Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler Recipe

Peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches are the star of this cobbler, providing natural sweetness and a juicy texture.

Sugar: Adds sweetness to the cobbler, balancing the tartness of the peaches.

Gluten-free flour: A blend of flours that do not contain gluten, essential for those with gluten sensitivities.

Baking powder: Helps the cobbler rise and become fluffy.

Milk: Adds moisture to the batter, creating a smooth and creamy texture.

Butter: Provides richness and a buttery flavor to the cobbler.

When preparing the peaches, make sure they are ripe but firm to ensure they hold their shape during baking. If you find the peaches are too soft, they may turn mushy, affecting the texture of your cobbler. To peel the peaches easily, blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath. The skins should slip off effortlessly, leaving you with perfectly peeled peaches for your gluten-free peach cobbler.

• Allow the peach cobbler to cool completely at room temperature before storing or freezing.
• For short-term storage, cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
• For longer storage, transfer the peach cobbler to an airtight container. This helps maintain its flavor and texture.
• To freeze, cut the peach cobbler into individual portions. Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. This prevents freezer burn and makes it easy to thaw only what you need.
• Label the container with the date to keep track of its freshness. Frozen peach cobbler can be stored for up to 3 months.
• When ready to enjoy, thaw the peach cobbler in the refrigerator overnight. This ensures even thawing and prevents the cobbler from becoming soggy.
• To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the peach cobbler in an oven-safe dish and cover with aluminum foil. Heat for 15-20 minutes or until warmed through.
• For a quicker option, microwave individual portions on a microwave-safe plate for 1-2 minutes, checking frequently to avoid overheating.
• Serve the reheated peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.

• Oven Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
