There isn't much better than a warm slice of homemade peach cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream. Simple and yet so delicious.
Peaches are one of my favorite summer fruits. Unfortunately, with each one containing about 12 net carbs - they can be hard to fit into a ketogenic diet.
My favorite way to enjoy higher carb fruits is to work them into recipes that are bulked up with keto-friendly ingredients. This helps to satisfy the craving while still only consuming a small amount of the high carb fruit.
Can you eat peaches on a ketogenic diet?
Many people are surprised to see fruit included in keto recipes. While fruit does contain carbohydrates in variable amounts, any fruit can, in fact, be consumed on a keto diet.
While the portions must be adjusted, even high carb fruits like Bananas and pineapple can be eaten. Check out my keto banana pudding and pineapple upside-down cake recipes!
So, while an entire banana, pineapple, or in this case - peach, may have too many carbs to easily fit into typical keto macros, a small amount shouldn't cause a problem for most people.
What kind of ice cream is best for topping keto peach cobbler?
You can't have Peach Cobbler without some vanilla ice cream and luckily there are plenty of great, keto-friendly options out there.
My favorite store-bought option is rebel creamery. Rebel ice cream is available in some stores or you can buy it online HERE. Most major grocers also carry other low-carb options like Halo Top or Enlightened.
There are also plenty of recipes for homemade keto vanilla ice cream as well. Many are easy to make and don't even require an ice cream maker! This one from Wholesome Yum is one of my favorites.
How to make a keto peach cobbler cake
This keto peach cobbler couldn't be easier to make. You begin by mixing diced peaches, either fresh or frozen, with some sweetener, cinnamon, and xanthan gum. You will then allow this mixture to sit while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
The cake batter is a basic keto yellow cake and is easily brought together with some basic ingredients and a hand mixer. Once the cake batter is well mixed, you will transfer it to a greased 9x13" baking dish.
At this point, you will top the cake batter with the peaches, and then with a simple topping made from almond flour, butter, sweetener, and cinnamon.
Cover the dish with foil then bake for about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until the topping is golden - and voila! You just made yourself a Keto Peach Cobbler Cake!

Isn't there something I can replace Xanax gum for. I don't eat that stuff. I try to find ingredients more on the natural side. What does the gum do exactly in this recipe? Is it to thicken it up like? If so couldn't I use Tapioca flour?
Sabra says
Hi Carissa! You can substitute the Xanthan Gum with a tsp or so of bloomed gelatin. With that said, Xanthan Gum is a natural ingredient and is a byproduct of the sugar fermentation process. You can read more about it HERE if you are interested 🙂
Serina says
Hi, looking for a replacement for Xanthan gum, found these alternatives: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/xanthan-gum-substitute#The-bottom-line
Nadine Olfactory says
@Carissa LeBaron You said "Xanax gum" and then inferred it's not natural. Are you confusing xanthan gum with Xanax, the benzodiazepine? Just curious.
Samantha says
Does this freeze well? I have boatloads I’d peaches and would like to make more than one. Thanks!
Sabra says
I haven't tried freezing it myself so I can't say for certain, but I think that it should freeze really well! If you try it, I would love to know how it turns out for you 🙂
Cynthia Lockington says
It does!
Catherine says
I made this for my husband and I last night. Cant wait to make it for the kids. THANKS FOR THE FREEZING AND ANSWER QUESTION!!! I too have boatloads of peaches!!! Muah!!! PS I was gonna take a photo but Mr. P dug in before I could get to it!!! 🙂
Keryn says
I just baked the Peach Cobbler. Everyone liked it and it's almost gone- we couldn't stop! I was surprised at how nice the base texture came out. I only wish there was more peach flavor as the peach pieces kind of melted in the cake. If there is a peach extract, then that would compensate for the lack of peaches to keep it low carb.
Janet says
That's an awful lot of sweetner. Since most of the keto sweetners don't agree with my gut I may have to just long for something like this in my life.
Nanabella says
You can always just use less sweetener, to suit your tastes...❤️
Sarah says
Hi! Sounds yummy. I was wondering if your nutrition info was total or net carbs? Thank you very much!
Sabra says
Hi Sarah! One serving has 5 net carbs, 9g total carbs, and 4g of fiber. Hope that helps!
