Sweet, juicy peaches baked under a golden, tender crust - this best-ever peach cobbler is a warm, comforting dessert that comes together in about an hour.
Put the peaches, water, vanilla, and ½ cup of the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Mix and cook for 6-8 minutes. When the sugar has dissolved and the peaches are soft, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool a little.
In a bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, oat flakes, milk, and the rest of the sugar. Mix until you get a creamy, batter-like consistency.
In a baking pan, add the melted butter, then arrange the peaches (without the accumulated liquid) on top of the butter. Pour the soft batter over the entire surface to cover the peaches.
Put in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the cobbler turns golden.
Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Bake in a ~20x20 cm (8x8 in) dish for the best batter-to-fruit ratio. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and rewarm before serving. To make it vegan, swap the butter for vegan butter or solidified coconut oil and use plant milk.
