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.
This is so delicious!! I’ve always been a little intimidated by cobblers but your recipe was straightforward and came together easily. I didn’t have vegan butter so used 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons canola oil and it was perfect. Could this basic recipe be used for other fruit cobblers? Thanks so much for sharing this delicious recipe! BTW … making another one today. 😀
You bet, Cyndi! I’m so thrilled your cobbler turned out wonderful! I think this would work well with other fruits. I know others have used different fruits and commented it turned out delicious! Thank you for taking time to share your wonderful review and feedback! Wishing you lots of happy cooking!
Sooooo delicious. Simple recipe to follow, and it’s been loved by vegans and non-vegans in my family alike. Thank you, Nora, you knocked it out of the park again!
You are welcome, Sammi! So awesome the cobbler is a hit! Thanks for your wonderful feedback and review!
I don’t know where I went wrong but this turned out to be the mushiest peach cobbler I’ve ever had 😭 It smelled good and tasted fine the day it was made but was super wet and gross after that. Most of the time cobbler leftovers are fine to me just rebaked for a bit but this one wasn’t like that. The dough looked oily and wrong when I compared it to the pictures but I didn’t deviate from the recipe. 🙁 I’ve never had a bad recipe from this blog so I feel like it was definitely my error but I don’t know how. There also seemed to be way too much dough for an 8×8 pan.
I’m sorry to hear that; I literally just made it again yesterday and it was the same as always, just like the photos. Did you make any substitutions at all? What kind of vegan butter did you use? Double check all the ingredients and amounts to make sure everything was accurately measured. The topping for this particular cobbler tastes like a sugar cookie! It shouldn’t be wet or mushy (of course the peach layer is rather wet, it’s not a cake).
I used country crock plant butter. I’m 99% sure I measured everything right. I’ll try it again sometime and hopefully be back with some kind of update. 😭 I definitely will try a bigger pan too. The peach part was pretty much as expected. The topping did have a good flavor at least!
Hi Emma- I just made this with Country Crock Plant Based butter with avacado oil and I came to the comments to see if anyone else had this problem. I think it’s the butter! Like you, I have never been disappointed with any recipe on this site. In fact, I t’s my go-to source for recipes and I’ve come to rely so much on the consistency of the recipes that I don’t even try them out before making them for a gathering! But this time I think the butter is the culprit. So, after reading your comment, but before I put it in the oven, I more than doubled the flour and that really helped. Next time I’ll make this with a different brand of butter. If anyone else sees this comment, and it did turn out, what brand of butter did you use?
This is ine of my favorite dishes. Nora your recipes are always perfect for me. This cobbler is made weekly during peach season.
Hi Sophia! Your feedback makes me smile! I’m thrilled you are loving the cobbler! Thanks for sharing your awesome review and feedback!
nora you are my lord and saviour i love your recipes they’re so good and my family loves them
aw thank you!
Can I use oat milk instead of soy milk?
Yes you can.
Can i use cupcake mold to bake instead?
You probably could sure.
This is easily the best peach cobbler I’ve had. My omni husband LOVES it and said it’s better than the non-vegan, made-from-scratch one he had at a high end restaurant recently. I used fresh Georgia peaches and left the skin on. I was skeptical of the batter mixture because it did seem like a buttery cookie dough, but it turned out perfect. Worked great in a 2 qt square dish and I wouldn’t recommend using a larger dish unless doubling the recipe (which I wish I did because we could easily eat this whole batch before it cools off!).
Hi Megan. How awesome that you guys loved the cobbler! I’m thrilled! Thanks for sharing your stellar review and feedback! Wishing you lots of happy cooking!
Hi Nora,
I am a novice in the kitchen and have even less experience with baking, so the idea of making a peach cobbler was a bit inimidating; however, your recipe was straightforward and simple, and a great way to use the peaches from the tree in our backyard, which produces more fruit than we can normally eat. Your cobbler recipe drew rave reviews from my family, all of whom are not vegan. Since I made this the first time for a Fourth of July gathering, it may become an Indepedence Day tradition to celebrate the with your cobbler. Thank you!
Hi John! I love the idea of your new tradition, and am thrilled that the cobbler was a hit! Thanks for sharing your encouraging words and fantastic review! Wishing you lots of happy cooking!
Hi, Nora! Made my first peach cobbler yesterday and it turned out amazing! So easy but so rewarding. Thank you so much for sharing all your recipes!!!
You are welcome, Steph! I’m thrilled your cobbler turned out amazing! Thanks for your terrific review and feedback!
So good. My mother in law loved it and we could not tell it was dairy free!
This is so good! Just changed a 2 ingredients. Baking powder, i used
Baking soda and white vinegar and coconut milk instead of soy milk. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful review! I’m so glad you loved the cobbler recipe!
I haven’t made it yet. Plan to make it for Christmas. My grandchildren have reasons why they can’t have a lot of ingredients in desserts. I think with a few substitutions I can make this one work and have homemade banana icecream with it. Only has bananas as the only ingredient.
OMG!!! I made this with fresh strawberries and it’s amazing! I have to stop eating it but I don’t want to! Thank you so much Nora!
You bet, Asha! I’m thrilled it turned out wonderful! I bet it is great with strawberries! Thanks for your fabulous review and feedback!
I couldn’t find fresh peaches, would canned be okay?
Sure! For canned, drain them before using. Happy baking!
If using canned how many would I need? I live in the desert in Vegas and we don’t have fresh peaches atm and I’m planning to make this for Friendsgiving this week.
Hi Maria. You need about 3 cups of drained peaches for the cobbler. Cans come in different sizes, and a 16 ounce can of sliced peaches will result in about 2 to 2½ cups when drained. Hopefully this will help as a guide. Enjoy!
I have frozen peaches I’d love to use for this. Can I just swap or would I need to alter any ingredients/baking time? Thank you!
Hi Katie. Frozen peaches will work! Thaw and drain them before using. Everything else remains as per the recipe. Happy cooking, and enjoy the pie!
can I use cinnamon if I can how much would you prefer for this recipe
Sure! You can use 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
Thank you also how many peaches if you have to get small peaches that are only available
You are welcome! Ensure you peaches come to 3 cups sliced or diced peaches. I’m not sure how many that would be, as it depends on the size of the peaches. Enjoy!
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!
Thank you, Nora, and thank you, Patricia, for this delicious recipe. I am gluten-free, so I made it per Patricia’s suggestion and used coconut and almond flour instead, and wowza! Even though there aren’t fresh peaches in November, we planned already to bring this to our family’s Thanksgiving gathering. It’s a winner, and it deserves FIVE BIG STARS! ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️ We paired it with the Trader Joe’s Vanilla Oat Ice cream. So good!
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!
After I made it with peaches I wanted to try a blueberry version. Could you just sub 3 cups of blueberries do you think?
I think you could, yes, but I haven’t tried it. Sounds good though!
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!
Thanks for the delicious recipe! Made it with plums we wanted to use up. Everyone raved over it. Then used up the rest of the plums, substituting canola oil for the vegan butter. Made it again using peaches with the canola oil. Of course I was asked for the recipe! I’m not much into cooking or baking, but this recipe is easy!
You are welcome, Anna! Thank you for sharing your fruit exchange ideas and wonderful review!
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.
