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 son made this for all of us in February and it was delicious!!! We are all getting together this weekend and I would like to make it, but I am thinking of doing blueberry. Fresh blueberries are so expensive right now – could I use frozen? Or 1/2 frozen and 1/2 fresh as long as it is 3 cups? Thanks so much!
Hi Diane, I’m so glad you all enjoyed the peach cobbler! Thank you for your wonderful review! You can use frozen blueberries, though I might add an extra cup of blueberries because they tend to shrink when they cook. Enjoy!
Hi, could you use frozen peaches?
You can, yes.
Made this for the second time today. Wonderful recipe – very easy and soooo good! Thank you!
Hi Linda. I’m so glad that you are loving the cobbler recipe! Thank you for sharing your terrific review! Happy cooking!
Another great recipe. I added a little cinnamon to the peaches and decreased a small amount of sugar in the crust, but otherwise, made as written. Thanks for posting.
You bet, Jade! Thank you for sharing your recipe experience and fantastic review! Glad you enjoyed the cobbler!
Absolutely LOVED this recipe, my only subs were almond milk and GF flour, and it turned my chocolate-preferring husband into a peach cobbler addict—which is especially rare with GF desserts!
Question, could it work with subbing monkfruit/erythritol for the sugar? Has anyone tried?
Easy and delicious!
Thank you for sharing your positive review, Ann Marie! I’m so glad that you loved the cobbler!
I sent my adorable, sweet boyfriend to the store for 4-5 peaches to make this… and I can assure you the recipe still works beautifully with 3 nectarines LOL
Great recipe!
Hi Marin. I’m thrilled that the cobbler turned out wonderful for you, even with nectarines! Thank you for sharing your glowing review and fun feedback!
Absolutely delicious! I did sub oat milk since I don’t use soy milk, and It turned out perfect. I’ve made this cobbler several times and my family loves it. Thank you for this wonderful Vegan recipe.
You are very welcome, Lorraine! I am thrilled that you love the cobbler! Thank you for sharing your recipe experience and your glowing review! Wishing you lots of happy cooking!
Vegans-Please ignore my comment. I omitted about 1/8th cup sugar (I used brown) from the batter/dough portion bc I wanted some on top. When there were ten mins left on the timer I took her out and brushed on a simple egg wash made with 1/2 an egg and a tablespoon soy milk and then sprinkled 1/8th cup turbinado sugar for a shiny kinda crispy top. It came out sick and I wish I could post a photo. This is a perfect dairy free cobbler recipe!
Hi Nora,
Can this be made a day or two ahead of time? I’m 83 and not as fast in the kitchen as I once was.
Oh yes, it could. I hope you enjoy the peach cobbler!
Thanks and I’m sure my dinner guests will enjoy it. All your recipes are great!
Hi Nancy. Thank you for your support and wonderful feedback! I hope you enjoy the cobbler!
NTND: Nora Taylor never disappoints!
Another amazingly simple and delicious recipe from Nora. The fresh peaches in season right now really worked perfectly and made for a delicious dessert. I used organic cane sugar and Miyoko’s vegan butter blocks along with unbleached all purpose flour. I served it with So Delicious coconut vanilla ice cream. This was a perfect summertime dessert!
Will almond milk work in this recipe instead of soy?
Yes it will.
Will this cobbler recipe work with almond flour? I need a gluten free version and I have almond flour.

I’m not sure, it might but I haven’t tried it. It will be wetter with almond flour for sure, like the cobbler part might not bake properly. A different gluten free flour would work much better.
Way too much butter and sugar. I cut the sugar in half and it was plenty. I didn’t cut the butter at all and I had butter pooling on top when I took it out of the oven. If cut both in half it’s perfect recipe
I decided to read through the comments because I wondered if I had done something wrong in making this recipe. It’s so sweet and buttery, I can barely eat it! Next time, if I make it again, I’ll do exactly what you said and cut the sugar and butter in half.
Would this work substituting the peaches for apples? Anything different I would have to do? Thank you
It would work I think! I don’t see why not.
Nora, this was amazing!! Your recipes never disappoint. I am so thankful for your vegan cooking skills. It has allowed me to enjoy food again with all of my allergies. Thanks again and keep up the great work!! Best wishes
Hi CJ. I really appreciate you sharing your encouraging and validating feedback! I love that you are able to enjoy foods again that you love! Food allergies can be extremely challenging, and I’m glad my recipes are helping you! Thanks for your stellar review on the cobbler! Wishing you lots of happy cooking!
Nora Cooks never misses!! Delicious, fast, and super simple!! Going to make this for a second time today 🙂
Hi Riley. I am thrilled you are loving the cobbler! Thank for sharing your stellar review! Wishing you happy cooking!
Hi, Nora. I’m excited to try your recipe, but am wondering if I can use canned peaches considering the season. Thank you.
Hi Morgan. Yes, canned or frozen peaches would work just fine! Wishing you happy cooking!
If using canned peaches, should sugar be reduced?
You can reduce it a little if you want, but I don’t.
II made this today with frozen mixed berries and peaches (it’s January!). I cut all the sugar by ~1/3, and it came out perfectly. I knew I’d be serving it with vegan vanilla ice cream, so the lower sugar content made sense.
Thanks for such a quick and easy crowd pleaser! I will be making it a lot… with fresh peaches in the summer! 🍑🍑🍑
You are welcome, Alex. I’m so glad that you loved the recipe! Your cobbler with the mixed berries added sounds delicious! Thanks for your stellar review and feedback! Happy cooking!
I made this for the first time today. The crust is absolutely delicious. I used frozen peaches, heating in a saucepan first. Easy and so, so good! This will be the perfect dish to make for a crowd.
Hi Lisa. I agree, perfect dessert for a crowd, and I’m thrilled that you loved it! Thanks for sharing your fabulous review and cooking experience! Wishing you happy cooking!
Excellent no fail recipe. Have made with peaches, nectarines and apples. Many compliments. Thank you, Nora.
You are welcome, Gail! I’m thrilled you are loving ing the recipe! Thanks for your wonderful review!
Delicious!! Loved the batter and the tip for removing the skin went so well!
Hi Ana. I’m so glad you loved the cobbler! Thanks for your great review!
