A simple low carb blueberry cobbler dessert with a gluten-free topping that tastes just like the real thing. It's super easy recipe that is quick to prepare.
Article Index
My husband and kids picked nine pounds of blueberries while I was at work last week. I really like blueberries and wish that the growing season was longer.
A friend has a large area of blueberry bushes made up of different varieties and was having trouble keeping the birds out of the nets. So, he invited my family over to pick as many berries as possible.
Although I froze a bunch, I still had a lot of fresh blueberries to use up. This is a an easy low carb gluten free blueberry cobbler dessert recipe that doesn't take much time or effort.
This is my favorite low carb cobbler recipe of all that I've tried. It tastes great and I doubt others who try it would guess it was gluten free with no sugar added.
How to Make the Cobbler
For the blueberry layer, it's just berries, lemon juice and a little low carb thickener. I don't usually add sweetener to the blueberries, but if you want a sweeter dessert you can add two tablespoons or more.
The topping is a blend of almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, and egg. Butter is drizzled over top to add flavor and fat.
You could use any fruit you like in this low carb cobbler, even frozen fruit would be fine if you don't have fresh. Berries are the lowest in carbs, but fruit in general should be used with caution during low carb induction and weight lose phases.
Watch the Fruit on Keto
If you are trying to lose weight, you may want to consume fruit in moderation because it can cause a stall in your weight loss. Since this low carb blueberry cobbler dessert is primarily fruit, the net carbs could be a bit high for those on stricter keto diets.
Fruit does tend to kick people out of ketosis so be aware of this. When I'm in a weight loss stage, I try not to eat more than a couple berries at a time. Blueberries do tend to be higher carb than other berries.
You can also replace the blueberries with strawberries to reduce carbs. Strawberry cobbler is just as delicious!
Serving Suggestions
This is a wonderful keto friendly low carb gluten free blueberry cobbler dessert. It's perfect for a get together with friends where you want to make sure you have a suitable dessert that you can enjoy.
I serve this delicious fruit cobbler to my family and they never question the fact that it is low carb and gluten free. Be sure to bake it until the top is brown and crunchy. That's the way we like it.
The thing I love about this recipe is that it's so quick and easy to put together. In the summer, it's even better with a scoop of low carb ice cream on top.
I keep the leftovers in the refrigerator. So, when I want a little snack, I put some in a bowl and microwave it to heat it up. It's best to enjoy this treat warm.
Gluten Free Low Carb Blueberry Cobbler Dessert Recipe
Since this is such a popular recipe for me and my family, I decided to put together a recipe video. As you can see in the clips, it won't take long to prepare this yummy low carb blueberry cobbler.
I did use frozen blueberries in the video. It's best to bake the low carb cobbler a little longer if the berries are frozen. But, in the summer, we usually have a ton of fresh berries so that's what I normally use.
You could also top this cobbler with a crisp or crumble. If you want some recipes for that, check out my rhubarb crumble and my rhubarb crisp.

I do not have access to Xanthum Gum. Is it possible to use cornstarch to thicken fresh strawberries?
The Low Carb Cook
You can, however, cornstarch is not keto, sadly. If you want to keep the recipe low carb, you can use Psyllium husk or Konjac powder. Hope that helps!
Karen Masucci
I found this recipe mainly because I was looking for something gluten free, which this is.It turned out great! Have you made it with regular sugar??... if so would it be equal measurement?
April Iris McLeod
This looks great! I haven't tried it, yet, bc I have a couple of ? you might be able to help me with.
1) Are the carbs from the berries
2) I've seen recipes that use psyllium fiber in place of xanthan gum; have you ever tried this?
Thanks for making your recipes available!
Best,
April

You can use psyllium as a thickener. It's not slimy like xanthan gum. Most of the carbs are from the blueberries, but some come from the low-carb flours and lemon juice.
