Garbanzo Flour Peach Cobbler
By RTalloni
Chick Peas Are Garbanzo Beans!
• Cutting down on gluten? (It’s a good idea to do so!)
• Looking for a cow's milk free, white sugar free dessert?
• Are you thinking "chick peas?" :)
Here’s a peach cobbler recipe to help you take advantage of this season’s wonderful fruits, as well as to enjoy the advantages of consuming less gluten by using garbanzo bean (chick pea) flour.
Our first basket of peaches this year was creamy sweet. Eating them was like eating peach ice cream. The next basket seemed pretty typical, a real mixture of sweetness with a bit of a tart zing to them. This latest basket seems to have a bit of a spicy flavor, yet very sweet, and perfect for a cobbler recipe.
I’ve never tasted them with this spiciness in their flavor and it makes me think that it would be interesting to study the different varieties, but I immediately began thinking of a cobblerthat I could develop using garbanzo bean flour. There are mixed reviews on this new-to-me flour, but I wanted to try it because of its tremendous nutritional value.
Garbanzos are high in protein and their nutritional run down is astonishing. The flour is a great source of iron, vitamin A, folate, and omega-6 fatty acids. Research the complete facts on this bean's nutrition and you'll be looking for ways to use it, particularly if you bake according to diabetic specifications.
Experimenting with a variety of flours to cut back on gluten in our diets has been a goal of mine for sometime, and so far, the recipes have been successful. I hope never to have a funny story to write about--only success stories.
Anyway, here’s my newest peach cobbler recipe for your kitchen. It was fun to develop and fun to eat. No matter what you call them, who knew--garbanzo beans and peaches?!
Garbanzo Flour Peach Cobbler
Prepare 8 x 8 baking dish with no-stick cooking spray.
Layer 6-8 peeled, sliced peaches in the prepared dish.
Preheat oven to 375º.
In a medium bowl mix:
• 2 room temperature Eggs
• 3/4 Cup room temperature Almond Milk
• 1/2 Cup Agave Sweetener
• 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil (or butter)
In a separate bowl stir dry ingredients together to make the batter:
• 1 Cup Garbanzo Flour
• 1/4 Cup regular White Flour (use Oat FLour if you must have total GF)
• 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda.
• 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/4 Teaspoon Ginger
• 1/8 Teaspoon Salt
Combine wet and dry ingredients.
Pour approximately 13 of batter over peaches and stir slightly to allow batter into the layers of fruit.
Pour remaining batter over top, spreading evenly. Slightly tap on counter to help air bubble rise to the surface.
Bake approximately 45 minutes until batter is browned and batter is not runny in the center. Test with a knife.
Cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
Store any leftovers in your fridge. Can be cooked and frozen ahead of use, but completely thaw and reheat uncovered on a low temperature for approximately 30 minutes.

Have You Used Garbanzo Flour When Baking?
Thanks much, davenmidtown. Hope your recipes work out well!
Appreciate that you stopped by with your comments.
Its a great hub....
Thanks kindly!
Healthy recipes are always on my search list and this one sounds great. Thanks for sharing!
Hmmmm....Yummy. You make me hungry. I love your recipes and step by step directions. Thanks for writing and share with us. Vote it up!
Prasetio
Sounds like a great recipe. I look forward to trying it out.
I'm going to mention this flour to my vegetarian son - I have to wonder if he's getting enough protein (hey, I"m his mom, it's my right to worry LOL).
I didn't see anything here on what you thought of the flour - did it have the same or similar consistency in baking as wheat flour? Did you notice a taste difference?
Very interesting recipe and a great idea for cutting back on glutens. But tell me, do you actually taste the chick peas in the finished product. I've never heard of this flour and would worry about the flavor.
iZeko:
You are welcome. Hope to hear how you like it and whether you tweak it for your taste.
So nice of you to stop in with your comment--thanks!
prasetio30:
Thanks kindly, both for your visit and comments!
Shelly McRae:
Thanks much for coming by! Hope you can let me know if you tweak it for your taste. It will be interesting to get input on the garbanzo flour because it's new for many people.
Terrific hub. I adore peaches and your recipe is one I will try. I was glad to see the ingredients included agave sweetener instead of sugar and also the gluten free flour. Rated useful and awesome!
