This Gluten Free Canned Peach Cobbler is the easiest homemade dessert you can make any time of year, not just when fresh peaches are in season. Two cans of peaches are simmered with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and warm spices until thick and bubbly, then topped with a fluffy gluten free buttermilk biscuit topping and baked until golden.
It is the kind of cozy, comforting dessert that feels like it took all day but comes together in just 50 minutes from start to finish.
The best part about using canned peaches for this gluten free cobbler is that you get consistent results every single time. No worrying about whether the peaches are ripe enough or in season, and no peeling required.
The buttermilk biscuit topping bakes up light and tender on the inside with a slightly crisp top, which is the perfect contrast to the sweet and saucy peach filling underneath.
Serve it warm straight from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you have one of the best easy gluten free desserts you will ever make.

Storage
Store leftover peach cobbler covered tightly or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. The biscuit topping will soften as it sits but the flavor is still delicious. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds or warm the whole dish in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.
This cobbler does not freeze well due to the buttermilk biscuit topping, so it is best enjoyed fresh or within a few days of baking.
Top Tip
Make sure you drain your canned peaches well before starting the filling. Too much liquid in the pan will make the filling runny and prevent it from thickening properly. Reserve just the four tablespoons of peach juice needed for the arrowroot slurry and discard the rest. This one step makes all the difference in getting that perfectly thick and saucy peach filling.

Frequently Asked Questions
For this recipe I used arrowroot powder mixed with peach juice from the can to mix with the cobbler to thicken it. You can also use corn starch or tapioca flour for thickening a cobbler.
It is important to mix your thickening ingredient with water or peach juice in a small bowl before adding it to your cobbler. This will prevent the starch from lumping in your dessert and will leave a smooth texture.
Yes! For this recipe is important that you drain the canned peaches. You will reserve two tablespoons of liquid to mix with the arrowroot powder, but otherwise drain the juice from the peach cans.
For this recipe if you don't drain the peaches your cobbler will be really runny and there will be an abundance of liquid. I tried this recipe without draining the peaches and I advise draining them.
