Lazy Man’s Peach Cobbler
The ultimate low-effort, high-reward dessert. This peach cobbler uses canned peaches, a simple batter, and zero fancy steps—just dump, bake, and enjoy golden, gooey perfection.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar for batter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar for topping
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk whole or 2%
- 1 can (29 oz) peach slices in syrup do not drain
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional but recommended
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and let it melt in the oven while it heats.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, ¾ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add milk and stir just until combined. The batter will be lumpy—don’t overmix.
- Once the butter is melted, remove the dish from the oven and pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir.
- Spoon the entire can of peaches with syrup evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir.
- Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon over the top.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Store covered at room temperature for up to 1 day, refrigerated for 3 days, or frozen for 1 month. Reheat in oven or microwave. For variations, swap peaches with other canned fruits like cherry pie filling or blueberries. Make it vegan by using plant-based milk and butter.
