Ingredients You’ll Need
See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!
Peaches are the base of this delicious cobbler. You can use fresh peaches (I did!) if they are in season. Toss them with brown sugar and lightly heat until soft. But if you are making this recipe in the winter, using 36 ounces of canned peaches works well too. Just be sure to use both the canned peaches and the juice in the cobbler.
The cobbler batter is made with all purpose flour, milk, sugar, reduced sodium baking powder, and vanilla extract. I also like to top the cobbler with cinnamon right before baking.
Ingredient Spotlight!
Rumford Reduced Sodium Baking Powder
Regular baking powder & baking soda can be high in sodium, making it difficult to make homemade baked goods while on a low sodium diet.
This Rumford brand has 35mg sodium per 1/8th teaspoon serving, making it the lowest baking powder option I’ve seen. It’s the one I use in this recipe, and many others on this site. You can find it in grocery stores, and on Amazon here.
Additions and Substitutions
You can also use nectarines if you can’t find peaches. Or swap in any fruit – use 3 cups of blueberries, raspberries, cherries, or even apples!
Instead of all purpose flour, you can use whole wheat flour or a gluten free baking mix.
Stay away from self-rising flour, as it does contain a high amount of sodium from the added leavening agents.
How To Make Low Sodium Peach Cobbler
Step 1: Slice the peaches into small bite-sized pieces (or open the cans of peaches). Place the sliced peaches into a pan and heat over low heat.
Step 2: Pour in the brown sugar and stir well to combine. Cook for 5 minutes until the peaches have softened and begin to give off their juices.
Step 3: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place your baking dish in the oven with the 4 tablespoons of butter. Let the dish preheat while the oven gets up to temperature and it will melt the butter. Remove the dish from oven once the butter has melted.
Step 4: In a mixing bowl, add the all purpose flour, milk, granulated sugar, reduced sodium baking powder, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine. Pour this into the dish with the melted butter. Add the peaches on top. Do not mix or stir – leave as-is, and top with cinnamon.
Step 5: Bake the cobbler for 35-40 minutes until the batter is light and fluffy. Carefully remove from the oven.
Step 6: Serve warm with (optional, but highly recommended) ice cream, and enjoy.
Recipe FAQs
This homemade low sodium peach cobbler has just 59 mg of sodium per serving, as it’s made without salt and uses reduced sodium ingredients. If you order peach cobbler from a restaurant or bakery, it will vary based on the ingredients they used, so ask your server for nutritional information if available.
Now that the sodium-free baking powder is no longer being produced, I found Rumford’s Reduced Sodium baking powder is the lowest in sodium that I have seen – it has 35mg sodium per 1/8 tsp serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or in ramekins in the air fryer and serve with optional vanilla ice cream.
