Peach cobbler is a popular dessert, but traditional recipes often contain high amounts of sugar, which can cause blood sugar spikes in diabetics. Low-glycemic peach cobbler recipes offer a sweet alternative that satisfies cravings while maintaining stable blood glucose levels. These recipes use ingredients that have a minimal impact on blood sugar, making them suitable for diabetic diets.
Ingredients for Low-Glycemic Peach Cobbler
- Fresh or frozen peaches (preferably unsweetened)
- Low-glycemic sweeteners such as erythritol or stevia
- Almond flour or coconut flour for the topping
- Unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
- Spices like cinnamon and nutmeg
Preparing the Peach Filling
Start by slicing the peaches and placing them in a bowl. Add a small amount of low-glycemic sweetener and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well to evenly coat the fruit. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly. This filling forms the base of the cobbler and provides natural sweetness without causing blood sugar spikes.
Making the Topping
Combine almond flour or coconut flour with a low-glycemic sweetener and a pinch of salt. Add a small amount of unsweetened almond or coconut milk to create a crumbly texture. Optionally, include a tablespoon of melted coconut oil for richness. Spread the topping evenly over the peach filling before baking.
Baking and Serving
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cobbler for 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. Allow it to cool slightly before serving. This dessert pairs well with a dollop of unsweetened Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon.
