I usually do not make vegan desserts, but I was out of eggs and had a lot of ripe peaches, so I thought I’d make up a vegan peach cobbler. It turned out really good and I would definitely make it again.

Ingredients:

3 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
2 TB ground ginger
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup oat bran
1 tsp baking powder (a little less if baking at higher altitude)
a pinch of sea salt
1/4 cup plain rice milk
2 TB coconut fat (skimmed from the top of an undisturbed can of coconut milk)
1/4 cup pure Vermont maple syrup

Preheat oven to 350. In a Pyrex pie dish, arrange the thin slices of peaches and sprinkle with ginger.

In one bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Combine the wet ingredients in another bowl, mix well, and add to the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, pour over the peaches, and bake for 35 minutes until the top is set and nicely golden brown. Enjoy.

Peach Cobbler

This is my peach cobbler. It is really delicious, thanks to the delectable peaches from Rancho Durazno on the Western Slope in Colorado.

Slice 3-4 peaches into thin half-moon-like slices. Preheat an oven to 350. For the cobbler topping:

1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup oat bran
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of sea salt
1 egg
1 TB walnut oil
1/3 cup maple syrup
4 TB plain rice milk (I’m sure you could use real milk, but I never have it in the fridge, so I used homemade rice milk)

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl. Mix the wet into the dry, pour over the peaches, and bake for 30 minutes. Try to enjoy in moderation.

Peaches and Cream

I will not come within 10 feet of processed, canned, whipped cream. It takes 2 minutes to make it from scratch, and the flavor is amazing. Once you make it for yourself you will never settle for the fake stuff again.

Directions: Put some heavy whipping cream in the KitchenAid mixer with the wire whisk attachment. I added 1 TB maple syrup, but you could add a little powdered sugar. In my opinion, whipped cream goes on sweet things, so it doesn’t need to be really sweet. Use the splash guard because cream will fly all over your kitchen. Start to whip on speed 10 and watch as it magically transforms into a delectable topping. Do not over-beat it or you will wind up with butter! 2 minutes maximum. I served mine on peaches.
