Let’s Get Baking: Step-by-Step Guide
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with vegan butter or coconut oil.
-
Make the peach filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, sugar, brown rice flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss gently to coat.
Chef’s Tip: For a thicker filling, add 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch to the peach mixture.
-
Prepare the cobbler topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Combine wet ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
-
Make the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Assemble the cobbler: Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping evenly over the peaches.
Chef’s Tip: For a more rustic look, don’t worry about completely covering the peaches with the topping.
-
Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
