Healthier Blueberry Cobbler

Looking for a delicious summer dessert that you can feel good about eating? This healthier blueberry cobbler is perfect for you! It’s made with an amazing whole wheat topping that has a beautiful nutty taste and fresh blueberries. This recipe uses less sugar than others to really let those blueberries shine without being tooth-achingly sweet.

Another reason I love this healthier blueberry cobbler is because it is so easy to make! Everything comes together in just one bowl and under 15 minutes! Plus, there’s no special equipment required. This recipe is perfect for those lazy summer evenings when you want a quick dessert. Just pop the cobbler into the oven and by the time you’re finished with dinner, it’ll be ready!

Tips:

The blueberries are tossed with sugar, all purpose flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest. The flour just helps to thicken the blueberries when they are cooking so you get a velvety smooth sauce.

In order to minimize clean up, I like to just mix the blueberries, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest directly in the baking dish that I will be using. If you don’t want to do that, just toss them together in a separate bowl and dump them into the baking dish.

The topping is made with whole wheat and almond flour but if you don’t have almond flour, feel free to substitute it with whole wheat flour. Since whole wheat flour has a fairly high protein content, it’s especially important to not overmix because that could result in a tough topping.

Ingredients

Berry mixture:

• 4 cups fresh blueberries washed
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Topping:

• 1/2 cup almond flour or substitute whole wheat flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• dash of ground cinnamon optional
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chopped into small pieces cold
• 3/4 cup milk of choice

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375º F.

Mix the blueberry filling:

• In a 9×13 pan, add the blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, all purpose flour, and lemon juice. Mix together until the blueberries are evenly coated.

Make the topping:

• In a large bowl, add the almond flour, whole wheat flour, salt, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together to combine. Add the cubed butter and cut into the flour using your fingers, a fork, or a pastry cutter. Work the butter until it forms small pea sized crumbs. Then add the milk and mix just until everything is combined.
• Spoon blobs of the topping on top of the blueberries, leaving some gaps where the blueberries show through. Bake until the topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling, 35-40 minutes. An inserted toothpick into the topping should come out clean. Let cool slightly before enjoying.
