Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 2 cups fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 2 tablespoons keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional for Garnish:
- Whipped cream or keto ice cream
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Blackberry Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine the blackberries, sweetener, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the berries are evenly coated. Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
3. Prepare the Cobbler Topping:
In another bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add in the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until a thick batter forms.
4. Top the Blackberries:
Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the blackberry mixture, spreading it gently to cover most of the berries. Don’t worry if the topping doesn’t cover everything—it will spread slightly as it bakes.
5. Bake:
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberries are bubbling. Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving.
6. Serve:
Serve the cobbler warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of keto ice cream, if desired.
Cooking Tips
- Sweetness Level: You can adjust the sweetness in both the filling and the topping to suit your taste. If your berries are particularly tart, feel free to add a bit more sweetener.
- Fresh or Frozen Berries: Both fresh and frozen blackberries work well in this recipe. If using frozen berries, be sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid to prevent the cobbler from becoming too watery.
- Thicker Topping: If you prefer a thicker topping, add an extra tablespoon of coconut flour to the batter.
Keto and Low-Carb Versions
This cobbler is already keto-friendly and low-carb thanks to the almond and coconut flour mixture, which mimics a traditional cobbler topping without the high-carb flour. With only a few grams of net carbs per serving, this dessert is a fantastic way to satisfy your sweet tooth while staying in ketosis.
Recipe Variations
- Mixed Berry Cobbler: Use a mixture of berries such as raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries for a delightful blend of flavors.
- Peach Cobbler: Replace the blackberries with fresh or frozen peaches (sliced) for a keto peach cobbler variation. Be mindful of the slightly higher carb count in peaches.
- Cinnamon Spice Cobbler: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg to the topping for a warm, spiced flavor that complements the blackberries beautifully.
