Keto Blueberry Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients:
For the filling:
- 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup erythritol or any preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
For the topping:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flour
- 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or almond milk)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
- Prepare the blueberry filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries, sweetener, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using).
- If you prefer a thicker filling, you can mix the cornstarch or xanthan gum with a little water to create a slurry and stir it into the blueberry mixture.
- Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Prepare the topping:
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and heavy cream.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until a dough forms. It will be thick, like biscuit dough.
- Assemble the cobbler:
- Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the blueberry filling. It doesn’t need to cover the entire surface, as it will spread out as it bakes.
- Bake the cobbler:
- Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- If the topping is browning too quickly, cover the dish loosely with foil and continue baking.
- Cool and serve:
- Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, ideally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
Tips:
- Frozen blueberries: You can use frozen blueberries if fresh ones aren’t available. Just make sure to thaw and drain them slightly to avoid excess liquid in the filling.
- Thickening the filling: The cornstarch or xanthan gum is optional, but it helps create a thicker filling that holds together better. If you’re watching your carbs closely, xanthan gum is a great choice because it has very few carbs.
- Topping texture: For a crispier topping, you can sprinkle a little extra sweetener on top of the biscuit dough before baking.
Enjoy your Keto Blueberry Cobbler! It’s a fantastic low-carb dessert that’s perfect for a sweet treat without the carbs.
