Gluten-Free Mixed Berry Cobbler
As a nutrition consultant and chef, I always lean into nature’s seasonal bounty for both flavor and nourishment. And nothing screams summer quite like a bubbling, golden brown mixed berry cobbler fresh out of the oven. Growing up in Poland, I spent countless summer afternoons picking berries with my grandma—or baskets were always full of blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. We’d head home, sun-kissed and sticky-fingered, only to turn those vibrant berries into a warm, comforting fruit cobbler served with a cold scoop of vanilla ice cream. Now, I’m making this cobbler here in US with a gluten-free twist.

Ingredients you’ll need for Mixed Berry Cobbler
Did you know?
Did you know that berries are among the highest antioxidant foods on the planet? Those vibrant colors — from deep indigo blueberries to ruby red raspberries — come from powerful plant compounds like anthocyanins and ellagic acid, which help fight inflammation, support cellular repair, and even protect your skin from UV damage. Think of berries as nature’s little edible skincare allies!
Plus, strawberries are technically not true berries (botanically speaking), but bananas are. Wild, right?
How to Make Mixed Berry Gluten-Free Cobbler
- Prepare the Fruit Filling: In a large mixing bowl, toss your fresh berries with lemon juice, zest, and a sprinkle of coconut sugar.
- Make the Cobbler Topping: In another large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: gluten-free flour blend or almond flour, a pinch of salt, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter until the mixture forms small pieces resembling coarse crumbs.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk almond milk, vanilla extract, and a touch of maple syrup.
- Assemble: Pour the berry mixture into a prepared baking dish, and spoon the biscuit dough topping over the top of the fruit.
- Bake: Bake at medium heat until the top turns golden brown and the berries bubble up from underneath.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Milk: Swap with coconut milk or almond milk for a nuttier flavor.
- Coconut Sugar: Replace with brown sugar or granulated sugar for a more classic taste.
- Gluten-Free Flour Blend: Rice flour, coconut flour, or a mix including tapioca starch and xanthan gum can create different textures.
- Vegan Butter: A great way to make this cobbler dairy-free.
- Mascarpone: Use whipped coconut cream for a vegan-friendly option.
Health Benefits (For Women’s Health)
As a nutrition consultant and chef, I love recipes that nourish as much as they delight. Each bite of this cobbler offers:
- Berries: High in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C, which support collagen production and hormonal balance.
- Almond Flour: Offers protein, healthy fats, and magnesium—essential for stress management and hormone health.
- Lemon: Rich in vitamin C and digestive enzymes, great for metabolism and skin health.
- Cinnamon: Supports blood sugar balance, which can help stabilize mood and cravings.
- Gluten-Free Flours: Reduces inflammation and supports gut health, a must for hormonal balance.
Chef Tips
- Use Fresh or Frozen Berries: Both work! Frozen berries might add a little extra juice, but that’s part of the charm.
- Cold Butter is Key: For the biscuit topping to be flaky and crisp, make sure your butter is cold when mixed into the flour mixture.
- Room Temperature Fruit: If using frozen berries, thaw them first for even baking.
- Pastry Cutter Love: Don’t skip the pastry cutter — it makes the topping texture perfectly crumbly.
- Add Mascarpone: For next level indulgence, dollop some mascarpone on the cobbler before serving.
Ways To Serve
- With a scoop of vanilla ice cream or coconut-based ice cream for dairy-free delight.
- Topped with whipped mascarpone or whipped coconut cream.
- Drizzled with extra maple syrup for those who like it extra sweet.
- Pair it with your favorite ice cream for the perfect summer dessert.
Storage
- Airtight Container: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezer-Friendly: Freeze the fruit filling and biscuit topping separately for the best results when reheated.
Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Pastry Cutter

FAQ
Can I make this cobbler with almond flour only?
While almond flour gives a delicious nutty flavor and moist texture, combining it with a gluten-free flour blend ensures a classic cobbler structure, especially for the biscuit topping.
Can I use frozen berries?
Absolutely! Frozen berries are a great way to enjoy this cobbler outside of berry season. Just thaw them to room temperature before using to avoid extra moisture.
Is xanthan gum necessary?
If your gluten-free flour blend doesn’t include xanthan gum, adding a pinch helps mimic the elasticity of purpose flour.
Why use coconut sugar or maple syrup instead of brown sugar?
Coconut sugar and maple syrup offer a lower glycemic index and a richer flavor than granulated sugar or brown sugar.
What’s the difference between this and a berry crisp?
A crisp recipe usually uses oats or nut-based toppings, while this fruit cobbler focuses on biscuit dough’s magic—fluffy, golden brown, and flaky.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Swap butter for vegan butter and mascarpone for whipped coconut cream for a 100% dairy-free and still indulgent cobbler.
What about using coconut flour?
Coconut flour can be part of the flour mixture, but it’s very absorbent. Adjust your wet ingredients to balance the dough.
Can I serve this at a dinner party?
You bet! This gluten-free cobbler recipe is one of the easiest desserts to prepare, and the presentation — especially with fresh berries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream — makes it an elegant end to any dinner party.
Next time I want to make peach cobbler. Will this work?
Absolutely! Swap out the berries for juicy peaches, adjust the sugar a bit to match their sweetness, and you’ll have the perfect peach cobbler.
This gluten-free mixed berry cobbler recipe isn’t just about baking — it’s about making memories, celebrating berry season, and enjoying the simplest of summer pleasures. Whether you’re spooning it warm into bowls at a family BBQ or savoring leftovers cold the next morning (yes, it’s that good), this fruit cobbler is pure, sun-soaked joy in every bite. Now that’s what I call a perfect dessert.
