Oh friends, grab your coffee, tea and a few spoons. I'm sharing a Low Sugar Berry Cobbler with you today and I'm sure you're gonna love this one for summer gatherings! But first, let's chat a second about how to incorporate healthy treats into your diet.
My 14 Day Sugar Challenge ended last Sunday. Someone in the challenge said they couldn't get over the mental block of eating certain foods.
This was something I struggled with after losing 80 pounds and is very common chronic dieters. It's the lack of trust within yourself and feeling unsure about how your body will react to processed foods.
What I've learned is by labeling foods as good or bad or restricting them, you make them more attractive. I rarely crave sweets anymore. The reason I don't is because I follow a healthy diet with a lot of greens and lean protein daily. Those foods keep me full and keep my blood sugar stable.
The other reason I don't crave them is because I allow myself to have a treat whenever I want to. This makes me feel less like I want them. Make sense?
Low Sugar Berry Cobbler
Those two consistent practices have helped me avoid being a stressed out maniac on sugar.
In fact, when I made this easy blueberry crumbel, I had two bites and I was satisfied, put the rest in the refrigerator and happily walked away. For someone who used to be highly addicted to sugar and carbs this was huge!
Now about this cobbler! It's low sugar! I used coconut sugar as it has a lower glycemic index meaning it does not spike blood sugar the way other sugars do.
And frankly, you don't need a ton of sugar in a cobbler because the fruit has so much natural sweetness!

Gluten Free Berry Crisp
Equipment
- Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients
For the topping:
- 1 cup Gluten Free Oat Flour or regular oat flour
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk or milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil or any oil
- 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar or any sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
For the berries:
- 1 cup Strawberries sliced
- 1 cup Blueberries or any berries of choice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a 10 inch skillet, add the sliced strawberries, blueberries and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Then stir in the milk, oil and vanilla until it becomes thick.
- Top the thick flour over the berries. Using a spatula, spread the flour over the berries. It won't spread very smooth which is ok. It will spread more during baking.
- Bake at 375 F 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown. Cool 5 minutes before serving. It will be hot! Top with dairy free ice cream (I love So Delicious Coconut Ice Cream) for a yummy treat!

Sounds yummy, making it now, don't see where to add the Coconut sugar?
Thanks for letting me know. It should be added in step two.
How much tapioca do you use? I don't see it listed in the ingredients list. Thank you.
This recipe does not use tapioca, only gluten free flour. If you're looking for an almond flour/tapioca blend, this Paleo version has it. https://skinnyfitalicious.com/paleo-berry-cobbler-vegan/
Hi Morgan,
Can't wait to see how mine turns out! Just thought I'd let you know that tapioca is listed as an ingredient in step #2 which is confusing. Also, in the ingredient list you have oat flour but in the instructions you list almond flour.
Thanks for the catch it's been updated now!
Hi Megan!
Is it possible to change out the strawberries and blueberries with cherries? My tree has been very generous this year and so I have pitted and frozen several pounds! Thanks very much and thanks for the wonderful recipes!
Yes! I don't see why you couldn't swap them. The cobbler really works with anything. Enjoy!
YUM!! The topping sound so good!!
