Fresh Blackberries

Unsalted Butter
Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour

These are the items needed to make this tasty treat, likely to be found in the pantry and paired with fresh blackberries.

Don’t forget! This same recipe can be done with a variety of fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, peach, and strawberries.

What gluten-free flour should you use for cobbler?

What makes this recipe SO EASY is that the only gluten-free specific product needed is gluten-free all-purpose flour, no other gluten-free products are needed since this will be a gluten-free flour blend. As always, remember to check all ingredients before using to be sure there is no cross-contamination.

The gluten-free all-purpose flour that you choose needs to be a 1:1 ratio, meaning it can easily be swapped for regular flour. We prefer to use King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour or Better Batter; however, Cup 4 Cup and Bob’s Red Mill work well too.

Tips for Making Gluten-Free Blackberry Cobbler:

The most important part of this recipe is fully soaking the blackberries while also being sure not to have too much liquid in the cobbler.

The best way to do this is to wash and dry the blackberries, then place them in a colander. Place the colander of blackberries over a large bowl to catch the juice. Pour 1/2 cup of granulated sugar on top of the blackberries and let them soak for about an hour.

Once you are ready to start baking your cobbler, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, then go ahead and use a ceramic 9-inch pie pan or a 9×13 ceramic baking dish that is microwave-safe. Place the entire stick of butter in the pan and heat in the microwave. If you are unable to heat the dish in the microwave, simply melt the butter and evenly pour it into the pan.

Now, once the butter is in the pan top it with the blackberries, do not stir the blackberries they should go right on top of the butter. Take about 1-2 tablespoons of juice from the bowl and add that to the baking dish with the blackberries.

In a medium-sized bowl, all the remaining ingredients will be mixed and then the mixture will be poured right on top of the blackberries, again remember that you do not mix anything.

The cobbler will bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the blackberries are soft.

After it’s baked, let it cool and then serve with your favorite topping like Vanilla Ice Cream. The full instructions will be in the recipe card below.

This recipe is the perfect way to make a berry good dessert…yes that was totally on purpose! It’s full of flavor and wonderful for a variety of parties this summer or just for family dinner!
