Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with coconut oil.
- Wash and prepare the mixed berries, removing any stems or damaged fruit. If using larger berries like strawberries, slice them into smaller, uniform pieces.
- Spread the mixed berries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a single layer of fruit.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Carefully pour the batter over the berries, trying to cover most of the fruit surface. The batter will spread slightly during baking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cobbler topping comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The cobbler can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
- Optional: Serve with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream for added indulgence.
Tips
- Berry Selection: Use a mix of fresh or frozen berries for the most vibrant flavor. If using frozen berries, do not thaw them first to prevent excess moisture.
- Flour Matters: Ensure you're using a high-quality gluten-free flour blend for the best texture and taste.
- Coconut Oil Trick: Melt the coconut oil completely and let it cool slightly before mixing to prevent any clumping in the batter.
- Baking Precision: Keep an eye on the cobbler during the last 5-10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the cobbler to rest for 10-15 minutes after baking. This helps the topping set and makes serving easier.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch of indulgence, serve with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
- Storage Tip: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven for best results.
