Ingredients and Substitutions

Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients in this recipe. You can see a complete list of ingredients and instructions in the recipe card below.

Fresh blueberries - Fresh juicy blueberries are best in this recipe. Frozen blueberries can be substituted. If using frozen, do not thaw and follow the instructions written. Baking time may need to be a bit longer.

Almond flour - Provides a moist crumb and a buttery biscuit taste to the topping.

White rice flour and tapioca starch - Combined with the almond flour, this flour mixture helps bind and create a soft, cake-like topping. No need for a pastry cutter here.

Olive oil - The richness of olive oil enhances the flavor of the biscuits. Melted vegan butter or coconut oil can also be substituted. If using melted coconut oil, ensure that it has cooled slightly.

Unsweetened almond milk - Almond milk is used in this recipe but any dairy-free milk can be substituted.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Before you start: Rinse blueberries and pat dry. Prepare lemon zest. Spray baking dish with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 1: Gently combine the blueberry filling ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2: Transfer the blueberry mixture to the prepared baking dish. Place the baking dish onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, carefully stir, and return to oven and bake for 15 minutes more.

Step 3: Prepare the biscuits. Combine the biscuit ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk until ingredients are evenly incorporated. 

Step 4: Add almond milk and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture starts to thicken. Place bowl in the refrigerator and allow to chill for at least 10 minutes or until ready to top filling. 

Step 5: Use a ¼ measuring cup to drop biscuit dough on top of the blueberries. Using a pastry brush, use the remaining almond milk, brush the tops of the biscuits with it, and then sprinkle with extra organic sugar.

Step 6: Bake for 24-26 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits start to turn a light golden brown. Allow the gluten-free cobbler to cool for about 20 minutes before serving.

Tips

• Prepare the lemon zest, rinse the blueberries, and prepare the baking dish prior to starting.
• Chilling the biscuit dough helps in firming it up prior to dropping it onto the filling. Don't skip this step.
• Once the cobbler cools slightly, serve with a scoop of ice cream.
