Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Canned Peaches: I find using canned peaches a time-saver. They’re sweet and soft. If you prefer fresh, about 6-8 ripe peaches work well. You may need to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your fruit.
All-Purpose Flour: This is the backbone of the cobbler. Gluten-free flour can be a good alternative if needed, but check the blend for the best results. I often keep it simple and stick with all-purpose for a classic taste.
Milk: Any type of milk works—whole, skim, or even almond milk! I prefer whole milk for a richer flavor. If you’re dairy-free, try oat milk or coconut milk for a different twist.
Butter: Unsalted is what I recommend, as it controls the salt level in your dessert. If you need a dairy-free option, coconut oil or a dairy-free butter can substitute nicely.
What is the Best Way to Mix the Batter without Clumps?
Mixing the batter smoothly is key for a great texture in your cobbler. Here’s how to do it:
- Start with the dry ingredients—flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt—in a bowl.
- Whisk them together well to avoid any lumps.
- Add your milk and vanilla extract, then mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep it light.
- If you see small lumps, that’s okay! They will not affect the outcome and may even make the cobbler fluffier.
Follow these tips, and you’ll have a delicious, easy-to-make peach cobbler that everyone will enjoy!
Easy Canned Peach Cobbler
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup, drained (reserve syrup)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious dessert takes about 10 minutes to prepare, and then you’ll bake it for 40-45 minutes. Altogether, you can have it ready in about an hour, perfect for a quick and tasty treat!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is super important because it gets everything nice and hot for baking.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Pour your melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. This buttery base is what makes the cobbler so delicious!
3. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together well to make sure everything is mixed evenly—this will help create a smooth batter.
4. Add Milk and Extras:
Now, add the milk and vanilla extract (if you’re using it) to the dry ingredients. Mix until it’s smooth and without lumps. It’s okay if there are a few small ones; they’ll bake out!
5. Combine with Butter:
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Remember, don’t stir it! You’ll want the butter to stay at the bottom to make a lovely crust.
6. Add the Peaches:
Take those drained peaches and spoon them evenly over the batter. This step is important to get that delicious peach flavor in every bite. If you like, you can sprinkle cinnamon over the peaches for extra warmth and flavor!
7. Bake:
Place your baking dish in the oven and let it bake uncovered for about 40-45 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden brown and the batter has risen around those sweet peaches.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, and for that extra special touch, top it with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if you like!

FAQ about Easy Canned Peach Cobbler
Can I Use Fresh Peaches Instead of Canned?
Absolutely! If you prefer fresh peaches, use about 6-8 ripe peaches. Just peel, slice them, and adjust the sugar based on their sweetness. Fresh peaches will give a delightful flavor!
What Can I Use Instead of Milk?
If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, almond milk, oat milk, or any non-dairy milk works great! You can also use water in a pinch, but milk will add creaminess to the batter.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, or microwave individual servings.
Can I Make This Cobbler Gluten-Free?
Yes, you can! Swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure it contains xanthan gum, as that helps provide structure to baked goods.
