- If you're in a pinch, you can use arrowroot power instead of the tapioca flour.

How to Make Paleo Peach Cobbler
Start by pre-heating the oven to 350F degrees and greasing an 8x8 pan and set it aside.
The next step is chopping and peeling the peaches and placing them in a saucepan over medium heat along with the coconut sugar and tapioca. Stir frequently while it cooks and allow a syrup to form and thicken for 10 minutes.
Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, add all of the dry ingredients and mix them together. Add in all the wet ingredients then mix together until just mixed.
Take the topping mixture and gently spread it on top of the peach mixture. It doesn't have to cover each part as the syrup will seep through.
Place the container in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the mixture is bubbly and the crust is golden. Enjoy!
How to Serve
The best way to serve this is nice and warm topped with vanilla ice cream! It's absolutely delicious and a perfect contrast.
Another yummy serving option is topping it off with fresh whipped cream!
Storage and Reheating
Before storing away the cobbler, make sure it's completely cooled. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
To reheat it, the best way is to place it in an oven safe dish and reheat it in the oven on 350F degrees until it's heated to the desired temperature.
FAQs
No, you don't have to peel the peaches before you make the peach cobbler. If you do leave the peaches on, I highly suggest you use organic peaches!
I always recommend fresh peaches whenever possible for cobbler! Most canned peaches have lots of added sugar (or a form of it) and sometimes other not so great ingredients
Peach cobbler and peach pie have some similarities, but also have big differences. For one, peach pie has a bottom crust, and while it can not have a top crust, it typically does, whether it's a pastry crust or a crumb topping. Peach cobbler has no crust on the bottom, and has a thicker, more bread like topping.
You'll need some flour or a thickening agent to thicken the filling for cobbler. This recipe uses tapioca flour as the thickener, as it's paleo friendly!

Can you use another type of oil rather than palm ?
Rachel Rivera says
You can definitely use butter but it will no longer be dairy free, or you could use ghee. While I haven't tried it with another oil, if I were to, I would use coconut oil! I would guess it would come out just fine, but if you try it please let me know how it turned out!
