Ingredients Needed

Blueberries-I use fresh blueberries for convenience, but I've tried this with both frozen and fresh blueberries and it comes out great either way! If you have extra fresh blueberries, make my Blueberry Mocktail!

Coconut Sugar-this is a lower glycemic sugar than cane sugar and it keeps this recipe paleo! I use some coconut sugar in my Gluten Free Ramen recipe!

Cassava Flour-I've tried a variety of brands of cassava flour and I've found they all are a little different. My baked goods will have slightly different textures. I love using Terrasoul and you can buy it from their site or from Amazon!

Palm Shortening-I always look for one that's sustainably sourced and preferably organic too.

See the recipe card below for details!

Substitutions and Variations

Instead of Cassava Flour, try All Purpose Gluten Free Flour! As written this is a paleo blueberry cobbler, but using all purpose gluten free flour will keep it gluten free even with some grains!

You can also use coconut milk instead of the almond milk.

If you don't need to keep it paleo but just gluten free, you could also use oat milk or rice milk.

To make it egg free, try a chia or flax egg. It's simple to make. For a flax egg, mix 1 Tbsp. flax with 2.5 Tbsp. water. For a chia egg, mix 1 Tbsp. chia with 3 Tbsp. water.

If you want to make it with fresh berries, decrease the tapioca flour. You still want it syrupy and thick, but too much tapioca flour will make the paleo berry cobbler too gooey, in a bad way!

How to Make Blueberry Cobbler

The blueberry filling being mixed together with a rubber spatula.

Step 1: Place the blueberries, tapioca flour, and coconut sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently, allowing the blueberries to thaw and a thick syrup to form. Once everything is thawed and the syrup just starts bubbling, it's done. Set aside.

The dry ingredients being mixed together with a wooden spoon.

Step 2: Meanwhile, mix the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.

The wet ingredients being mixed into the dry ingredients.

Step 3: Add the wet ingredients into the dry, and mix until just mixed. While every cassava flour brand can yield a different texture, you basically want a dough like mixture.

Step 4: Place the blueberry mixture into a greased baking dish and use your hands to spread pieces of the dough on top. It doesn't need to be all covered, just keep the thickness as even as possible. Place it into an oven pre-heated to 350F and bake for 35-40 minutes.

Top Tips for making Paleo Blueberry Cobbler

When making the filling, be sure to stir frequently! If you leave it and walk away, it will stick to the bottom of the pan and burn, ruining the flavor and filling as a whole.

When mixing the wet into the dry ingredients for the topping, only stir until it's JUST mixed. If you over mix it, the topping will be come out too hard.

Gluten Free Blueberry Cobbler FAQ's

Can you make gluten free blueberry cobbler ahead of time?

Yes you can! I only recommend making it a max of 1 or 2 days ahead of time. To reheat the entire cobbler, cover it with foil and place it in the oven on a lower temperature of 250F degrees to let it heat evenly without the fruit getting too hot.

Can I use fresh or frozen blueberries in gluten free blueberry cobbler?

Yes, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this cobbler! The recipe is written for frozen blueberries, but for fresh you'll need to adjust the flour quantity (see above).

Can I leave gluten free blueberry cobbler out overnight?

Yes, you can leave blueberry cobbler out overnight! It will typically be safe to do so for 1 night. However to be safe, especially if it's very hot out, then place it in the fridge in an airtight container.
