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.
