A warm, comforting peach cobbler featuring a nutty brown butter batter and tender, juicy peaches, topped with creamy vanilla ice cream. Perfect for quick weeknight desserts or cozy summer nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, sliced (freestone preferred; frozen thawed peaches can be used)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided: 1/4 cup for peaches, 1/2 cup for batter)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (divided: pinch for peaches, 1/4 teaspoon for batter)
  • 3/4 cup milk (whole milk preferred; dairy-free alternatives like oat or almond milk work)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch oven-safe baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Brown the butter: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir constantly as it foams and then turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the peaches: Peel (optional) and slice about 5 cups of ripe peaches. Toss them in a bowl with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Let sit while mixing the batter.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine 3/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the browned butter (slightly cooled but still liquid). Stir gently.
  6. Combine batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. The batter will be somewhat thin.
  7. Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the top; peaches will sink slightly during baking.
  8. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean.
  9. Cool slightly: Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes to thicken the juices.
  10. Serve: Scoop warm cobbler into bowls and top generously with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Brown butter carefully over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Peeling peaches is optional depending on texture preference. Avoid overmixing batter to keep it tender. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 3 days and freeze up to 2 months.
