How to Make Gluten and Dairy Free Spiced Peach Cobbler

Time needed: 50 minutes.

Substitutions
If fresh, ripe peaches aren't in season, you can make this same recipe with frozen peaches that have been defrosted and drained. I don't recommend using canned peaches as their texture would be too soft once baked.
Top Tip for Gluten and Dairy Free Spiced Peach Cobbler
You can easily make your own Dairy Free buttermilk at home. For every one cup of unsweetened full fat oat milk, you want to add one tablespoon of acid. You can use either white vinegar or lemon juice. Simply stir it and allow it to sit for 5 minutes. This will cause the oat milk to slightly curdle, giving it the texture and tangy taste of buttermilk.