Tracy
This was one of the best keto desserts I’ve made. I just sprinkled some
Chia seeds over the blueberries and that seemed to do the trick. I also added cinnamon. Delicious
Gail
This recipe was, indeed, exceedingly tart. Also, be sure to drizzle the butter evenly over the flour mixture or you'll wind up with raw flour on top of your berries like I did. I do not plan to try this again but if I were to repeat it, I'd try doubling the sugar in the berries. Also, I'd experiment with adding the butter to the flour mixture while it was in the bowl then spooning it onto the berries.
Larry Boudolf
Does this recipe call for one 18 oz bag of frozen blueberries or two ?
Lisa MarcAurele
Just measure out 3 cups or so.
Leanne Dyck
Very good! I made the regular berry crisp for my family this week and was wanting a sugar free one for me. I will make this again for sure! Super easy and delicious!
Susie Ford
This was so easy and yummy!! I did use blueberries and the strawberry/raspberry/blueberry medley together all frozen and it may have been a little more than 3 cups. I also sprinkled the extra stevia over the berries but it really did not need it. I baked for 40 minutes or so, I am sure the fact that they were frozen extended the time.
Lili
Hi, can I subtitude the almond flour with all coconut flour for allergy reason. What would the measurement be? Thanks!
Lisa MarcAurele
It depends of the absorbency of your coconut flour. But generally, you'd add about 3-4 tablespoons in place of the almond flour.
Jenn
This was super easy to make! I did sprinkle 3 tablespoons of sugar substitute on the top of my blueberries. I also added 1/3 of sweetener instead of 1/4 because I like my desserts sweet and it dirtied one less measuring cup. Very good and so so easy. Thanks, I will make it again!
Kat
These were really good,I added blueberries and Lilly's chocolate chips.
Elizabeth O'Neill
hey just making this and used the metic metre. for the sugar for metric it says 182 grams. which is way more sugar than 1/4. heres hoping its not to sugary. silly me didnt even realized
Lisa MarcAurele
That's way too much. It should be more like 60g.
Toye Simmons
I have no idea where your 5 net carbs come in. Mine came out to 13 net carbs. It looks really good, but I didn’t notice how high the carbs are until I already made it.
Lisa MarcAurele
I don't count erythritol as it's non-impacting.
Marie
What exactly is that gum that you use? I have heard bad things about that. Can it be replaced with anything else? What is it used for in this recipe?
Lisa MarcAurele
Xanthan gum is fine to use in small quantities. But if you prefer not to use it, guar gum or glucomannan powder are great keto-friendly thickeners. If you don't mind the extra carbs, you can use arrowroot powder.
Jenn
I use about a tablespoon of chia seeds instead of the xanthan gum
Jerry
Made for the first time today. Very, very good!
Easy to make start to scraping the bowl!
Sarah
I’ll be honest, I did NOT have high hopes - I’ve been doing keto for a while and I know that anything “bready” never tastes quite right. Which is why I was VERY surprised and pleased with this recipe - even my boyfriend said it tasted like a regular cobbler. The only changes I made were that I used raspberries instead of blueberries, and I added some sweetener to the raspberries. It was DELICIOUS - and especially good with a bit of butter pecan keto ice cream!! I’m already planning on making a second one.
Ann Meola-Schoppelry
Can I only use Almond Flour and NOT coconut for the Blueberry Cobbler?
Lisa MarcAurele
Yes. That should work. I only like the texture better when using both.
Heather Black
What would the measurement be if using only almond flour? I'm out if coconut flour. ☹️
Melissa
Hi,
My husband is craving peach cobbler. Now I know it’s not exactly Keto but trying something special for our anniversary.
Do you think I could switch blueberries for fresh peaches?
Lisa MarcAurele
It should work, but you may want to reduce the sweetener as peaches are typically sweeter than berries.
Karen Callahan
I do not usually use other sweetners. I like to use coconut sugar,Maple syrup. Could I do that with this recipe and how much.
Thanks so much.
Karen
Lisa MarcAurele
Any sweetener should work and feel free to adjust the sweetness to taste.
