    • Vegan Gluten-free Blueberry Cobbler

    I picked up lots of fresh berries at the market, and I wondered what to do with them when blueberry cobbler came to mind right away.

    This easy dessert is much more effortless than pie - there's no crust to roll out - it's one of my favorite summer desserts, especially during July, when juicy blueberries are in season!

    What makes this vegan blueberry cobbler healthy?

    This delicious blueberry cobbler is sweetened with coconut sugar instead of refined sugar.

    The biscuit topping is the perfect complement to the juicy blueberries. It is made with a mix of gluten-free oats, coconut flour, and almond flour, so it's healthier and has more fiber than the typical cobbler made with white flour. I prefer a buttery biscuit topping versus a cake-like topping.

    If you love blueberry desserts and blueberry recipes around this time of the year with healthy ingredients, take a look at my Vegan Blueberry Popsicles.

    Ingredient notes

    • Coconut sugar - you can substitute with date sugar or the sugar you have on hand, or organic granulated sugar.
    • Arrowroot powder for thickening, or organic cornstarch powder
    • Blueberries - the amount of sugar you use will depend on the sweetness of the berries; if they are tart, you may want to add more sugar. If you can, try to taste your berries before you buy them to see if you can get the best flavor.
    • Fresh lemon juice - don't use concentrate. You only need a little lemon juice.
    • Gluten-free rolled oats, coconut flour, and almond flour - you can use whole grain pastry flour or all-purpose flour if you prefer; then, it will not be gluten-free. If you don't have coconut flour, add more almond flour or rolled oats, or oat flour if you have it. Or you can omit coconut flour and add a little less coconut milk.
    • Plant-based butter, chilled and cubed, or virgin coconut oil
    • Full-fat coconut milk or soy milk or almond milk
    • Cinnamon for a bit of spice - this cobbler smells amazing while it's baking. Sometimes I add grated nutmeg, which is not pictured in the photo above.

    Equipment

    If you like a thick biscuit topping like I have pictured, use an 8-inch by 8-inch pan or a deep-dish pie pan. If you prefer a thinner, more spread-out topping for your cobbler, use a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish.

    How to make this vegan blueberry cobbler

    It's easy to make this cobbler, even if it is your first attempt! It's one of the easiest desserts you can make with only a few minutes of prep time.
    Start by assembling the ingredients, so they're all ready to go.

    Rinse and drain the blueberries, picking out any that aren't fresh.

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly oil a deep-dish 9-inch pie dish or 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish.

    • 1. Make the blueberry filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rinsed blueberries, coconut sugar, arrowroot powder, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and zest—place in a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate or a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish.
    • 2. Make the biscuit dough topping: In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and sea salt.

    • 3. Put the topping on the blueberry mixture. Add the cubed vegan butter and mix it with your fingers or a fork into the dry ingredients, breaking down the butter between your fingers. Add the coconut milk and gently combine until mixed. Taking a large spoon, place the biscuit topping in dollops on top of the blueberries.
    • 4. Bake the cobbler in a greased baking dish in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown on top.

    The blueberry cobbler is ready when the hot blueberries are tender and the biscuit topping is golden brown.

    Remove from oven and let cool for 20 minutes before serving. Top with vegan ice cream or coconut whipped cream.

    You now have the perfect dessert!

    Storage

    After the cobbler cools, refrigerate it in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days, covered loosely with plastic wrap or foil.

    It makes a tasty breakfast the next day; leave it on the counter to warm up for half an hour or so.

    Store leftovers at room temperature for up to 2 days.

    Tip

    Adjust the amount of sugar and lemon juice to your taste, depending on the fruit you use and how sweet the fruit is.

    How to serve

    This easy vegan blueberry cobbler is delicious all by itself or with non-dairy vanilla ice cream.

    Leftover cobbler is great at room temperature the next day for breakfast. Why not?

    You can top it with more fresh berries and coconut whipped cream.

    Variations & Substitutions

    Blueberries: Try this recipe with other fresh fruit such as blackberries, mixed berries, peaches, or strawberry and rhubarb; it's easily adaptable.

    I haven't tried this recipe with any of the 1:1 gluten-free flours yet. If you try it, let me know how it works out!

    FAQ

    Can I use frozen blueberries?

    Yes, feel free to use frozen blueberries. Do not set them aside to thaw or rinse them. Use them straight from the freezer after you have the rest of the ingredients measured and prepared. Add another tablespoon of arrowroot powder or cornstarch to the berries, and you may need to bake the cobbler for slightly longer.

    Can I use other berries or fruit?

    Yes, you can use raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or a mix of strawberries and rhubarb, or blackberries and peaches.

    What is a cobbler?

      Ooh my, that has to be on the top of my list to try. I haven't made a cobbler for years and never a blueberry one. So pleased to see you use arrowroot for thickening. I mostly use this instead of cornstarch as it's actively good for you, but never seen anyone else do the same - until now!
