Handy Kitchen Tools You May Need

• 13″ baking dish  – best if your dish has a deep side – min. 2-3 inches
• large glass mixing bowl
• medium glass mixing bowl
• silicone spatula
• measuring cups
• measuring spoons
• glass liquid measuring cup
• pastry cutter – to cut in and mix the butter
• cutting board
• sharp knife
• cooling rack

Sugar Free Peach Cobbler Ingredients

• Peaches. Feel free to use nectarines if you prefer.
• All-purpose flour. I use organic to reduce the amount of pesticide exposure
• Organic monk fruit. This is a plant-based sugar substitute. Of course, you can use regular white sugar if you prefer. I would strongly recommend organic white sugar.
• Baking powder. Aluminum-free preferred
• Ground cinnamon. I prefer Ceylon cinnamon
• Sea salt
• Lemon juice. Just a touch is all you need.
• Nondairy butter (chilled). My favorite brands for baking are Earth Balance and Miyoko’s Creamery
• Nondairy milk. I prefer organic soy milk for baking. It has a richer creamier taste and texture.

optional ingredients you might want to consider

• Berries. Such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc. in place of peaches
• Dried fruit. Add some dried fruit to your biscuit dough, like raisins, figs, mango, or cranberries.
• Sourdough starter or discard. If you want to make sourdough drop biscuits and have some extra sourdough starter or sourdough discard, I highly recommend using it!
  • Just reduce the flour by 1/4 cup and then 1/2 cup of starter.

How To Make Sugar-Free Peach Cobbler

STEP 1: PREPARATION
Wash and dry completely the ripe peaches.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

NOTE: There is no need to butter the baking dish.

STEP 2: PREPARE THE PEACH FILLING
Peel the skin of the peaches, if you desire, then slice the peaches into thin sections – either slices or small pieces.

Place the sliced peaches into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of monk fruit and cinnamon over the peaches, add the lemon juice, and gently stir to combine everything all together. Set this bowl aside.

STEP 3: PREPARE THE DROP BISCUITS
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of monk fruit, baking powder, and salt.

Cut the chilled non-dairy butter in with the flour mixture, and mix with the pastry cutter until the butter and flour are crumbly.

Add the non-dairy milk and mix until just combined. Do not overmix or you will have tough, dry biscuits.

STEP 4: ASSEMBLE THE COBBLER
Pour the peach mixture into the baking dish.

Using a spoon or a medium-sized ice cream scoop, dollop the biscuit dough onto the top of the peaches. Spread the dough gently, if you desire, or keep the dough shaped into large biscuits for eating.

STEP 5: BAKE
Place the sugar free peach cobbler into a preheated oven to cook for approximately 40 minutes or until the peaches are bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown.

Take the cobbler out of the oven and let it cool on a cooling rack to room temperature before eating – approximately 15-20 minutes.

STEP 6: SERVE & ENJOY!
Once cooled, grab your favorite plate or bowl and scoop out a delicious serving of sugar free peach cobbler.

Consider adding a scoop of your favorite non-dairy ice cream and ENJOY!

How To Store

This sugar-free peach cobbler is best stored in the fridge with either a piece of aluminum foil or plastic wrap on top.

For even more protection consider storing it in an airtight container.

Once your baking dish is completely cool, cover it tightly, and place it in the refrigerator.

Any leftover cobbler will stay fresh in the fridge for approximately 3-4 days.

Notes About The Recipe

Fresh juicy peaches are always the best but if it is off-season and you cannot find fresh peaches, feel free to use frozen peaches instead.

If you prefer nectarines go ahead and use them. Nectarines work just as well, and you can use the same number of nectarines as peaches.

If you do not like peaches OR nectarines, berries will work beautifully in this recipe. Berries such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries are fantastic. You will need enough to fully cover the bottom of your baking dish, and 1-2″ high. I’d say approximately 3-4 cups.

You can also combine fruits. Peaches and berries go very well together, so get creative and eat all of the fruit!

If you are gluten-sensitive or have Celiac disease, it is easy to make this cobbler gluten-free. Swap out the all-purpose flour for either almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. It tastes delicious and you will have yourself a delicious easy gluten-free peach cobbler!

If you are looking to make a healthy keto peach cobbler, I would recommend using coconut flour instead of all-purpose flour.

The Sweet Choice: Sugar Free vs. Traditional

I chose to make this peach cobbler recipe suga free using monk fruit, which is a plant-based non-nutritive sweetener.

It is not a chemical-based artificial sweetener, like Splenda or Equal which are also sugar-free sweeteners, but rather a natural sugar-free sweetener made from a plant source.

If you’d like to use regular sugar, feel free to do so. The measurements will be the same as the non-nutritive sweetener.

That said, if you do decide to use regular cane sugar, I strongly recommend you use organic sugar. The sugar cane crop is one of the most highly pesticide-sprayed crops out there.

Using organic sugar, although not particularly the healthiest choice, at least you will be minimizing your toxic exposure.

A Word About Monk Fruit

Doug, my guy with Parkinson’s, has a sweet tooth so I am always looking for ways to make treats still sweet but made more naturally, without the added chemicals or the blood sugar spike.

For this sugar free peach cobbler, I use monk fruit instead of white sugar. Monk fruit is a small round fruit native to southern China. The sweetest part of the fruit comes from a compound called mogrosides.

To make monk fruit sweetener, the fruit is crushed and its juice is extracted. From the juice comes the mogrosides, which is the sweetest part of the fruit and over 100 times sweeter than table sugar.

There is some evidence showing that mogrosides contain antioxidants, which help to protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals. Damage to our cells causes inflammation and can lead to other health problems like cancer. So in essence monk fruit has anti-inflammatory properties.
