Ingredients
Peaches– These make a great, fruity dessert! The other ingredients in the peach filling make these extra sweet and delicious. When picking peaches, pick one that is slightly soft and has some golden-hues to it. You can also use frozen peaches here, but be sure to allow them to fully defrost prior to baking so they aren’t holding on to extra moisture.
Coconut Sugar– A great natural, plant-based sweetener. Coconut sugar is great for baking.
Arrowroot– A thickening agent. This helps the peach filling become thick, as well as holds the ingredients together for the cobbler topping.
Lemon juice & cinnamon– Brightens the flavors of the peach filling.
Cassava flour– The base of the cobbler topping. I highly recommend Otto’s Cassava Flour. It is the only kind I use; it’s the best I’ve found. Cassava flour creates a nice, crispy topping.
Baking powder, coconut oil, coconut milk, vanilla extract- This will create the best cobbler topping when combined with the cassava flour. It’s sweet, crumbly, and crispy – all the best qualities of a cobbler.
