My favorite part about this delicious dessert is the cobbler topping is so easy to make.

There’s no kneading or cutting in butter, and no baking experience is necessary, as you simply stir the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. 

The same is true for the strawberry filling, making this one of the easiest desserts you’ll ever make!

Let’s discuss the simple ingredients for this gluten-free strawberry cobbler recipe!

Ingredients for Gluten Free Strawberry Cobbler:

Gluten-Free Flour Blend: In order to keep this cobbler gluten-free, use your favorite gluten-free flour blend. The blend you use needs to be a 1:1 replacement for regular all-purpose flour.

I use Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour. If you use a different gluten-free flour blend, note that the cobbler topping may turn out differently.  

You’ll also use a couple tablespoons of gluten-free flour for the strawberry filling in order to make it nice and thick and give it that gooey goodness!

Coconut Oil: Gives buttery flavor to the cobbler topping while keeping it dairy-free! Coconut oil has magnificent flavor and creates a lovely topping for crisps, crumbles, and cobblers. Use butter or vegan butter instead if you prefer.

Pure Maple Syrup: Used for sweetening both the cobbler topping and the strawberry filling, pure maple syrup is a great ingredient for keeping treats refined sugar-free. 

Fresh Strawberries: The star of the show! Fresh, vibrant ripe strawberries are what make this whole dessert sing.

Vanilla Extract: Optional, but recommended for the topping. It adds a nice warmth to the cobbler biscuits for delicious buttery flavor.

Sea Salt: Use it both in the filling and in the cobbler topping! Sea salt brings out an amazing amount of flavor in baked goods and helps them taste even sweeter without having to add more sweetener!

Baking Soda: Makes the topping nice and crispy.

Recipe Adaptations:

• Turn this into a mixed berry cobbler using 2 cups strawberries, 1 cup blueberries, and 1 cup raspberries.
• Add rolled oats to the topping. To do so, use 3/4 cup of gluten-free flour and 1/2 cup of rolled oats.
• If you’re looking for a grain-free version of this recipe, follow my Almond Flour Strawberry Crumble.
• Don’t replace the GF flour blend with a grain-free flour such as almond flour or coconut flour, as you will need to make additional changes to accommodate a grain-free flour.
• For a sweeter cobbler, add 1 to 3 tablespoons of brown sugar to the strawberry mixture and the cobbler mixture.
• Add one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the strawberry mixture for a little depth of flavor.
• If you aren’t gluten-free, use regular flour.

How to Make Vegan Strawberry Cobbler:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Add all ingredients for the cobbler topping to a mixing bowl and stir to combine. A thick, greasy dough should form. The greasiness is normal!

Toss together the ingredients for the strawberry filling in a large bowl until well-combined.

Transfer the strawberry filling mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. I use a 10-inch cast iron skillet. You can also use an 8” x 8” or 9” x 9” baking pan.

Top the strawberry filling using the cobbler dough. You can form biscuit shapes if you’d like, or simply spread the topping all over.

Bake in the preheated oven 30 to 40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and crispy.

Serve warm strawberry cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream and enjoy!

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

The next time you’re craving a strawberry dessert, whip up this easy recipe! It is a magical celebration of strawberry season, and it can be used as a base recipe for other fresh fruit cobblers.
