This lip-smacking healthy Keto Peach Cobbler is the low carb dessert recipe you have been waiting for. Its incredible flavor is irresistible, and it happens to be simple to make too. Filled with lots of juicy peaches and a gluten-free and grain-free cake, what’s not to love?
In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.
I realize that typically peaches aren’t overly keto friendly, but in this case, you can enjoy them without filling up on unwanted carbs! As a matter of fact, because the cobbler is for 18 servings, each serving of keto peach cobbler only has 4.6 Net Carbs. So as long as you don’t go crazy and eat half of it at once, you can enjoy your favorite classic dessert without the guilt.
If you have found yourself missing fruits like peaches, don’t worry! You CAN include them in your diet; you just have to use smaller amounts than what you used to before eating low carb. This will satisfy the desire to eat them while giving your sweet tooth some yumminess that it craves.
Another thing I think you will enjoy about this keto cobbler is that it is great even if you don’t have a lot of experience baking. Trust me; it’s ideal for beginners and older children who want to start baking.
Ingredients
There is the actual cake along with the peach topping. All of the ingredients in my gluten free keto peach cobbler recipe are simple, and you probably have most of them already. Let’s take a look at what you’ll be needing:
Cobbler:
Butter - It needs to be softened but not melted. You can set it on the countertop for an hour or so, or you can microwave it in 15-20 second intervals. If it melts, you will need it to cool back down and harden some.
Cream Cheese - It’s best if you can set the cream cheese out ahead of time too. The cream cheese helps give the cobbler an amazing flavor and texture. It’s rich and delicious!
Sweetener - I mainly use my homemade sweetener blend of xylitol, erythritol (or allulose), and stevia because it tastes like sugar and you only need half the amount of other sweeteners. It works well in most keto dessert recipes. I offer suggestions if you'd like to use a monk fruit sweetener or other sweetener in the recipe card.
Eggs - This recipe does needs eggs to bind the custard.
Vanilla - Just a little vanilla extract enhances the flavors of the peaches.
Almond Flour - I can’t tell you how much I enjoy the way the cobbler turns out using almond flour. There really isn’t anything else that works as well in this recipe. I do not recommend subbing in coconut flour.
Baking Powder - You may not realize it, but baking powder is a super important ingredient. It keeps the keto peach cobbler fluffy and not dense and weird like it would be if you skipped adding it.
Topping:
Peaches - I like to use frozen peaches because they are always delicious. Fresh peaches are hard to find just right unless they are in season. But using frozen, you can make this low carb dessert any time of year.
Salted Butter - It’s essential to use salted butter to ensure that you get the correct result.
Powdered Sweetener - I find the combination of salted butter and a sugar free powdered sweetener works perfectly as the topping. You need a 1:1 sweetener like powdered allulose or erythritol.
How To Make Keto Peach Cobbler
This cozy low carb peach cobbler is so comforting and easy to make. Only a few steps stand in the way between you and this amazing dessert. Time to get busy!
Step One: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step Two: Combine the butter, cream cheese, and sweetener together using an electric mixer.
Then add in the eggs, vanilla and combine. After it’s mixed, add in the almond flour and baking powder until they are incorporated.
Next, spread the batter into the baking pan.
Step Three: Add the frozen peaches on top of the batter.
Expert Tip: You do not need to thaw the peaches first. Adding them frozen keeps them from getting mushy as the cobbler bakes.
Then sprinkle with the powdered sweetener. Drizzle the melted butter on top.
Step Four: Bake the keto cobbler for 45 minutes or until the cake has golden brown edges and no longer jiggles. Enjoy!
Variations
Ginger - If you love the combination of ginger and peaches mix ½-1 teaspoon of ground ginger into the batter before spreading it.
Cinnamon - Cinnamon also makes a nice contrast to the peachers. Just like ginger you only need ½ to 1 teaspoon for a nice cinnamon flavor. If you'd like it stronger you can shake some on top after it comes out of the oven.
Berries - Add some frozen raspberries along with the peaches for a peach melba or swap out the peaches for berries entirely to reduce the carbs. Sub in blueberries to turn this into a low carb keto blueberry cobbler recipe or sub in raspberries for a raspberry cobbler.
Common Questions
Can I Use Fresh Peaches?
Yes, absolutely! Fresh peaches are delicious in my easy keto peach cobbler when they are in season. You’ll need to peel them and slice them into thin slices. The reason I love frozen is that they always taste great. But if you can catch fresh ones that are juicy and it’s the right time of year, then for sure go with fresh.
Can I Have Peaches on Keto?
I'm a firm believer that almost any fruit or vegetable can be eaten on a keto diet IN MODERATION. If you don't agree feel free to make this with berries instead. Each slice has 4.6 net carbs including the peaches. There end up being about two slices of peach per serving. This is quite a bit different than eating a bowl of fruit salad or gobbling down peach after juicy peach. I believe the same is true for my Keto Cherry Pie Bars.
If you prefer berries that are lower carb try my Keto Blackberry Cobbler instead!
How Do You Store Leftover Cobbler?
