Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Fork or pastry cutter
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients
  

For the Blackberry Filling:

  • 5 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar-free sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Almond Flour Topping:

  • 2 cups fine almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar-free sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oven

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Make the Blackberry Filling

  • In a large bowl, gently toss the blackberries with the sugar-free sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and cinnamon until evenly coated.

Add the Filling to the Dish

  • Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

Mix the Dry Topping Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sugar-free sweetener, baking powder, and salt.

Add the Wet Ingredients

  • Add the melted butter, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick, scoopable batter forms.

Top the Cobbler

  • Drop spoonfuls of the almond flour topping evenly over the blackberry filling. It does not need to completely cover the fruit.

Bake

  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the blackberry filling is bubbling and the topping is lightly golden and set.

Cool and Serve

  • Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving so the filling can thicken. Serve warm on its own or with sugar-free whipped cream.

Notes

  • Choose a Sweetener You Like: Monk fruit, erythritol blends, or allulose can work, but sweetness and browning may vary.
  • Fresh or Frozen Berries: Frozen blackberries work well without thawing, though they may need a few extra minutes of baking.
  • Almond Flour Texture: Use fine blanched almond flour rather than almond meal for a softer, more tender cobbler topping.
  • Lower-Carb Option: For fewer carbs, replace the cornstarch with a small amount of xanthan gum or another low-carb thickener.
  • Storage: Refrigerate cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days and reheat gently before serving.
