Keto Blueberry Cobbler Recipe (Xanthan Gum Free)

Cobbler stands out as a simple dessert that is quick to prepare and tastes amazing. Served with a scoop of sugar-free ice cream, it makes a wonderful dessert. This recipe is low carb, refined-sugar-free, gluten-free, and keto-friendly.

Cobblers are often overlooked on dessert menus, but few would refuse a bowl if offered. Traditional cobblers often contain a lot of sugar in the berries and a flour-based topping, making them a high-carb choice.

This recipe transforms the traditional dessert into a low-carb treat. The berries and sweetener thicken nicely, and the cake topping has a soft texture that complements the dish.

Why Blueberries?

Blueberries can be included in moderation on a low-carb diet, and even a keto diet, if they fit within your daily macros. Although blueberries are usually listed near the bottom of low-carb food lists, their health benefits are significant. Many people would choose half a cup of blueberries over a slice of bread. This recipe uses a moderate amount of blueberries, making it a low-carb rather than a strict keto dessert. Keto dieters can substitute half of the blueberries with blackberries to reduce the net carb count by about ten for the entire recipe.

Sweetener Options

For the berries, granular allulose is recommended. Allulose creates a sticky, gooey texture. Alternatively, monk fruit, erythritol, xylitol, Swerve, or any powdered sweetener can be used. These alternatives may not thicken as much as allulose, but they will still work. Any sweetener can be used for the cobbler batter. A powdered erythritol monk fruit blend works well.

Tips for the Best Cobbler

• Rinse blueberries under cold water and remove any stems or unripe berries.
• Squeeze the juice from one-half lemon into the berries.
• Mix xanthan gum into the allulose and sprinkle over the berries, spreading evenly.

Baking Tips

Low-carb and gluten-free baking differ from traditional baking. Here are some tips to ensure the best results:

• Whip air into the eggs before adding other ingredients to lighten the cake batter.
• Sift all dry ingredients to remove lumps and add air to the batter.

A cast-iron pan is recommended, but a 9-inch pie tin or cake round can also be used.

Serving and Storing

This low-carb blueberry cobbler is best served warm with fresh whipped cream or sugar-free vanilla ice cream. It can be reheated in the microwave, but it tastes best when fresh from the oven.

The cobblers can be made ahead and frozen. Bake the frozen cobblers in the oven with a sheet of tinfoil for an extra 10-15 minutes, removing the foil for the last 10 minutes to brown the top. Freezing is a great way to use extra blueberries.

7. Melt the butter in the microwave until soft but not too hot.

Variations and Additions

• Add cinnamon, ginger, allspice, or cardamom to the topping for extra flavor.
• Replace half the blueberries with blackberries to reduce carbs.
• Use any low-carb sweetener you prefer.
• Serve with a dollop of yogurt, sugar-free whipped cream, or keto vanilla ice cream.

Why Xanthan Gum is Usually Added

Xanthan gum is often added to the berries to help thicken the juices. Without xanthan gum, the berries can be very liquidy. It is also added to the cake topping to help bind everything together. Without gluten, something is needed to help the batter stay together. Without xanthan gum, the finished cake topping will be very soft without a lot of texture.

Alternative Berries

You could use any fruit you like in this low carb cobbler, even frozen fruit would be fine if you don't have fresh. You can also replace the blueberries with strawberries to reduce carbs. Low carb fruits that would make a nice cobbler would be peaches, nectarines, and plums.
