This is the best and easiest Vegan Peach Cobbler! Perfect when peaches are in season, you will want to make this over and over again.
Does anyone else enjoy peach season as much as I do? This time of year peaches start showing up at the Farmer’s Market, and they are beyond incredible! We eat plenty of them sliced for snacks, and I even put some peeled and diced peach on my pizza last week. It was actually delicious! But my other favorite thing to do with fresh peaches? MAKE PEACH COBBLER!
Specifically, this vegan peach cobbler. It truly is the best, with a perfectly sweet topping and plenty of fresh peaches. Plus it’s easy to make!
How to make Vegan Peach Cobbler:
(See recipe card at the bottom of the post for the full recipe and print options)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish. Prepare your peaches. I simply sliced them, but you can peel them and dice them if you’d like.
To peel peaches: The skin doesn’t bother me, but to easily peel peaches, boil a large pot of water, then turn off the heat and drop the peaches in, whole, for about 10 seconds. Then place them in an ice bath or run them under cold water. After that, the skins can be peeled off easily.
Next, place the peaches in the dish, and sprinkle with sugar and cornstarch. Mix well in the dish and spread out evenly. Make the simple cobbler batter, then spread it on top of the peaches. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden and the peaches are bubbling.
Can I use frozen or canned peaches?
It’s definitely better with fresh peaches, but you can use frozen or canned peaches as well. For frozen, thaw and drain them before using. For canned, drain them before using.
How ripe should fresh peaches be for cobbler?
You want peaches that are ripe but still somewhat firm, not too soft and mushy or your cobbler will be mushy as well.
Can I make this in advance?
No, I wouldn’t suggest it. It’s really best fresh, though I enjoy any leftovers from the refrigerator for a few days. You could prepare your peaches ahead of time, so it’s faster to put together when you are ready to serve it.
Serve peach cobbler warm with a scoop of non-dairy vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream. Leftovers keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, and taste great cold or warmed up. Enjoy!

Easy Vegan Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
Peaches:
- 3 cups sliced or diced peaches (about 4 large peaches) peeled if desired, see Notes
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Batter:
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon soy milk
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 2 quart baking dish. A 8x8 dish will work as well. You can even use a 9x13 dish but the cobbler will be more spread out.
- Prepare the peaches: Slice or dice your peaches (peel if desired, see Note on how to best do this). Place them in the casserole dish, then sprinkle the 1/4 cup of sugar and cornstarch on top. Mix right in the dish to combine, then spread the peaches out evenly in the dish.
- Make the batter: In a large bowl, mix together the melted vegan butter, sugar, vanilla and soy milk. Now add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix to combine. The batter will be thick, with a cookie dough consistency.
- Using a spatula or your hands, sprinkle the batter on top of the peaches and spread out a little bit. It doesn't have to be perfect, or cover all of the peaches.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is slightly golden and the peaches are bubbling. Remove from the oven and serve warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes
- How to peel peaches: To easily peel peaches, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Turn off the heat once boiling, and immerse the peaches in the water for about 10 seconds, then remove them and place them in an ice bath, or run them under cold water. Then the peels will come off so easily.
- For gluten free, replace the flour with a gluten free flour blend.
- To make this for a large crowd, double and make in a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
My husband love peach pie- he now loves your Peach Cobbler better than any peach pie he’s ever had !!! My grandchildren loved it- I’m like the Peach Cobbler Hero 🦸♀️ ❤️❤️❤️
I love that you are the peach cobbler hero! So fun! Thanks for your fun and fabulous feedback and review!
This was delicious! I used nectarines instead of peaches as I had a lot of extra nectarines to use up and it still turned out great. Thank you for your recipes!
You are welcome, Natalie! I’m thrilled the cobbler turned out delicious! Thanks for sharing your fabulous review!
Delicious recipe. I will definitely make this again. Just wondering: which vegan butter is best. My cobbler never browned and I think it’s because of the vegan butter I used. Thanks so much for this recipe!
You are welcome, Muriel. I’m glad you found the recipe delicious! My favorite butter is Miyoko’s. Thanks for sharing your fantastic review!
YUM! Thank you for this recipe! Just wanted to share my version for all you gluten-freers! I subbed out the cup of all purpose flour with half cup coconut flour and half cup almond flour. I also used coconut sugar instead of white sugar, and added a bit of cinnamon. I used almond extract instead of vanilla, but that seemed too overpowering, so I’d do vanilla next time. It turned out rather caramelized, kinda chewy and delicious! EASY and lovely…
Hi Patricia. Thanks for sharing your GF ideas, and your wonderful review! I’m glad you like the recipe!
So good and so easy! Made it for a group of non vegan friends and everyone loved it and asked for the recipe!
Hi Anna. I’m glad the cobbler was a hit! Thanks for sharing your wonderful review and feedback!
Would this still turn out well if I replaced half the vegan butter with applesauce?
Other commenters have had good luck subbing some of the butter with alternatives, so I’m sure applesauce will work well too!
Turned out great. Used fresh peaches from the “Georgia Peach Truck”. Added 2 tbls of maple syrup and a whisper of cinnamon. The second batch will be amazing.
Your cobbler sounds divine! Thanks for sharing your fabulous feedback and review!
What type of granulated sugar are you using in this recipe?
I always use organic granulated sugar (any brand) to ensure it’s vegan.
