Summertime is here, which means cookouts and pool parties and BBQ's! Dessert is essential, and this paleo berry cobbler is essential! It's also perfect for July 4th cookouts, since the mixed berries have patriotic colors! Serve this all summer long and it'll be a hit!
Ingredients for Paleo Berry Cobbler
Since this is a paleo mixed berry cobbler, you can really use any frozen berry mix you like! You could either mix them yourself to make 5 cups, or buy a bag of pre-mixed berries.
For the cassava flour, I like to use Terrasoul. Usually I buy right from Amazon, but I've also ordered it from right from their site. Cassava flour is made from Yucca, and is grain free and paleo! It's a paleo flour that is similar to regular white flour compared to other paleo flours. Sometimes it can be a 1:1 substitution. However with baking, you typically use a bit less of cassava flour due to it being a "thirsty" flour where it absorbs more liquid than regular flour.
You can also buy many of these ingredients from Thrive Market. They sell many alternative baking goods, snacks, sauces, and so much more! If you have a gluten free lifestyle or are just wanting to eat clean, definitely check them out! The shipping is so fast and convenient. Are you a teacher or military member?

Paleo Berry Cobbler
Ingredients
Filling
- 5 cups mixed berries frozen
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoon tapioca flour
Topping
- 1 cup cassava flour
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup palm shortening
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup almond milk
Instructions
- Grease an 8x8 baking dish and set aside. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- Place the mixed berries in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar and tapioca flour and mix thoroughly. Stir frequently as the berries thaw. Once it bubbles, let it simmer for about 3 minutes to thicken while stirring. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Mix together remaining dry ingredients for toppings. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and mix until just combined.
- Pour the berry mixture into the greased dish. Top with the dough, and spread it evenly to cover.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until a knife comes out clean from the topping.
Allergen/Lifestyle Friendly
One thing I love about this recipe is that it is so allergen friendly! It's gluten free and grain free, since the flours in use are cassava and tapioca. It's dairy free, since it has no butter but instead uses palm shortening! I also used almond milk in here instead of dairy milk. Also since the flours are nut made from nuts, it's nut free as well!
Substitutions
I haven't experimented with it yet, but if I didn't have cassava flour, I'd use an all purpose gluten free or paleo flour mix. As stated above, cassava flour is the closest to regular all purpose flour, so it's worth a try.
You can also use coconut milk instead of the almond milk. If you don't need to keep it paleo, you could also use oat milk or rice milk. Read your labels to keep it paleo! Lots of non dairy milks have added ingredients. Some aren't so bad, others are unnecessary. Many nut milks have added sugar, but be sure to buy the unsweetened version!
To make it egg free, try a chia or flax egg. It's simple to make. For a flax egg, mix 1 Tpsb. 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!
