Would you just look at those juicy, delicious blueberries that would be over this buttery topping? I can hardly believe that decadent little treat is low-carb. Me neither, but I did it. I took the recipe and did all my calculations. Yeah. yeah. it is low-carb, keto friendly, and perfect for a summer night!

I know I just posted a Keto Berry Crisp recipe, and now here I am with another berry-filled treat! It’s a little bit similar—more fresh berries and another yummy topping—but since berries are in season, I couldn’t resist posting this one too. Honestly, you need both of these recipes, and you need them now!

Though I’m not very big fan of simple blueberries, oh my, bake them into something sweet. I could totally just devour the whole thing if nobody was paying attention. The way that blueberries get all sweet and juicy as they burst and thicken while baking is just something I love.

Of course, that buttery topping is the big bonus. It is so simple to make and gives the perfect biscuit-like crust. In my opinion, total perfection for desserts!

Filling Ingredients:

Blueberries: We only tested this recipe with fresh blueberries. Frozen should probably work, but I haven’t tried them myself.

Sweetener: Lakanto is my favorite product. It bakes beautifully and tastes like sugar. It has no impact on blood glucose, so it counts as ZERO net carbs.

Xanthan Gum: These blueberries are pretty juicy and watery when they’re cooking. I’m using some low carb, gluten free thickening agent called xanthan gum to prevent the cobbler from getting too soupy. You need just a teensy bit of this stuff, but trust me, it makes a difference!

Topping Ingredients:

Almond Flour: This ingredient is rich and buttery yet low carbohydrate. Baking with almond flour is my favorite.

Coconut Flour: As for the coconut flour, it serves the purpose of adding texture by absorbing the moisture, which is what this topping needs.

I have not attempted this recipe with all almond flour or all coconut flour. Either one would require some changes as both behave differently.

Brown Sweetener: Our favorite sweetener Lakanto Brown Sugar Replacement. It is all natural, sweetened with monkfruit and erythritol and it does not raise blood sugar.

Baking Powder & Salt

Wet ingredients

As you can see, instead of dry ingredients for deep bake, you will also add some sour cream, egg, almond milk, and melted butter as well. These ingredients are going to help bind the keto cobbler dough and prevent it from becoming too dry.

Why We Love This Recipe:

The filling and topping mix together by hand in seconds. How easy is that?!

As a bonus, this is one of those desserts that’s already naturally pretty sweet, so you can add sweetener to taste-helps avoid any aftertaste that some people have with low-carb sweeteners!

It’s beautiful with a large dollop of your favorite sugar-free vanilla, but it’s just as fabulous on its own or drizzled with a little heavy cream.

How To Make Keto Blueberry Cobbler:

Blueberry Filling: Start by washing the blueberries and pat them dry. Add them to a bowl. Pour in your sweetener and xanthan gum, then gently stir to coat. Pour into a 9×9 baking dish.

Topping: In a bowl with a fork or spoon, mix together all the topping ingredients till well combined. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to thicken up; then spoonfuls of the dough drop over the top of the berries.

Bake: Pop that into a hot oven and bake for about 30 minutes. The biscuit topping should be turning golden at the edges and the berries thick and bubbly.

Serve: Let it cool for at least 20 minutes prior to serving, although it’s best served warm. It is even better if you top it off with some of my homemade keto whipped cream or try it with a big scoop of low-carb vanilla ice cream!

Helpful tip!

Add sweetener but just a little at first. Taste your blueberries. If they’re already quite sweet  there is probably no need for as much sweetener. You may not need all of it.

Carb Count:

This keto blueberry cobbler has 8 net carbs per serving, which is quite a bit more than you might want a keto dessert to have. It IS on the high side, though, because blueberries just are very high in natural sugars and carbs.

We kept all else in the dessert as low carb as possible to make up for that, but at the end of the day, this has a higher carb count than most (all?) of our other keto desserts.

We feel it’s worth the carb count on days when we planned ahead and stayed away from other excess carbs.

FAQ’s:

Does blueberry cobbler need to be refrigerated?

Yes! Leftovers should be refrigerated, covered for 3 to 4 days after baking.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

We haven’t tested this recipe using frozen but thawed frozen blueberries would probably work well.

What is cobbler?

A cobbler is basically any baked dish with a fruit filling topped with a crumbly or biscuit-like topping!
