Paleo blackberry cobbler made grain-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free, and vegan. This super easy recipe is completely goof-proof and only requires about 45 minutes to make!
Blackberry cobbler is by far one of my favorite fruit-infused desserts. The buttery topping, the juicy, gooey, sweet and tangy blackberries…paired with a great vanilla ice cream, there are few equally mouth-watering foods you can put in your face.
I make my cobblers, crisps, and crumbles grain-free using almond flour, tapioca flour and just a touch of pure maple syrup. Take, for example, my Paleo Pear Crumble, Grain-Free Cherry Crumble, Paleo Raspberry Crumble, Paleo Strawberry Crumble, and my Gluten-Free Peach Crisp. What can I say? Girl loves her fruit-infused desserts!
They are so incredibly easy to toss together, and the result is out of this world!
A more traditional cobbler uses buttery, flaky biscuits as the topping, or a pie crust topping. If you prefer the presentation of the biscuit topping approach, you can still use this grain-free almond flour topping – simply form it into round discs!
The topping turns out so nice and moist, crispy and tastes buttery in spite of the fact that it’s butter-free! The filling? So berry delicious, I can barely put it into words. You’ll just have to taste it to believe it!
Let’s cut the chit chat and bake it!
How to Make Paleo Blackberry Cobbler:
Preheat your oven and bring out a small casserole dish or 8” x 8” square cake pan or 8 or 9” round cake pan.
Stir together the ingredients for the cobbler topping in a mixing bowl until well-combined. The mixture should be thick, like cookie dough.
In a separate bowl, stir together the ingredients for the blackberry filling.
Spread the blackberry filling mixture in the baking dish and spread into an even layer. Add the almond flour topping by simply dropping it on top in crumbles/balls/biscuits. I prefer the rustic approach, so I just drop the topping mixture in, all willy nilly.
Bake until the blackberry filling is nice and bubbly and the topping is golden-brown and crispy.
Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving it in bowls with ice cream.
Recipe Adaptations:
- Double or triple the recipe if serving more than 4 people.
- Replace blackberries with blueberries, strawberries, peaches, or raspberries.
- Use arrowroot flour instead of tapioca flour.
- Replace the almond flour for the topping with hazelnut flour.
Serving Options:
May I recommend my Keto Cookie Dough Ice Cream, Vanilla Keto Ice Cream, or 3-Ingredient No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream? Store-bought works, too!
Blackberry cobbler for breakfast! ..err…dessert…on repeat!

I made this with fresh black currants. I doubled the topping recipe and it came out as soup. Tastes good, but not a cobbler.

Hi Heather,
Did you make any other changes to the recipe? - Did you add the tapioca flour to the filling mixture, and/or did you use frozen blackberries instead of fresh?

Can you substitute green banana flour for the tapioca flour? And any subs for the extracts? Thank you.
