Ingredients

For the berry filling:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries — if frozen, do not thaw
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the cobbler topping:

  • 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 flour blend such as Bob's Red Mill
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup dairy-free milk almond, oat, or soy
  • 2 tablespoons melted dairy-free butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss the berries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt until evenly coated. Transfer to an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish and spread in an even layer.
  • Make the topping: In a separate bowl, whisk the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the dairy-free milk, melted dairy-free butter, and vanilla. Stir just until you get a thick, pancake-like batter.
  • Assemble: Spoon the batter over the berries in rustic dollops. Don't fully cover the fruit — gaps let the berries bubble through.
  • Bake: 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling thickly at the edges.
  • Rest: Let cobbler rest 10–15 minutes before serving so the filling sets up.

Notes

• Use frozen berries straight from the freezer — do not thaw before mixing.
• Let cobbler rest 10–15 minutes after baking so the filling sets up properly.
• For a regular (non-GF) version, swap the gluten-free flour 1:1 with all-purpose flour. For a non-vegan version, swap dairy butter and dairy milk 1:1.
• For an oil-free topping, omit the dairy-free butter and add 1 tablespoon applesauce for a softer texture.
• See post above for flavor variations and full FAQ.
