To make peach cobbler (or any other fruit variety) healthy, there are some easy swaps that can be made. Rather than using canned fruit for the filling which some recipes call for, use unsweetened fresh or frozen fruit then add a natural sweetener to the filling mix such as honey, pure maple syrup, or coconut palm sugar.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Stir in the milk and the reserved syrup. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Arrange the peaches over the batter. Bake for 1 hour. The cobbler is done when the batter rises around the peaches and the crust is thick and golden brown.
In a baking dish, add the peaches and batter and bake for approximately 35 minutes (or until golden brown!). Pro Tip: Let your cobbler sit for a short while before serving.
Can you make healthy peach cobbler with canned peaches, or frozen ones? Yes, you can make sugar-free peach cobbler using canned peaches. Use two 15-ounce cans packed in juice (avoid the kinds with adde sugar!), drained well. Frozen peaches may work, but will need to thaw and might need excess liquid drained.
