Why make my keto cobbler

Arman Liew

I love the flavor of blueberries, and they’re one of my favorite fruits to turn into low-carb desserts, so I figured, why not give my famous (non-keto) blueberry cobbler a low-carb makeover? 

I drew inspiration from my keto blackberry cobbler, but swapped out the blackberries for blueberries and retested the topping to make it more like a biscuit than a cake. My version has the perfect balance of tart blueberries with a fluffy, golden, and light topping that makes you reach for a second helping!

Here are some other reasons why you need to add this to your menu:

  • 3 grams of net carbs. But you’d never be able to tell by how decadent it tastes. 
  • Simple ingredients. And if you’re a fan of baking keto desserts, you probably have everything you’ll need on hand. 
  • Doesn’t skimp on flavor. I was surprised at how easy it was to make a low-carb cobbler. Really, the only major difference is the biscuit topping, which uses almond flour instead of regular flour, but I prefer it that way.

Key Ingredients

Here’s what goes into my cobbler, along with kitchen notes. The complete list with measurements is in the recipe card below.

  • Blueberries. Either frozen or fresh blueberries can be used.
  • Granulated sweetener of choice. I recently retested this using allulose, and it worked so much better than monk fruit sweetener or erythritol (what I’d used initially).
  • Cinnamon. Gives a subtle but lovely cinnamon flavor throughout.
  • Xanthan gum. Thickens the filling, without adding any extra carbs. Please be cautious when measuring this out: a little goes a very long way, and adding a little too much will make the filling viscous instead of gooey.
  • Lemon juice. To balance the sweetness and work alongside the xanthan gum to maintain thickness.

For the biscuit topping

  • Almond flour. Blanched almond flour is preferred, but almond meal can also be used.
  • Baking powder. Gives a little rise and fluffiness to the topping.
  • Keto brown sugar. A sugar-free brown sugar alternative. If you don’t have any on hand, you can use allulose or monk fruit.
  • Egg. Room temperature egg.
  • Butter. Softened and unsalted butter. Dairy-free butter or coconut oil can also be used.
  • Heavy cream. Lightens the texture and balances the butter to prevent it from becoming dense or crumbly.

How to make keto blueberry cobbler

Step 1- Bake the fruit filling. In a large bowl, combine the fruit filling ingredients. Transfer to the greased baking dish and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Step 3- Add biscuit topping. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Using a cookie scoop, spoon portions of the biscuit topping over the top of the blueberry mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

My recipe tips

  • You’ll know when the cobbler is done when the biscuit is golden brown, and the filling is fork-tender and dark in color. 
  • Switch up the berries. As much as I love blueberry cobbler, you can use a variety of berries, like strawberries, raspberries, or mulberries, depending on what you have on hand. These all have a similar carb count.
  • Add toppings. Why stop with cobbler when you can add keto ice cream and keto whipped cream on top for the ultimate dessert?

    As I say often in response to your recipes, I’m 73 and have cooked for a long……time but your recipes are better than the best! Less sugar and “goop” must make for a brighter dish! I’ve told my grown daughters that you use magic!

  2. Hi Arman. I have a question. Can the biscuit recipe be adjusted for a more savory offering, such as chicken and biscuits?? If so, would you be willing to tell me how to do it.
