Cooking Tips and Considerations for Making Vegan Peach Cobbler
- Use vegan butter or coconut oil in place of regular butter in the cobbler topping.
- Use a non-dairy milk, such as almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk as your vegan milk option.
- If you want a thicker consistency for the cobbler topping, you can use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
- For added flavor, try adding spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg to the cobbler topping.
- Top the cobbler with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious dessert.
- I used canned peaches in this cobbler recipe since their less work and you don't have to worry about finding them in season. Peach season is in the summer, but peach cobbler is a staple during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. If you choose fresh peaches you will need to go with your own simple syrup.