Karen says
Absolutely delicious. Very easy recipe to follow.i picked the
Peaches from my tree this morning. Thank you for sharing
This recipe
Samantha says
No you can still make it! I cut the sweetener all the way down to 1/4 cup and it was still delicious!
joanne lightfritz says
This recipe is amazing! I used a golden sweetener instead of the classic white, I also added raspberries. I cut the recipe in half to make a smaller cobbler and used a round cake pan. I also added cinnamon into the filling. Number of servings was 6 with each slice weighing in at 4g net carbs (according to my app)
Sueph says
Followed all directions as written yet it was still jiggly. Added additional 10 minutes 3 times.... still jiggly. Why is that?
Sabra says
Hi Sueph! It is really had to say. It could just be a difference in ovens but I would also check and be sure that you are evenly distributing the peaches over the cake batter. if there are too many peaches in the center, the juices will accumulate there and can cause the center to be a little jiggly.
I hope that helps!
Carolyn Widomski says
I did make two changes. I used 2 tbsp. cinnamon divided and I added 2 tbsp. Truvia brown sugar in with the crumbly topping and a sprinkle of the brown sugar under the topping too. I didn't get cake like bottom, so slicing while warm wasn't an option. I measured out into 8 oz. coffee mugs instead.
DELICIOUS
I hope it freezes ok so I can pull portions out and microwave. Cool Whip light on top was easier and quicker than making whipped cream. It worked out to be about nine carbs total and 70 calories.
Phil Ruttenburg says
I'd like to know why ours remains giggly, even after baking it longer than directed?
Sabra says
Hi Phil! It is really had to say.

Carolyn Widomski says
Paul, I assembled mine differently. I put butter in the bottom of the baking dish, then the peaches, truvia brown sugar sub went on top of peaches, then put the almond flour mixture. I think putting the peaches on top of the flour is what is causing wetness and jiggling. I did not get that with mine.
Twila says
This is what I was thinking to do as well. I’m making it tonight for supper and will try it that way. I’d also think covering it is going to hold in moisture? I think I’ll bake it uncovered, then cover lightly with foil if it starts getting too brown.
Tina says
The cake is in the oven as I type. I felt your ingredient list didn’t match the instruction, like melted butter, and amounts. I hope it turns out well. Looks like lots of people loved it.
CJ says
After buttering the baking dish, I put peaches down first, then Truvia Brown sugar substitute, then the Almond cake mixture on top. No wetness, no jiggle. Made it like an upside down cake and just that simple change in what goes first in the baking dish is the way I have always made a cobbler as well. Fruit down first
Leslie K says
Where do you add the eggs? I put them in.the large bowl ingredients. The cake is in the oven, I hope that was right.
Sabra says
Hi Leslie! The eggs are aded in step 4. 🙂
Catherine Schulthies says
This was really yummy! I doubled the peaches just because...peaches. I didn't double the sugar substitute. It did take extra time to bake and the bottom got a little dark but it was still delicious.
Aniita says
Why did my cake part turn greenish? It also smells fuuny? What did I do wrong?
Dale Kynoch says
Delicious! It turned out moist and flavorful. So glad to have a peach cobbler recipe that I can eat!
Vickie Jameson says
What is the total cinnamon amount needed? The Ingredient list says "1/2 tsp, divided", but it uses that full amount in part of the instructions. I used 1/2 tsp for both sections when called for but would like to know in case I like the recipe and want to make it again. Thanks!
Carolyn Widomski says
Love cinnamon so I added to both too and bottom
Bava says
OMG. This is delicious. I have to stop myself from overeating. The only thing I would change, is, I would use more fruit.
Veronica says
Delicious! Made it today for my boyfriend’s birthday and we loved it. Thank you!!
CELI says
Can you use a round cast iron instead of the 9x13? With the same amount of ingredients or half it?
Sabra says
Cast iron should work just fine 🙂
Adela says
Really tasty! If you want more of a peach taste then I would definitely at least triple the peaches included, they completely absorbed into the cake for me and I had doubled the amount listed!
Laurie says
Putting in that many peaches by tripling wouldn’t you be defeating keto? Maybe peach extract might be better for a more peachy flavor and lower carbs.
Claudia says
I would like to divide this recipe into two 8x8 pans. Is that possible?
Sabra says
Hi Claudia! that should work fine 😊
Laura says
I'm sensitive to almonds and almond flour does not work for me. Can I substitute coconut flour in the same amount?
thank you.
Judie says
I made this recipe with frozen organic peaches and even though it was a yummy treat the peach flavor was lacking. It made me wonder if you were able to substitute the peaches with other fruit like cherries or blueberries. I have made traditional cobblers using the same base recipe and just changing out the fruit used and adjusting the thickening ingredient (Xanthan gum). Do you think this is a good possibility?
Your advice is appreciated.
Beth says
Should Salted or unsalted butter be used? Thanks
