    Ingredients For This Recipe

    ingredients for this recipe.

    Blackberries are a delicious and nutritious berry full of antioxidants and nutrients. They come into season in most US states around mid-summer.

    Although this gluten-free blackberry cobbler recipe uses summer-fresh blackberries, you can use frozen berries any time of the year.

    Arrowroot mixes with the blackberries to remove excess moisture, helping to prevent sogginess. Cornstarch is an alternative to arrowroot.

    Cinnamon provides a delicious spice that warms the recipe as it bakes.

    Baking powder acts as a leavening in the topping, helping the biscuit crust to rise and brown while becoming light and fluffy.

    This gluten-free blackberry cobbler replaces all-purpose flour with almond flour making it the perfect summer dessert for any dietary restriction.

    Use raw cane sugar, maple syrup, honey, or coconut sugar to sweeten it. You can also use monk fruit sweetener or stevia to make it sugar-free, keto, and low-carb.

    Coconut oil provides the fat source for the recipe giving this blackberry cobbler richness, texture, and moisture. Use refined coconut oil or butter as an alternative.

    Dairy-free almond milk adds moisture, texture, and flavor to the dessert. Dairy milk can also be used.

    Taste and Texture

    This gluten-free blackberry cobbler with almond flour crust combines two textures; crispy and crunchy topping with sweet and gooey berry filling.

    It is sweet and fresh, warm and delicious! It tastes similar to blackberry pie, with the strongest flavors being blackberries and vanilla.

    How to Make This Recipe

    Below are step-by-step instructions for how to cook this recipe. The recipe card at the bottom shows the exact cooking time and temperatures.

    Step 1

    bowl of blackberries.

    Preheat oven to 350F. Spray an oven-safe baking dish like a pie plate, casserole dish, dutch oven, or cast iron skillet with coconut oil spray and set aside. Wash and cut blackberries into smaller pieces.

    Step 2

    blackberry filling ingredients in a glass bowl.

    Combine filling ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon filling into the baking dish using a slotted spoon to avoid adding too much liquid.

    Step 3

    almond flour biscuit crust ingredients for blackberry cobbler in a bowl.

    Combine crust ingredients in a separate bowl.

    Step 4

    unbaked blackberry cobbler in a white dish.

    Use a small spoon to top the fruit filling with crust. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.

    Step 5

    Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving with ice cream or whipped cream.

    Expert Tips

    If using frozen berries, add more arrowroot or cornstarch to reduce excess moisture.

    Chop large blackberries into bite-sized pieces.

    If almond flour is clumping, use a fine-mesh sieve to sift it lightly before incorporating it.

    This gluten-free blackberry cobbler can also be made into four individual portions using ramekins instead of an 8X8 baking dish. Reduce the bake time to 20 minutes and monitor from there.

    Allow the blackberry cobbler to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

    Storage, Freezing, Make-Ahead, Serving, and Reheating Tips

    Storage: Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Freezer: May be frozen unbaked or baked in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow extra baking time if baking straight from frozen.

    Make-Ahead: Filling may be made ahead up to 1 day in advance. Be sure to drain all liquid before assembling and baking. Topping not recommended to be made in advanced as it may become too moist.

    Serving: Serve warm gluten free blackberry cobbler with ice cream or topped with whipped cream.

    Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the microwave in 30-second increments or until desired temperature.

    Recipe FAQs

    What kind of sweetener should I use?

    To make this recipe low-carb or keto, use monk fruit sweetener.  You can also use stevia, erythritol, or another low-carb sweetener. 

    Does it need to be refrigerated?

    You can leave the cobbler on the countertop for about 12 hours then should refrigerate it.  You can reheat it in the microwave for serving.

    How do I make blackberries sweeter without sugar?

    If berries need a bit of sweetener you can try honey, stevia, monk fruit or maple syrup in place of sugar.

    Can you take the seeds out of blackberries?

    The seeds are edible and do not need to be removed to make this recipe. However, if you want to make this recipe with no seeds, check out this resource from Garden Guides which demonstrates how to remove blackberry seeds.

    How do you keep cobbler crispy and not soggy?

    Be sure to toss the blackberries with arrowroot or cornstarch when making the blackberry filling. This will help to reduce excess moisture keeping the blackberry cobbler not soggy and the almond flour crust crispy.

    Can I use frozen blackberries?

    You can use frozen berries, but increase the amount of arrowroot or cornstarch you are using to account for additional moisture.
