Quick and Easy Gluten-Free Blueberry Cobbler. That’s the recipe for today.
If you’ve been reading gfe for a while, you know how I like to keep recipes super simple. That’s always been my way of living—long before I started eating gluten free. I didn’t see any reason to change that once I went gluten free, so I didn’t just go GF, I went gluten free easily—gfe.
Today’s gluten-free Blueberry Cobbler fits the gfe approach. I promised to share this recipe a while ago and thought I better get to it before everyone’s attention has completely turned to pumpkin “everything,” right?
A long time ago, in a non-food column in our local newspaper, I read about a super-easy way to make a gluten-full berry cobbler. The local columnist was sharing his undying love for berries once again and telling readers how many quarts of blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries that he’d picked for the year (some of which he also froze for later).
He didn’t really share a recipe per se, but his cobbler method was pretty simple. He mixed a cup each of self-rising flour, sugar, and milk into a batter and poured it over a quart of berries, and then baked all for an hour. Presto … berry cobbler!
The concept seemed simple enough and I was sure that it would probably work with a gluten-free flour mix, or even with grain-free flours. In addition, I thought that it would work without xanthan gum and that any dairy-free milk could be substituted successfully for those who are dairy free.
So I set out to try a bunch of variations with blueberries as my berries of choice. Because there are just two of us, I also made my cobbler with a pint of blueberries versus a quart and I baked my cobbler in an 8 x 8 pan.
That change also reduced the baking time—which means you can be enjoying delicious homemade gluten-free Blueberry Cobbler sooner than later. Gotta love that!

Gluten-Free Blueberry Cobbler Recipe
Gluten-free blueberry cobbler just got a whole lot easier---but totally delicious---with this recipe that's basically just gluten-free flour mix, milk, sugar, and blueberries. A gluten-free flour mix works perfectly in this recipe. I also made versions using almond flour by itself and almond flour with a little sweet rice flour mixed in. There are probably several other single gluten-free flours that can be used successfully as the flour in this recipe. I’m thinking sorghum flour, buckwheat flour, oat flour (use oat flour made from certified gluten-free purity protocol oats; update: I don't recommend any oat products at this time due to recent testing showing gluten in even certified gluten-free purity protocol oat products), and the like. I used all sweet rice flour in one version and the results were super chewy. We liked it, but the next day it was even chewier---and very difficult to cut or spoon out a serving---so I don’t recommend using sweet rice flour by itself or using a mix with a lot of sweet rice flour. If you are making your cobbler grain free, you can use this grain-free baking powder.Gluten-Free Blueberry Cobbler

Hi Shirley, I am grain free. By using almond flour, could I use a little coconut flour with it? If so, how much?
Thank you
Shirley Braden says
Hi Patricia–It’s good to see you again! 🙂 I think it would work fine with just almond flour alone, but adding about a tablespoon of sifted coconut flour to it should also yield good results. After making batter, let it sit a minute or so to thicken a bit. After baking it, if you think it thickens it a little too much, you can back down to 2 tsp next time. Please let us know your results. Fingers crossed that they’ll be delicious!

I was wondering how many calories and how many grams of carbs there are pre serving.
Thanks!

Hi Tina–First, welcome to gfe! Unfortunately I don’t have the knowledge to give you the nutritional info for my recipes and don’t have the time to pursue getting that info for each one. However, there are some good sites online where you can enter the recipe info and get the nutritional values. Here’s one you can use to determine calories and carbs for this cobbler.
Hope that info helps!
