Last week I promised to give you a blueberry cobbler recipe, and I won’t keep you waiting any longer. I have to admit that I wasn’t sure it would be very good. I was unsure about the topping ingredients, and it seemed like a lot of bready topping for the amount of fruit. However, once we had it on our plates and started eating it, we found there was plenty of wet blueberry to go with the topping, and it was simply delicious. We loved the whole grain flavor of the sorghum and oats paired with the blueberries. Just thinking about it now makes me want to make another one.
Gluten-Free Blueberry Cobbler
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- 3 c. frozen blueberries (you could probably use fresh)
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 2 Tb. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 Tb. corn starch
Topping:
- 1/2 c. sorghum flour
- 1/2 c. potato starch
- 3/4 c. gluten-free oats (whirled in a food processor or blender if not instant)
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 6 Tb. butter
- 1 c. milk
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. sugar
Combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and corn starch in a sauce pan. Cook and stir over medium high heat until thickened. It will get runny as the blueberries warm up, then thicken as the cornstarch cooks. Pour this into the bottom of a 8 – 9 inch square baking dish.
Combine the sorghum flour, potato starch, oats, baking powder, salt and sugar in a medium bowl. Use a pastry blender, or your fingers, to cut the butter into the dry mixture until crumbly. Pour in the milk as you stir with a fork, just until moistened. Spoon the topping onto the blueberry mixture in the dish. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp. sugar over top.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes until the topping tests done with a toothpick. Let it cool until warm before serving.

This looks wonderful! I'll have to make it tomorrow night for dessert.
I made this tonight. I didn't whir my oats, but it turned out great. It is more cakelike than a traditional cobbler, but seriously addictive either way. I think I might like to increase the berry portion next time though….maybe use 4 cups instead of 3 cups and leave all else alone.
Fruit cobblers are always a favorite. I like the inclusion of oats.

Blueberry cobbler is the only kind I like… I can't wait to try it! Thanks!!
This looks delicious and easy to make too. Thanks for a great recipe.
My little one (the celiac of the family) loves blueberries. I will have to pick up sorghum flour to make this~it looks yum!
Love this! I will be trying it this week. I love cobblers!!
We’ve made this several times and substituted Earth Balance and almond milk to make it vegan. Amazingly delicious! It’s great with some coconut milk straight from the can drizzled on top!
Kristin, those are exactly the substitutes I would use to make it now. Thanks for letting me know that you enjoy the recipe.
