A simple gluten free mixed berry cobbler recipe that can be made with fresh or frozen berries, and topped with a perfectly sweet and buttery topping. Serve with fresh ice cream for the ultimate dessert.
MIXED BERRY COBBLER
This cobbler is one of those desserts that every time I make I wonder why I don’t make it more. I love serving it in the summer time when we have friends over for dinner. And it has often been another dessert at Thanksgiving because it is a lot easier than an actual pie to make.
This cobbler can be made with any kind of berries that you like, but my favorite is to mix blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. But whichever you have on hand would work just great!
INGREDIENTS THAT YOU NEED
- Berries, fresh or frozen
- Instant Tapioca
- Sugar
- Lemon Juice
- Cinnamon
- Flour
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Eggs

HOW TO MAKE MIXED BERRY COBBLER
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 8×8 baking dish or pie plate with cooking spray.
- In a medium size bowl combine berries, tapioca, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon. Pour into prepared baking dish.
- In another medium bowl stir together all topping ingredients except the melted butter; flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and egg. Once combined sprinkle over prepared fruit mixture.
- Pour melted butter over the top.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until top is golden brown and fruit is bubbly.
- Serve warm with ice cream.
USING FRESH OR FROZEN BERRIES
This cobbler works great with either fresh or frozen berries. If using frozen, I like to put them in a bowl and thaw in the fridge for a few hours so they start to soften without getting totally mushy and soft.
MAKING THIS GLUTEN FREE
The only ingredient in this cobbler that would possibly contain gluten would be the flour, so just make sure that if you are needing it to be gluten free than you use a gluten free flour. Cup4Cup is my favorite Gluten Free flour that is easy to use as a substitute.
If you are looking for other fruit dessert recipes you should try my Strawberry Rhubarb Galette. It’s also a great and simple alternative to a pie.
