Description
In this cakey cobbler, a simple lavender-scented batter is poured over juicy summer peaches and cherries then baked until golden. This vegan cobbler makes an incredibly delicious summer dessert and is quick and simple to make! Try enjoying it warm with your favorite vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 5 small/medium peaches, cut into roughly 1/4 to 1/8-inch thick slices
- 2 cups pitted and halved cherries
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp dried culinary lavender
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup melted vegan butter
- 1 cup oat milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- vegan vanilla ice cream for serving, optional
Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 375F degrees. While your oven is pre-heating, prepare your cherries and peaches, then add them to a 2-quart baking dish. Toss gently to mix. Zest your lemon, setting 1 tsp aside. Cut the lemon in half then squeeze the juice of half of the lemon over the fruit and stir once more.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar and the lavender. Use your fingers to rub the lavender into the sugar. Once the lavender has broken down a bit and the sugar is highly fragrant, set it aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and the reserved 1 tsp of lemon zest. Whisk in the lavender sugar. Add the melted vegan butter, oat milk, and vanilla extract and whisk until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter over the fruit.
Bake the cobbler in your pre-heated 375F degree oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the top is beginning to turn golden and the juices from the fruits are bubbling.
You can serve the cobbler warm with vanilla ice cream but it’s also equally delicious cold! Makes about 6 servings.
Notes
- You can easily make this cobbler gluten free by using a gluten free 1:1 baking flour mix. The one from Bob’s Red Mill is my go-to. You’ll use the same amount of gluten free flour as the all-purpose flour called for in the recipe.
- If you don’t have dried culinary lavender you can either leave it out completely, or for a similar flavor, use 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme or rosemary.