Leftovers of this easy healthy peach cobbler need to be covered tightly and placed in the refrigerator. This keto cobbler shouldn’t be kept at room temperature, or it will go bad pretty quickly. In the fridge, it will last 4-5 days without any problems. In general, I refrigerate all of my keto desserts so they last longer.
Ice Cream Suggestions
When serving peach cobbler, it just makes sense to include a little bit of ice cream. YUM! Here are some of my favorite keto recipes for ice cream.
- Keto Butter Pecan Ice Cream
- Cannoli Ice Cream
- Maple Ice Cream with Candied Walnuts
- Keto Vanilla Ice Cream

Anita Kepler says
This was way too sweet. I followed the directions exactly but for the stevia/xylitol sweetener, I used another 1:1 baking sweetener. I thought it would be fine since yours was supposed to be twice as sweet as sugar. It was gross. I should have used half of the erythritol too.
Taryn says
I'm sorry you found it too sweet. I've come to realize people have very different taste buds. I had someone saying this wasn't sweet enough on social media the other day. You should always adjust to your preferences.
Tomi Crow says
Can you just use stevia? I cannot tolerate erythritol.
Taryn says
No, unfortunately. You need a sweetener with more bulk. Have you tried allulose or xylitol?
Nic says
Tasty but not Keto. I used swerve instead of other sweetener; other than that followed to a T. 17 g of carbs per servings and divided it into 12 serving cobbler.
Taryn says
You have to subtract the sugar alcohols to get an accurate carb count. I do that manually before I post nutrition facts.
P.S. great email address 😉
Susan Werner says
I really love all of your recipes, especially since your sugar substitute blend is so good. I never get that gross aftertaste of fake sugars. This peach cobbler almost has a yummy cheesecake quality. I didn't drizzle with butter or powdered sweetener on top, but it was still just right with my home grown peaches!
Jeanie says
A new Family favorite is born…..thank you!
My husband and I both loved the peach cobbler. Very moist and tasty cake with a nice layer of peaches on top.
For Christmas I’m going to make it using 2 chayote squash and 2 Granny Smith apples.
Tracy says
Would you be willing to share your homemade blend of the sugar substitutes? I am new to this and need a good alternative to sugar! Thank you!!! ♡
Taryn says
Hi Tracy, they are linked anywhere you see my sweetener mentioned or you can go directly to this page: joyfilledeats.com/sweetener
Sarah says
Easy and delicious!
Betty says
I love this cobbler, and have made it twice. But…I do find that it falls apart quite easily, and I have baked it long enough. Any suggestions to prevent this, or is it just a result of the almond flour?
Taryn says
Cobblers do fall apart and are normally served with a spoon like a crisp or crumble.
Wendy says
I made this and loved it even my picky hubby thought it was good. Win win in my house.
Patricia Hamilton says
I made this tonight. I think it is dreamy! My husband, who has trouble almond flour texture, even liked it! I recently found out there is super fine almond flour, so I used that. I am sure that helped. Thank you for the recipe! Have a Blessed day y’all❣️🙏🏻🇺🇸
Kristen says
What can I use to sub the cream cheese with that's dairy free?
Taryn says
I think coconut cream could work but I haven't tested it.
Kristen says
Just got Kite Hill dairy free cream cheese. Since it has more sodium than the dairy version I hope it works since I plan to use ghee as the butter.
Veronica Gordon says
Is the measurement of the butter supposed to ounces (as listed) or Tablespoons?
Taryn says
Ounces are correct. You are using one 4 oz stick in the cake and another 4 oz stick in the topping.
Veronica Gordon says
Wonderful! Thanks you for the quick response.
Jenn O says
This is one of my new favorite low carb dessert recipes! I've taken it to a few potlucks and it disappears. Even friends who do not eat low carb love it! Thank you for sharing your recipes...I've made many at this point. This is my go-to site for new recipes!
Beth Melling says
I made this using fresh peaches since they are in season. Before adding powered sweetener and melted butter I sprinkled sliced almonds on top. It was awesome! Everyone who has tried it loves it. I haven't made anything I have not liked from your blogs.
Cindy Hays says
I was wondering about fresh peaches. Thanks.
Angie says
This was magical. My husband says it's in the top 5 of things to ever come out of my kitchen in 19 years!)! Thanks so much for sharing.
Karol says
I halved this. It was WONDERFUL!! Very moist and flavorful. I added a little cinnamon and a pinch of ginger to the melted butter.
Michelle L. says
I despise almond flour, hate it! Can I sub THM baking blend? And yes I know there is almond flour in the baking blend but in that miniscule amount I can tolerate it.
Taryn says
Yes, use a bit less than the amount listed.
Sl says
I want tomake this but my butter is u salte rd. Can I add some salt?.
Taryn says
Yes, just add a pinch to the batter and mix another pinch into the melted butter for the topping.
Maya says
Is this considered a THM crossover (XO) because of the peaches?
Taryn says
This falls within the guidelines of an S but I'd consider it more of an S helper with the peaches. It doesn't have enough carbs to be a full-on XO.
Trish says
I don’t eat almond flour and I want to know if I can sub with coconut flour. Also are peaches let?
Taryn says
I have not tested this with coconut flour. If you want to try sub in 1/3 of the amount of almond flour.
Also, are peaches what? I don't understand that question.