Danette Watt:
You absolutely do have the right to care whether he is getting enough protein--and you have the right to care throughout his entire life! You're the mom and that will never change. And you don't have to worry about justifying it--you're the mom, plain and simple--and good for you! :)
The flour is different--more in taste than in texture. The flavor would be too strong to use it alone for something as simple as a cinnamon bread/roll, although it might work well to use a small amount of garbanzo with other flours for the not so spicy baked goods.
We like the taste with the right spices. It's sort of like how I prefer coffee with some foods and tea with others.
I thought the texture might be grainy when I made the batter, but it baked up nice and smooth, and it did not feel grainy when we ate it. This is not our mama's peach cobbler, but I didn't expect or want it to be.
Hopefully, I will be trying some recipes using garbanzo flour with oat flour soon. Would love to hear of your (or your son's) experiments with garbanzo flour. Thanks much for your visit and input!
nightbear:
Yes and no. I explained above that there is a difference in the flavor between garbanzo flour and other flours, but I wouldn't say that it tastes like eating chickpeas. It is stronger, but with a spicy recipe it's good. I'm thinking that combining it with oat flour is going to be interesting.
Thanks bunches for stopping in with your input. Please let me know if you give garbanzo flour a try! It's so nutritious that I am actively looking for ways to incorporate it into recipes.
Pamela99: Thanks much--working on healthier recipes just makes sense when we have all these beautiful, fresh fruits. Appreciate your visit!
Your recipe fits all of my diet requirements. Hurrah!!! It sounds like it would be delicious. Finally a dessert that I can eat. Up and useful.
Another one of your healthy recipes and another one to try!
I'm looking forward to trying the garbanzo flour out, many thanks for sharing.
KoffeeKlatch Gals:
Yes, Hooray! :) I do hope you enjoy it! If you develop other garbanzo flour recipes let us hear about them.
Thanks much for your visit and input!
Movie Master:
Sure hope you'll let us know about any new recipes you use or come up with. :-)
So appreciate knowing that you stopped in!
Where is garbanzo flour available? I have never even heard of it until now and it seems like it might be fun to experiment with in certain recipes. By the way, those sliced peaches in your first picture look wonderful!
Garbanzo flour is available through Amazon--I just added it to a capsule above the video for chickpea soup, duh! :) It's a good price. Health food websites have it as well.
I would so love to hear about your experiments with it! If you write a hub about it please let me know so I can link it here.
Those peaches were fab. This year's crop has been astoundingly good. Every variety seems extra tasty, where sometimes certain varieties might not be as good as others.
Thanks much for visiting and commenting!
RTalloni - thanks for posting a great gluten free recipe - many of the flours are quite different and fun to experiment with. Rice flour and/or tapioca flour would be a better substitute than Spelt which is not gluten free.
This recipe looks delicious and I love fresh peaches! I would be very curious to find out which variety was spicier - that sounds delightful.
Do you ever use Bobs Red Mill - they have a whole range of gluten free flours and a GF all purpose too, although specialty flours can get pricey. I've thought of getting a mill and doing bean flours myself :) Great hub and congrats on hub of the day!
Congratulation for the hub of the day! Well done. I did not know before that there is a garbansos flour. Thanks for sharing.
I've never tried blue agave, is there any aftertaste. Great hub.
Sounds really good, you mentioned using coconut oil in the recipe and I was wondering if that effects the taste at all?
Well done Robert... and congratulations on hub of the day! Very well deserved.
A fantastically written recipe, just a shame I don't like peach cobbler!
RoughOutline:
Thanks kindly! I actually prefer fresh peaches to cooked ones, but my husband loves peach cobbler. I'm always looking for ways to increase the nutrition in desserts--this worked out well!
ChristinS:
Thank you so much for letting me know that I put spelt in as gluten free! I should have put oat flour in the parenthesis. Rice and tapioca flours would likely work very well in the recipe too.
We placed a call to find out the name of the peaches, but couldn't reach the family they came from--they're probably in their orchards! I will try to post the name of this peach next week.
Bob's Red Mill is the garbanzo flour I am using right now--it's a high quality product. I would prefer to grind my own, as well, but I'm not sure I can use beans in my grain grinder. I think the moisture content makes a difference.
