How to make gluten free blueberry cobbler:
Blueberries: Add the blueberries, lemon zest and juice, sugar and oat flour right into the baking dish. Mix well.
Topping: Whisk together the oat flour, suger, baking powder and cinnamon. Add in the butter and use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut it into the flour mixture. Stir in the boiling water, vanilla and almond extracts.
Bake: Dollop the topping over the blueberries, covering as evenly as possible. Sprinkle with sugar and bake until golden brown and bubbly.
Leftovers?
Leave any leftovers in the baking dish and cover with plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days, but the sooner you eat it the better it will taste.
To reheat, remove the plastic wrap and place in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until warmed through. Alternately, you can microwave for 1 minute or until warm.
Can I make it with fresh or frozen berries?
Both fresh and frozen berries work in this recipe. I tend to use frozen, since they are always in my freezer, but fresh blueberries, especially when they are in season, are delicious!
Can I use other berries?!
Absolutely! Substitute other berries in equal amounts. Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, etc.!
Oat flour 101
Oat flour is the key ingredient in our cobbler topping. This gluten free flour gives the topping an incredible fluffy texture and great flavor.
Oat flour is readily available in grocery stores, especially health food stores. If you can't find it locally, add rolled oats to your food processor or blender and process until a the oats become a fine powder aka homemade oat flour.
If needed, be sure that your oat flour/oats are certified gluten free.
