Everyone raves about Paula Deen's famous peach cobbler and I have turned her beloved recipe into a delicious low-carb version. Now you can enjoy all the peachy goodness with fewer carbs!

The Queen of Butter, Paula Deen, is known for her comfort food and her peach cobbler recipe is a fan favorite because it is warm, gooey and peachy sweet! It’s also loaded with sugar and carbs. But I found a way to cut the sugar without sacrificing the flavor or peaches in this well-loved recipe. With only 3.6 net carbs per serving, you can still top your cobbler with a hefty scoop of low carb vanilla ice cream!

What makes this keto?

To turn Paula Deen’s Peach Cobbler recipe into a keto version, I had to make a couple of easy swaps. These made a huge impact on lowering the sugar and carbs but kept this deliciously gooey and sweet.

  • Less peaches – Peaches are considered a high sugar fruit, with one peach having around 15 grams of carbohydrates and only 2 grams of fiber. But instead of omitting the peaches completely like some low carb peach cobbler recipes do, I just lowered the amount used. Paula’s recipe calls for 4 peaches. Instead, I found that two peaches are enough to provide that peachy flavor without adding too many carbs to the recipe. To add more peach flavor, I added 1/2 teaspoon of peach flavor extract; although, this is optional.
  • No sugar – Paula’s recipe uses 2 cups of sugar. Of course, I didn’t use real sugar in this recipe. Instead, I used a sugar-free sweetener that is zero carbs and zero calories. In addition, I found that I didn’t have to use as much sweetener as Paula Deen did. One cup of sugar-free sweetener provided enough sweetness for this Southern classic twist.
  • Replaced the flour – Not only does replacing the self-rising flour in this recipe lower the carbs, but it turns this peach cobbler gluten-free! Instead of wheat based flour, I used a combination of almond flour and oat fiber to give a similar texture and help add structure, keeping the integrity of the dish similar to Paula’s recipe.
  • Replaced the milk – Paula uses a cup of milk in her peach cobbler recipe. This adds 11 carbs/sugar to her recipe. I found that using an unsweetened flaxmilk or macadamia nut milk works the same and only adds 1 carb.

    Keto self-rising flour

    Paula Deen’s peach cobbler recipe calls for self-rising flour, which has all of the leavening agents added to it. Leavening ingredients help a baked good rise and get fluffy.

    Right now, there is no commercially available “self-rising keto flour”, so I had to make my own using almond flour, oat fiber, egg white protein powder, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt.

    • Almond flour – the base keto flour
    • Oat fiber – added to help with texture and flavor
    • Egg white protein powder – a leavening agent and helps with structure
    • Xanthan gum – helps with structure forming a glue to hold cobbler together
    • Baking powder – leavening agent
    • Salt – well, it’s just salt, not sure I have to explain that

    Are peaches keto?

    Peaches are not really considered to be keto-friendly since they have a relatively high carbohydrate content. One medium-sized peach has about 14 grams of carbs, which can add up quickly if you are keeping your carbs under 20 grams.

    That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy peaches!

    My no-sugar added peach cobbler uses 2 peaches for the entire recipe. The peaches alone only add 2.4 carbs per serving. So you can easily fit in a serving of Paula’s peach cobbler when you make it this way.

    Storage information

    Peach cobbler is best served warm and right away. Top with the some cold vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to have the creaminess melt into the warm, gooey no-sugar added cobbler. It’s the best!

    But, if you do need to store your cobbler, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. 

    To reheat, place in the oven at 250 °F or until the peach cobbler is warmed through.

    Keto Peach Cobbler: FAQS

    Can I omit the peach flavoring?

    I think that adding 1/2 teaspoon peach flavoring enhances the peach flavor in the recipe since we are using less peaches than the original recipe; however, you can omit it completely if you don't want to have to purchase an extract that might not use very often. The peaches alone in the recipe should provide enough peach flavor especially if using ripe, in-season peaches.

    Do I have to peel the peaches?

    I have made this recipe both ways, with peeled peaches and without. Peeling the peaches gives the cobbler the perfectly orange peaches. If you don't peel the peaches, it can turn the cobbler a reddish tint, but doesn't affect the flavor.