Thanks again for stopping in with your comments. I appreciate your input very much--didn't even realize the award! I'm amazed!
vwriter:
I don't know of anyone complaining of an aftertaste from agave, but some people do sense one with stevia and honey. You might like to read more about it in my hub linked above the comments section.
Thanks much for stopping by!
Congratulations on being chosen hub of the day. I'm not gluten-free,but many people are and it's great to see desserts that look delicious and easy to bake.
Looks very appetizing indeed =D x
davenmidtown: Thanks so much--I'm still surprised! Appreciate your stopping by!
Congrats! What a neat idea, using garbonzo flour to make this good-looking, great-tasting dessert. Rated up.
This recipe sounds delicious. The peaches in our area will be ready in the next week or so and I will be trying your recipe! Thanks for the great information and congrats on the hub of the day!
FloraBreenRobison: Thank you! I'm not completely GF but I have done enough reading now to know two things. The amount of added gluten may be a problem for many more people than is commonly recognized, and using a variety of flours in our baking widens our range of vitamins, minerals, and fibers. Easy is the key, isn't it?! :)
I love cooking, i always love hubs about food. I should become a food critic i check out many restaurants in and around my area. Good read thanks
lostwithinmyself: Thanks much, both for dropping by and leaving your input! :)
Congratulations on being selected for the Hub of the Day!
You have certainly earned it! This is an awesome Hub with great pictures. When I was a kid in the boy scouts, we used to make Peach Cobbler quite often. You have added to it's quality by making it Gluten Free! Great Job! Up and Sharing.
JSMatthew~
What a neat recipe. Never heard of Garbanzo flour, but it sounds so yummy. Looks like a very healthy dessert. Great article.
anglnwu:
Thanks! :)
So appreciate you visit and compliments!
Garbanzo flour is one of the more interesting flours available to us today. If you try it in a recipe write a hub and let me know so I can link it here.
cardelean:
Thanks kindly! We'll have peaches a couple more weeks, probably. I need to get some more in! Try to use peaches with a strong flavor as the garbanzo flour is strong. The peaches I used it with had a bit of a spicy zing to them.
Appreciate your visit very much!
Thanks kindly, J.S.Matthew. That's interesting that boy scouts made so much peach cobbler. If you write a hub about that experience let me know so I can link it here. Appreciate your input very much!
Will do! Right now I'm busy writing a series on Authentic Cambodian Cooking, but I should put that scouting experience into a Hub sometime! Congratulations! You should be proud!
JSMatthew~
Thanks kindly--what I am is surprised!
I take it that HP doesn't send you an e-mail telling you that you were selected? I noticed that most of the Hubbers who have been selected for Hub of the Day are surprised when they find out through the comments. I think that's pretty cool!
JSMatthew~
RTalloni, great Hub! congrats on your winning Hub of the day. I will definately try your recipe. Never used agave sweetener so will try that as well.
J.S. Matthew:
It's fun, and funny. I usually check to see what hub of the day is but not today. There was a comment telling me congrats and I had to check to believe it!
Well, I don't check my email everyday so there may be one waiting on me...
Either way, it's very cool. The award is great, but to have a chance to hear from so many people is wow. :)
Awesome! Again, Congratulations!
JSMatthew~
Congratulations on being featured as the Hub of the day! This looks absolutely delicious. I have a soft spot for any kind of peach cobbler, since my mom used to grow her own peaches and make homemade cobbler every spring/summer. This recipe is laid out very well with great pictures. Thanks for sharing! Voted up
applecsmith:
Thanks kindly!
Well, this isn't our Mama's peach cobbler, but it is a neat change of pace and a bit healthier. :)
Appreciate your stopping by and input very much!
Wow this looks delicious! This article is definately worth being Hub of the Day. :)
Looking forward to trying out that flour and although I love the idea of less or no sugar ,Ive been wary of using substitutes lately.
Great recipe and congrats on making Hub of the day!
This is embarrassing, but, I've never had a cobbler before. I must try it,looks delicious.
I am always looking for delicious recipes that reduce our gluten intake, especially with two hyperactive little boys in my home! This picture kept drawing me in, and I am going to try it out. Congrats on your hub of the day, looks yummy!
Wow to your comment, Jagodka! Thanks so much for your visit and comments. :)
Hope you can try garbanzo flour sometime.
