These blueberries are so juicy and do such a great job of soaking up the buttery topping. Hard to believe a treat so decadent can be low carb. Well, believe. I did the math and guess what? it’s low carb keto, and perfect for summer nights!

I know I just did a recipe for keto berry crisp, but I wanted to share a similar recipe. More berries, another great topping. But these recipes are here for you and I am so excited for you to be able to enjoy them every day!

I’m not a fan of raw blueberries, but I’ll happily eat anything with them baked. They turn incredibly soft and sweet, and I love how they burst and thicken in the oven. I could easily finish the whole thing if no one stops me.

I also enjoy their buttery topping. It really ties everything together. It is easy to make and adds an buttery biscuit-y perfection to the dish. It really is dessert heaven.

Filling Ingredients:

Fresh Blueberries:

We’ve only tested our recipe with fresh blueberries but frozen blueberries would probably work. However, I haven’t tested this personally.

Sweetener:

We’ve used and continue to enjoy Lakanto products. We’re currently using the original sweetener for this recipe and it is wonderful as it bakes and tastes like real sugar without raising blood glucose levels, making it COUNT AS ZERO NET CARBS.

Xanthan Gum:

Because blueberries release a good amount of liquid as they cook, the xanthan gum serves as a low carb and gluten free thickening agent that’ll help keep the blueberry cobbler from becoming a soup. It makes a difference and you only need a small amount!

Topping Ingredients:

Almond Flour: Naturally rich and buttery, almond flour is perfect for low-carb baking and adds a deliciously nutty flavor to every recipe.

Coconut flour: This coconut flour absorbs moisture and gives the topping the needed texture. I have not tried this recipe with 100% almond flour or with 100% coconut flour. Different adjustments are required in each case, as the behavior of the two flours is different.

Brown Sweetener: Lakanto’s Brown Sugar Replacement is one of our favorites. It is made with both monkfruit and erythritol, is completely natural, and doesn’t spike blood sugar.

Baking Powder and Salt

Wet Ingredients: In addition to the dry ingredients, some sour cream, an egg, almond milk, and melted butter are mixed in. These ingredients are meant to keep the keto cobbler dough from drying out and to bind it together.

I wonder… do any of these ingredients remind you of something? This is a spin-off of our sour cream biscuits recipe! A great topping for cobbler!

Why we love this recipe:

The filling and topping come together in just seconds with a quick hand stir. It’s that simple!

This dessert is naturally quite sweet, so you can adjust the sweetener to your taste, which also helps prevent any aftertaste from low-carb sweeteners.

Dessert is delicious on its own or even with just cream, but is amazing with a scoop of your preferred sugarless vanilla ice cream!

How To Make Keto Blueberry Cobbler:

Blueberry filling:

Start by washing your blueberries, then adding them to a bowl. Once dried, sprinkle about a tablespoon of sweetener over your berries, then sprinkle about a half tablespoon of xanthan gum. Stir to coat and disperse then put your blended mix into a 9-square baking dish.

Topping:

Place all ingredients for the topping into another bowl and, with a spoon or fork, mix to blend. Wait a couple minutes to allow the bowl to thicken, then use a spoon to drop small bits of topping to cover the berries.

Bake:

Then place the dish in the oven for 30 minutes. Once finished, the berries should have a thick, bubbly texture and the biscuit topping should have a nice golden crust.

Service:

This cobbler is best served warm, but we suggest you serve it after it cools down for about 20 minutes. For an even better experience add some homemade keto whipped cream or a scoop of low-carb vanilla ice cream to the cobbler!

Pro tip!

Make sure to taste the blueberries before adding in the sweetener. If the blueberries are sweet on their own, you should reduce the sweetener. You may even not need all the sweetener!

Carb Count:

Per serving, this keto blueberry cobbler has around 8 net carbs which may seem a little high for a keto dessert. It IS a little high, but this is because blueberries contain natural sugars and carbs so they are on the high end for a fruit. We have tried to keep the carbs in the dessert to a minimum, but we understand that this dessert has more carbs than most of our keto desserts.

In our experience, the higher carbs are well tolerated for days we have planned and not eaten a lot of extra carbs.

FAQ’s:

Do I need to refrigerate blueberry cobbler?

Yes, keep any leftovers in the fridge, covered, for 3 to 4 days.

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

You can try it! The recipe uses fresh berries, but frozen ones should work too.

What exactly is a cobbler?
