Can I use dried basil instead of fresh in this cobbler?

The recipe specifically calls for minced fresh basil in the biscuit topping to impart its unique aromatic flavor. Dried basil would not provide the same vibrant taste and aroma.

What kind of berries work best in this Basil Berry Peach Cobbler?

The recipe uses 1 cup of mixed berries, so you can choose your favorite like blueberries, raspberries, or a blend that pairs well with peaches and basil.

Can I substitute the gluten-free flours with regular all-purpose flour for the biscuit topping?

This recipe is specifically designed to be gluten-free using oat, brown rice, and arrowroot flours, along with psyllium or xanthan gum for structure. Substituting with all-purpose flour would alter the texture and remove the gluten-free aspect.

What are the recommended ways to serve this Basil Berry Peach Cobbler?

Serve warm or at room temperature. For breakfast, pair with a dollop of plain vegan yogurt; for dessert, enjoy with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped coconut cream.

How should I store leftover Basil Berry Peach Cobbler?

Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container at room temperature for a day, or refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave for best results.

How to Prepare Basil Berry Peach Cobbler [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Pre-heat your oven to 350°F.
In a quart-sized baking dish, toss together the fruit with the lime zest/juice, coconut sugar, arrowroot, and cardamom. Set the dish aside while you make the biscuit topping.
To make the biscuit topping, combine the flours, salt, baking powder, psyllium (or xanthan gum), and coconut sugar in a bowl. Whisk well to combine, then mix in the basil.
Using the whisk or a fork, cut the solid coconut oil into the flour mixture until the mixture looks like coarse sand. Add the cold milk to the mixture and begin to mix it in with a spatula or your hands. A rough biscuit dough will start to form. If it seems too dry and crumbly, add a bit more milk.
Once the dough comes together, gently arrange it in an even layer over your prepared fruit. Brush the dough with more milk then put it in your preheated oven. Bake the cobbler for 25-30 minutes until the biscuit top is firm and the fruit is juicy and bubbling.
Serve warm or at room temperature. If you are serving it for breakfast, try it with a dollop of plain vegan yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup. If you are serving it for dessert, serve it with a scoop (or two) of vegan vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped coconut cream.
