Old Fashioned Gluten-Free Blueberry Cobbler

This old-fashioned Gluten-Free Blueberry Cobbler is a classic cobbler made gluten-free! It is easy to make and is so good that no one will know that it is gluten-free.

The Story

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest picking berries all summer long. Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and more. Our summers were full of delicious berries, jams, pies, and cobblers.

My mom made all kinds of pies, cobblers, and crisps. Fruit desserts are still some of my favorites.

When I was trying to come up with a dessert to make for Father’s Day I knew it needed to involve fruit. I had a big bag of blueberries from our garden in the freezer that I wanted to use up. Blueberry Cobbler seemed like a great choice.

I have made quite a few gluten free cobblers over the years. Most have been fine, but I was looking for something new.

I went to work adapting a recipe for an old-fashioned cobbler that was in one of my cookbooks. I changed up the fruit to blueberries and the batter part to gluten-free.

The result ended up being the best gluten-free blueberry cobbler that I have made. My search for the best gluten-free blueberry cobbler is over. This will be a summer favorite for many years.

What is the difference between a blueberry crisp and a blueberry cobbler?

Crisp, cobblers, and buckles are often referred to as any fruit dessert with a topping or top crust.

Traditionally though a blueberry crisp has a crisp topping. It usually contains oatmeal like this gluten-free blueberry maple crisp or this gluten-free peach crisp recipe.

A blueberry cobbler usually has more of a biscuit, batter, or dough type of crust like this gluten free blueberry cobbler recipe.

How To Make Old Fashioned Gluten-Free Blueberry Cobbler

In a saucepan combine blueberries and 3/4 cup sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves and blueberries have softened. This takes about five minutes. Set aside.

Place butter in an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish. Place dish in preheated oven. Take dish out when butter has melted. This takes 3-4 minutes.

While butter is melting combine gluten-free flour blend, remaining 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and vanilla until combined.

Pour batter over melted butter.

Carefully spoon blueberries and any juice from blueberries over the batter.

Bake for 32-25 minutes or until crust is browned.

Serve warm old fashioned gluten free blueberry cobbler with ice cream or whipping cream if desired.

Can I make gluten-free cobbler ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this gluten-free blueberry cobbler ahead of time, but it is best warm right out of the oven. The taste and texture are just best the first day that you make it. It is even better served warm right out of the oven with ice cream or whipping cream on top. If there are any leftovers I usually reheat them for serving.
