Low Calorie Peach Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches - peeled and pitted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup whole wheat all purpose flour
- ½ cup fat free milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp light butter - melted
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp fresh grated lemon rind
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray an 8 inch square baking dish with nonstick, butter flavored spray.
- In a large bowl, combine peaches, 1/4 cup of the sugar and the nutmeg. Toss well to coat. Set aside for about 30 minutes to let the peaches soak up the sugar.
- In another large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, liquid egg substitute, vanilla, lemon rind and butter.
- Slowly blend the milk mixture into the flour mixture until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the peaches into the baking dish. Evenly spread the batter over top of the peaches and bake until the batter becomes brown - about 30-35 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let dessert rest for half an hour before serving. Cut into 6 equally sized pieces and serve at room temp or warm if desired.
Equipment
Notes
- The serving size is 1/6 of the cobbler.

I used brown sugar substitute and reduced the calories by 45 calories each piece.
If you want to cut `calories use stevia instead of sugar and almond flour instead of white flour
Peach cobbler just isn’t “right” without cinnamon. I added a generous 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/8th fresh ground nutmeg to balance it out. Otherwise it’s great! Also works when adding a pint of blueberries along with 3 cups of peaches (rather than 4). Toss fruit together along with 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, sugar and spices and bake in the oven for 10 mins to thicken a bit, then add the cobbler topping and bake as directed.
Disappointing cobbler. I put less nutmeg than called for but still too much. Didn’t taste the lemon rind. Would have been better with white flour I think.
Sounds delightful, but calorie count is completely wrong!
Peaches 180cal + sugar 390cal + flour 340cal + milk 50cal + light butter 50cal = 1010 calorie in all, divided thru 6 portions means 168 cal per portion !
Its still a low cal recipe, but much more than the stated 110 cal per portion!
Made this with 3 C drained canned peaches [Sam’s Club Golden Star 3kilo can as I am heading to FL to swim with manatees having enuf of CO winters]. Used New balance Spread & Splenda brown sugar tho only 4 T of Splenda. Then made a crumb topping from 4T flour & 6T of the Splenda [only 2 T more than in recipe]. Baked 35 minutes in 375 F oven. Topping is nicely browned & delish with perked coffee.
Thanks for posting this.
I made it tonight and the whole family loved it!
Deeeeeeeeeeelicous !
Sounds delicious, but it would be easier to follow if the ingredients were listed in the order they are used.
That’s so true, so when I copied the recipe into a Word document (so I can add my own notes) I separated the ‘filling ingredients’ from the ‘topping ingredients’. I do this with all recipes where it hasn’t already been done. It does make it easier to follow the recipe. :-)
Could you possibly use canned peaches when out of season? Just wondering!
How exciting, one of our local groceries has peaches (nectarines and plums too) on sale for a quarter a piece! I think I see cobbler in my families future! Thanks
I am going to make this tonight =) Sounds wonderful!
