Gluten-Free Cherry-Berry Biscuit Cobbler

Summertime means tons of berries and the classic fruit cobbler. Remember the taste of that first juicy spoonful of just-sweet-enough fruit topped with a flaky, golden biscuit? This gluten-free version is exactly that — and it’s a cinch to make. 

Plus, this recipe is super-flexible, which means you can throw in about 7 cups of fruit you already have on hand. Go ahead and swap in coconut or maple sugar, or leave sugar out altogether in the fruit mixture. I’ve added coconut oil for a healthy spin, but you can use your favorite healthy oil or even melted butter!

Cherry-Berry Biscuit Cobbler
Serves: 8
Prep: 20 minutes
Bake: 35 minutes

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons Gluten-Free Flour Blend (below)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup coconut milk stirred together with 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup unflavored coconut oil, liquefied
1 1/2 pounds (about 6 cups) mixed berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries (quartered)
1 cup cherries, pitted
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and grease a 9-inch pie plate. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar and the baking powder. Mix in the coconut milk mixture and coconut oil until just combined.

In another medium bowl, toss together the berries, cherries, remaining 2 tablespoons flour and 2 tablespoons sugar.

Spoon the fruit into the prepared dish and dollop the dough over the fruit in 8 spoonfuls; sprinkle with sugar. Bake until the juices are bubbling and the biscuits are golden, about 35 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