I hope you can try it soon Eaglekiwi -- and I hope we'll hear about the recipe you use it in. Let me know to link that hub to this one!
You are wise to be careful about sugar substitutes. Have you considered the difference between artificial sweeteners and natural sweeteners?
So appreciate that you dropped by with your congrats!
Cardisa, There are lots of different kinds of dessert cobblers. Some have dry chunky batters, some have crumbles on top. I think all the fillings are basically prepared the same with fruit, but the topping might be a flaky crust, something like dropped biscuits, or a smooth batter like the one in this hub. I think of them as easy pies. :)
Maybe you should research what a cobbler is and do a hub on it. If you do, leave me another note here so I can link it with this hub. If I weren't getting ready to start a series of hubs I might write about cobblers! :)
Thanks so much for stopping in with your comments. Hope you get to try a cobbler soon!
Great hub. I have several friends who are trying to eliminate gluten from their diets, so I put this link on my Facebook page ... which I rarely do!
Thanks bunches, Kari Winchester! I hope the intro to garbanzo flour will be very helpful to you. Let us know how it goes and whether you have new recipes I can link to this hub.
Deborah-Diane, thanks so much!
I hope your friends find the info about garbanzo flour helpful and that they enjoy the recipe.
Appreciate your coming by, your comments, and your kindness in link this to your friends!
Thanks! I haven't hubbed any recipes yet, but I expect to around pumpkin season!
Oh, KW, I wanted to try some pumpkin recipes with garbanzo flour because I like heavy spices in my pumpkin recipes. If you try any, please do let me know. I just followed you, but you can also leave another comment here and I'll pick it up--and help advertise your hub!
Great hub!
It really looks yummy.
ciaron davies:
Thanks for stopping by with you input!
Fantastic! I will definitely play with some recipes, and maybe send you a few your way to get some help modifying them! Is there a group I can join where we can recipe swap??
rafatalam73:
Thanks kindly!
Kari Winchester:
I don't belong to a group, but if you post recipe hubs it would be great to link them here and have you link mine on yours.
Is there a group I can join where we can recipe swap??
There are mixed reviews on this new-to-me flour, but I wanted to try it because of its tremendous nutritional value.
This looks so good and I would eat the whole thing and not even feel guilty. Just a cup of tea and I would take my time. Mmmmm. Thanks a million for the recipe. Yay! Rated up of course.
CountryCityWoman:
It was pretty much gong pretty quickly... :)
Thanks kindly for your visit and input!
ChristinS:
In reply to your question re the type of peaches I used for this recipe, they were Jersey Queens. Their zippy flavor worked well with the strong garbanzo flour.
If anyone knows of other strong flavored peaches this would be a good place to post their names! :)
Thank you RTalloni - I have not heard of that kind of peach I am definitely going to check it out! :)
ChristinS:
So glad you asked the question! I might have waited too long to find out. As it was, they remembered what we bought. Thanks again. :)
Thanks for a great hub. I will have to try this recipe. I love peaches. I bet it would be equally good with fresh ripe nectarines! I voted up and useful
This healthier alternative peach cobbler recipe sounds delicious and nutritious even for those of us who don't have to restrict the gluten in our diets. Thanks so much for sharing it.
KMattox:
Thank you for stopping by! I don't know if nectarines have a strong enough flavor to pair well with garbanzo flour. If you try it let us know. If you write a hub about using nectarines with garbanzo flour let me know so I can link it here.
Happyboomernurse:
You are right!
Because of the added gluten in so many products I think more people than we realize have health problems related to it. We are using more alternatives to gluten products because of that.
Appreciate that you came by with your input!
Looking for some healthy recipes like this. It sounds delicious. I have a friend who is on a special diet due to Celiac Disease, and is not allowed to have any gluten.
Thanks for sharing the recipe.
destinymarshall:
Sure hope this will be helpful to you and your friend.
Thanks bunches for stopping in and leaving a note!
Robert: I ordered the Hummus book from you link above. It arrived today. It is beautiful and full of great things. I can not wait to start using the recipes from this book. I would encourage people to look it up!
davenmidtown:
I'm so glad you found the book helpful! If you do a hub reviewing the book, or write a hub on one of the recipes please let me know to link it on this hub.
Thanks so much for letting me know it arrived!
