Summer is in full swing, and this week we have the most delicious dessert to share! Low sodium peach cobbler is light, fruity, tasty, and SO easy to make. With just a few ingredients, and simple ingredient swaps, this cobbler has the same classic taste with much less sodium!

  • It’s a classic dessert with some minor modifications.

  • Anyone can successfully make this dish by following our step-by-step photos and directions below!

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

Recipe FAQs

How much sodium is in peach cobbler?

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.

What is a good low sodium baking powder to use for desserts?

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.

How to store leftover peach cobbler?

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.
