    This easy-to-make healthier blueberry peach cobbler is a must-make summer dessert. It's dairy-free, vegan, and can easily be made gluten-free. Not summer? Substitute the peach with almost any fruit to enjoy all throughout the year.

    What's The Difference Between a Crisp, Cobbler, and Crumble?

    Crisps, cobblers, and crumbles have a lot in common. They're all a type of baked dessert with a fruit filling and a pastry-like topping. As the dessert warms up, the fruit juices simmer and you get this really lovely balance of sweet from the filling and savory from the topping.

    Cobblers

    Cobblers have a biscuit topping that's usually dropped onto the fruit filling in small, round dollops. When baked, it has the appearance of a cobbled road, hence the name.

    Crisps

    Crisps have a crispy, crunchy layer on top consisting of oats, sugar, flour, butter, nuts, and spices.

    Crumbles

    Crumbles are very similar to crisps. The only real difference is that crumbles have a crumbly (shocker) streusel-like topping that rarely has oats. It typically has a combination of flour, sugar, and butter.

    Although there are minor differences between crisps and crumbles, the two have become very interchangeable.

    Ingredients

    Unlike traditional cobblers, this healthier peach cobbler is made with far less sugar without compromising on taste.

    Filling:

    • Blueberries.
    • Peaches.
    • Maple syrup.
    • Lemon juice & zest.
    • Vanilla extract.
    • Tapioca starch.

    Topping:

    • AP flour.
    • Baking powder.
    • Granulated sugar: coconut sugar, brown sugar, organic cane sugar, maple sugar, etc.
    • Ground cinnamon.
    • Salt.
    • Melted coconut oil - refined or virgin will work.
    • Oat milk - or another milk of choice.

    How to Make Blueberry Peach Cobbler

    Fresh blueberries and peach slices in a skillet.

    Place the berries and peaches in a greased 9x13 pan or a 10-12 inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron works really well here).

    Mix together the maple syrup, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla. Add the tapioca starch and mix until dissolved. Pour over the fruit and gently mix to coat.

    A bowl of cobbler dough for the topping.

    To a medium-size bowl, add all the topping ingredients. Mix together until a dough forms (it'll be slightly sticky).

    Scoop out medium size balls and flatten them with your hands before adding the top of the fruit mixture. Repeat until you've used up all the topping.

    Place in the oven uncovered and bake for about 30 minutes or until the topping has turned golden brown.

    Substitutions & Variations

    Please remember that recipes are just a starting point.

    How can you make this blueberry peach cobbler using what you already have? Here are some ideas…

    • No peaches? - use nectarines instead and if they're out of season, use whatever produce is in season
    • No blueberries? - strawberries, blackberries, cherries, or raspberries would also be great instead.
    • No maple syrup? - use any granulated sugar instead.
    • No tapioca starch? - cornstarch or arrowroot flour will also work.
    • No oat milk? - use another type of milk.
    • Make it gluten-free - gluten-free flour blends tend to be really dry, so you may need to add more milk if you go this route. Mix everything together first before adding any more.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use frozen fruit?

    Yes, just make sure to fully thaw it first, otherwise, your cobbler will become soggy from the excess water in frozen fruit.

    Do you have to peel peaches for cobbler?

    No, you can leave the skin on. As the cobbler cooks, the peaches, including their skin, become really tender, so there's no need to peel them. Unless you want to, of course.

    How long does it last?

    Once it's cooled down, store it covered in the fridge and consume it within 2-3 days. I recommend just covering the pan it's cooked in if possible, otherwise, it can become really soggy if transferred to another container.
