, I was in my kitchen testing out new recipes. It’s actually my little weekend ritual. I jam out to music, dance around, get creative, trash the kitchen, and make my entire apartment smell like fresh baked goodies.
On Friday, I grabbed a fun lunch with Lindsay from Pinch of Yum (check out her blog). Then on Saturday night, I got to catch up with one of my best friends from college and guzzle a margarita the size of my face
In the midst of all of this, I made this juicy peach blueberry cobbler. Packed with fresh, juicy ripe peaches and bursting with blueberries. OH MY GAWD… it’s amazing.
When was the last time you had peach cobbler? If you can’t remember, then perhaps it’s time to bring back this timeless, classic dessert.
What’s unique about this recipe is that it is dairy-free (vegan, too!) and a tad better for you than the classic version.
How so, you say?
-
Coconut oil in the cobbler instead of butter. I love the slightly subtle coconut flavor it gives the crust. Mmmm and it still gets all golden brown. The benefit to using coconut oil as a replacement for butter is that you generally don’t need to use as much.
-
Less sugar. I don’t know about you but I like to taste fruit in my cobblers, not sugar. This only has slightly more than a 1/2 cup of sugar in the entire recipe.
-
Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Coconut Milk. Have you guys tried this stuff? It’s SO good and makes the cobbler topping irresistible, while still allowing the recipe to remain dairy-free. You can also use regular almond milk!
This cobber would be absolutely perfect to serve to your family and friends over the 4th of July or any summer gathering. Definitely a recipe I’m going to make over and over again.
Of course, it is best served warm with ice cream, frozen yogurt, or even a little whipped cream. I served mine with coconut milk ice cream and nearly licked the plate clean.
Enjoy this one! xo

Holy moly does this look super fantastic!
Yummers! Love the idea of using coconut oil to replace the butter. Will have to give that a try. Thanks Monique!
I haven’t found good peaches yet, but this looks like a great way to use them!
What do you think would work best to make this gluten free? Oat flour? GF All-purpose? Coconut Flour?
GF all purpose for sure!
Oh my goodness. I just made it and it’s so dilicious. I am losing my mind. I made it with peaches and strawberries and I used part flour part almond meal. Super tender.
If I didn’t want to gf all purpose flour can I use something else like almond flour?
Hmm I’m not quite sure it would turn out the same. I think a mixture of coconut and almond might work, but again I’m not certain!
Love the use of the alternative ingredients especially the almond milk which I love! I made this and it turned out absolutely delicious!
THIS WAS AMAZING. I had all the ingredients I needed in my cabinet and fridge, which was perfect for a sweet craving while the rest of my non-vegan family enjoyed brownies! It was sweet and fluffy, the blueberries were a delicious addition to the warm peaches and the cobbler was a great dessert paired with my donut shop coffee. Even my family sampled the cobbler and said it was delicious!!
Found this recipe this afternoon while looking for dairy free recipes. I Made this tonight, and it was delicious! I didn’t miss the butter or milk! Thanks for a fabulous recipe!
Awesome!!
I made this last night when hosting and it was delicious, everyone loved it! We actually baked it in a Traeger and served it while hot with a side of vanilla ice cream. Perfect summer dessert, and didn’t have to feel guilty about it!
Love that! So delicious 🙂
Such an easy summer dessert, lovely when it’s nice and warm with either vanilla ice cream or sweat cream, YUM!!!
Yes, so perfect for summer!! Thanks for the review!
This is a keeper! Searching for dairy free recipe and this was a perfect fit. I used frozen blueberries instead and sprinkled about 2 Tblsp cornstarch after they were mixed w/peaches.
Family loved it. Will try an oatmeal topping next.
I admit we didn’t miss the butter that’s how delicious this was.
Oh yay! I’m so happy you found this recipe and enjoyed it, Sue 🙂
Made this with gluten free flour and it was delicious. Love that the sweetness of the fruit is the main taste. Will make again!! Huge hit with the family.
Just made this and it’s so delicious! Love the combo of peaches and blueberries; two awesome summer fruits! My peach/blueberry and sugar mix was liquidy- wondering if this is normal? Also, I made it a day early, do you have storage suggestions? Thanks!
So glad you loved it!! Do you mean liquidy before baking or after? And sorry if I’m late with storage suggestions, but I’d recommend cooling it completely, covering with foil/plastic wrap, and storing in the fridge. You can let it come up to room temp before eating or toss it in a 350º oven until warm 🙂
