📝 Ingredients

Peach Filling

4 medium fresh peaches, sliced (about 4 cups; choose ripe but firm peaches)
2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for a thicker filling)

Cobbler Topping

1½ cups almond flour
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt

Note: If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain excess liquid before baking.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sweetener, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla, and optional cornstarch.
Spread the peach mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, melted butter, vanilla, and sweetener, mixing until a thick batter forms.
Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches without completely covering every area.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
Allow the cobbler to cool for 10–15 minutes before serving so the filling can set.
