I love making sweet treats that taste amazing and are better for you. This Healthier Peach Cobbler is one of those recipes. It has juicy peaches, a golden oat topping, and only six simple ingredients! Plus, it’s super easy to make and smells incredible while it’s baking. Let’s get started!
👩🍳 Method
Prepare the Peach Base
Start by washing and drying your peaches. Take two of them and slice them thinly. These slices will form the juicy base of your cobbler. Once sliced, lay them evenly on the bottom of a small or medium-sized baking dish. Try not to overlap them too much this way, each bite will have a nice peach layer underneath. Set the dish aside while you prepare the batter.
Make the Batter
Now take your third peach and chop it into small cubes. This peach will be blended into the oat batter to give it flavor and moisture. In a food processor or blender, add the chopped peach along with the rolled oats, egg, coconut oil, honey, and baking powder. Blend the mixture just until smooth this is important. You don’t want it to turn into a paste. A few oat bits are totally fine and will add texture.
Pour and Spread the Batter
Once your batter is ready, pour it over the sliced peaches in your baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently spread it out. Make sure the batter covers the fruit evenly, but don’t press it down too hard. The batter will bake up over the fruit and create that soft, crumbly topping that makes cobbler so good.
Bake Until Golden
Place your dish in a preheated oven at 200°C (about 400°F). Bake it for around 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and lightly firm to the touch. The peach slices underneath will soften and get juicy while the topping turns golden and slightly crisp.
Let It Cool Before Serving
Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes. This gives the cobbler time to firm up a little and makes it easier to scoop. It also helps the flavors come together better.
