Recipe Details

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cook Time: 25 minutes
• Total Time: 30 minutes
• Servings: 9

Ingredients

For the Blueberry Filling:

• 3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2–4 tablespoons low-carb sweetener (optional, depending on desired sweetness)

For the Cobbler Topping:

• ⅔ cup almond flour
• ⅓ cup coconut flour
• ¼ cup low-carb sugar substitute (adjust to taste)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Filling

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
3. Add the blueberries to the prepared dish. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the berries.
4. If you prefer a sweeter filling, add 2–4 tablespoons of your favorite low-carb sweetener and toss gently to coat the berries.

Step 2: Make the Cobbler Topping

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, low-carb sweetener, and beaten egg. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler

1. Sprinkle the dry topping mixture evenly over the blueberries in the baking dish.
2. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the topping to help it brown and crisp up.

Step 4: Bake the Cobbler

1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm, topped with whipped cream or a dollop of keto-friendly ice cream if desired.

Tips and Tricks

1. Adjust the Sweetness: The recipe keeps the sweetener minimal to let the natural sweetness of the blueberries shine. If you prefer a sweeter cobbler, feel free to increase the sweetener in both the filling and topping.
2. Using Frozen Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw them. Just toss them in the dish, and they’ll cook perfectly in the oven.
3. Xanthan Gum Alternative: If you don’t have xanthan gum, you can substitute it with a pinch of glucomannan powder to thicken the filling.
4. Topping Texture: For an extra crispy topping, sprinkle a small amount of crushed nuts, such as pecans or almonds, over the top before baking.