Hi rtalloni,
I think this is something I'm going to have to try! It looks a lot healthier than the usual peach crisp that I make (my toppings are usually packed with oatmeal, butter and too much brown sugar). British Columbia peaches are in season right now so it's off to the Farmer's Market I go!
Thanks for sharing this, I voted it up/useful and bookmarked it.
Cloverleaf.
How interesting and what great photos! Voted up and useful! ;D
Cloverleaf:
It is healthier, and one reason I like it is because the stronger flavor of the garbanzo flour allows for lots of seasonings. I think I would like using it half and half with oatmeal flour--love oatmeal!
So appreciate your visit!
Sally TX:
Thanks kindly. Appreciate your input very much!
RT: I was traipsing around the grocery store today and came across Agave amber sweetener for fairly cheap. I thought I would try it as I am trying to give up sugar. I should mention to you that I am not one of those people who can eat artificial sweeteners as I can taste the chemicals in them. I was pretty surprised by the taste of Agave. Its sweet, not as strong tasting as honey and there are not chemical tastes to it. Thank you for this suggestion. I think I may have found an organic sugar substitute!
So glad you found the agave, davenmidtown. Sugar substitutes are much safer than the artificial sweeteners. I've mentioned this in several of my hubs and there are some other ones that really address the issue. I like the agave in coffee where honey and sweet leaf (stevia) taste better in teas to me.
Thanks much for sharing your input!
I think in my 44 years of life I have had two packets of artificial sweeteners... I really can not stand them. But the Agave is working just fine!
daveinmidtown:
They are bad tasting, as well as bad for us! It was interesting to learn that they are also addictive. In researching my hub on the relationship between insomnia and artificial sweeteners I read more about how the addiction works than I wanted to know--it's chilling.
BTW, I posted a new garbanzo flour hub this week--a banana bread.
Thanks much for stopping in!
Wow, what a great idea. I love looking for new recipes, especially ones with a healthy focus. And mmmmmm, peaches!
Megan Coxe:
Experimenting with garbanzo flour has been interesting. I am continuing to explore uses for it because it is so nutritious. Hope you get to try this flour sometime.
I appreciate your stopping by and adding to this conversation. Thanks!
I used to use garbanzo beans to make humus back in my vegetarian days (mid 70s to mid 80s). Glad to know they are so nutritious.
And while I don't have a problem with gluten (at least I don't think I do), I have a serious allergic reaction to the yeast used in baked goods made with refined white flour. Whole wheat is a little better but I have to make sure I have a lot of raw fruits and veggies as well; otherwise, my lower gastrointestinal track slows down, if you know what I mean (that's probably the gluten). So I'm now starting to look for wheat-flour substitutes. And let's not even get into how cow's milk affects me.
I love peaches, so this is a fabulous recipe that I may try at some future date (bookmarking the hub). Rated up and awesome!!
Howdy PWalker281!
Homemade hummus is such a delicious and useful food. I hope to make some new recipes for it before long.
A reaction to yeast surely can be serious business, and yes, I think the gluten affects more people than we realize. Not adding extra and balancing as you are with raw foods is helpful, but some people do have to cut it out of their diets. Cow's milk...oh I know that stuff--have done some hubbing about it too.
I'm so glad you like this recipe and I appreciate the kind input on it. This afternoon I've been between my computer and washer/dryer, but I was just about to go make my newest garbanzo flour recipe, a banana bread, when your comment popped up. So nice to hear from you!
Oh, this peach cobbler made with Garbanzo Bean flour sounds so delicious. I am always on the look out for healthy recipies. You are so kind to share this. I will be trying it soon. Just love your hubs, Thank you and voted a big UP!

vocalcoach:
Hope you get to try this recipe soon. It indeed brings dessert to a new level of healthy. :)
Thanks much for stopping in and for your input!
This is great! I have a container of chick pea flour that I hardly use (I use it mostly to make a vegan french toast - so yummy!). Good to find more ways to use it :) Thanks!
BigSerious:
Thank you very much! I'm so glad this was helpful to you. I'm going to check and see if you've posted a hub on your vegan french toast. If not, consider this a hint. :)

Robert: Great hub. It is nice to see so much information about food substitutes. I am going to try the blue agave and see if I can work that into my diet. The alternative flours sound like a good plan too. Thanks again for the great hub.
