Ingredients & Substitutions
This easy recipe requires just 11 simple ingredients.
- Peaches: deliciously ripe and juicy!
- Agave nectar: use maple syrup or honey if desired. For less sugar, I recommend substituting low-glycemic agave.
- Spices: ground cinnamon, cloves and salt.
- Almond flour: this recipe uses almond flour rather than all purpose flour. Almond flour is a gluten free, lower carb and higher protein option making this dessert healthier than traditional cobbler. Plus, nutty flour paired with sweet peaches is a heavenly combination.
- Baking powder: leaving agent whisked together with almond flour.
- Vanilla extract: pure is best, but imitation will do the trick!
- Egg: adds delicious flavor to biscuit topping.
- Coconut oil: or sub unsalted butter if you're not worried about keeping this recipe dairy free.
- Date paste: you can buy date paste online or at the store (look near the jams/jelly). It's also easy to make your own by blending pitted dates with hot water until a spreadable consistency is reached. Sub no-sugar added fruit preserves of choice if desired. If you want to make this recipe keto, I recommend using 3 tablespoons of low-glycemic agave in lieu of date paste.

Handy Tip
Date paste or spread is available on Amazon and at most grocery stores.
I recommend looking by the jellies & jams, honey or peanut butter.
If you don't find it there, try the baking isle by the natural/alternative sweeteners.
Still no luck? You can also purchase pitted dates (or remove pits yourself) and blend them up with a little hot water until they reach a spreadable texture!
If you'd rather not make your own date paste and your local grocery store doesn't carry it, you can substitute a no sugar added fruit preserve of your choosing.

Recipe notes:

Substitute a no sugar added fruit preserve of your choosing! Agave: if you're following a keto diet and wish to reduce the carbs in this recipe, I recommend omitting both agave and date paste and substituting 5 tablespoons of low-glycemic agave such as this Madhava Agave Five! Use 2 tablespoons to coat your peaches and 3 in your biscuit topping batter (instead of date paste). This swap will reduce total net carbs to approximately 12.7 per serving.Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Slice peaches and place them in a 9x13" baking pan (you can peel your peaches as well if that is your preference)!
- Drizzle agave over top of the peaches and sprinkle with cinnamon/cloves. Mix until all slices are well coated.
- Whisk almond flour, salt and baking powder together in a small mixing bowl. Add vanilla extract, egg, date paste and coconut oil. Mix until everything is well combined (I normally mix by hand but use an electric mixer if you'd like).
- Spoon batter over peach mixture in large clumps and then cobble together until fruit is mostly covered.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
- Allow to cool, plate and serve.
- Add toppings such as dairy free whip cream or ice cream if desired and enjoy!
Storing leftovers:
- Allow cobbler to cool completely and cover baking dish in plastic wrap. You can also transfer leftovers to an airtight, food storage container. Refrigerate for 2-3 days. To reheat, microwave in 30 second increments until warmed through.

Hi, Can canned or frozen peaches be used? Just asking in case I want to make when peach season is over.
Garlic Salt & Lime says
Hi, Ginger! I haven't tried canned or frozen peaches in this recipe, so I'm not 100% sure. I think it would probably would fine, though. I would suggest draining and patting canned peaches dry. I would allow frozen peaches to thaw fully and try to soak up excess moisture from them as well.
