Peach cobbler is a quintessential summer season dessert, one thing that’s superior made about mid August when the peaches are in season and at their finest! The peaches on the retailer simply regarded so good the opposite day, and I hadn’t had any but this 12 months, so I made a decision to purchase a bunch. They had been additionally on sale, so I figured why not?! It turned out they had been completely ripe, candy, and able to eat! So in addition to simply having fun with some as they had been, I made a decision to make some Vegan Peach Cobbler with Hazelnut Biscuits!
The filling did not want a lot for flavoring for the reason that peaches had been so good on their very own, so I simply added a contact of lemon juice and vanilla, and a little bit maple sugar to sweeten them. I exploit a lot much less sugar in my cobblers than a conventional cobbler as a result of I like to have the ability to style the precise taste of the fruit and let it shine! I simply add a little bit little bit of flour to thicken the juices a little bit in order that it isn’t watery and it comes out excellent!
For the biscuits, I exploit my scone dough, however with nut meal combined in to make them additional wealthy and scrumptious! I used hazelnut meal this time, since that’s what I had available and the flavour is beautiful with peaches. The dough is not fairly as fussy as scone dough due to the nut meal, and they’re fairly simple to make! I like to chop them into cute little shapes on high of my cobbler, however should you needed to only lower them into circles or squares or one thing if you did not have a small cookie cutter, that may work additionally! When you needed to make the biscuits with gluten free all function flour as an alternative of the entire wheat pastry flour for a gluten free possibility, you’ll be able to sub it 1:1.
The cobbler turned out tremendous scrumptious! The peaches had been all jammy and bubbly, candy and scrumptious, the tender vanilla scented hazelnut biscuits the proper topper for them! That is excellent served heat with some vegan ice cream or coconut cream! If in case you have plenty of ripe peaches available, undoubtedly give this Vegan Peach Cobbler with Hazelnut Biscuits a do that summer season!
