One of my Fearless Dining readers, Linda C, sent me an email telling me how much she missed her mother's blueberry cobbler since going gluten free. When I thought about it, I couldn't remember the last time I had blueberry cobbler."
I can't wait to share this cobbler recipe with you! It truly is my hope it brings back memories of what your mom made. I will confess and say I didn't simmer the blueberries in a pot, I found they cook up beautifully while baking in the oven.
Why this recipe is great:

What you need to make this cobbler:
- Gluten free flour blend - I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
- Xanthan gum - If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
- Coconut oil - You can use another light oil if you prefer. Don't use olive oil.
- Blueberries - you can use fresh or frozen. Note if you use frozen blueberries, let them thaw and pour out some of the extra liquid.

Recipe step by step directions:
It really is easy...grab some fresh blueberries and preheat your oven to 350º F!
Step 1: Add your dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk to blend.
I have tested two gluten free flour blends in this recipe. I liked King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend. This doesn't mean other blends won't work, I just haven't tested any others. Try to avoid flour blends that are high in starch.
As always, if your blend does not contain Xanthan Gum, you will need to add 1 teaspoon.
Step 2: In a smaller bowl, add the wet ingredients and mix. Pour into your dry ingredients and mix.
Step 3: In another bowl, add your blueberries and mix in the ingredients for the blueberries. Toss to coat the blueberries. Add to a greased 8x8 pan.
Step 4: Spread the cobbler breading on top of the blueberry mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes (depending on how thick you add the topping and the size of your baking pan).
Step 5: Spoon onto a plate and top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ:
You can use fresh or frozen blueberries in this cobbler recipe. Note if you use frozen blueberries that your blueberry mixture will be a little wetter if you don't drain some of the liquid.
This cobbler recipe is finished baking when the top is firm to touch. You can insert a toothpick into the biscuit topping. If the toothpick comes back dry, and the blueberry bottom is bubbly, the cobbler is ready.
You can easily make this into a crisp. Just use the crisp topping recipe in my Gluten Free Apricot Crisp recipe.
This cobbler will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.
