Healthy Blackberry Cobbler

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F and place your coconut butter in the fridge to chill if you have not done so already. Add the berries, lemon juice, coconut sugar, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of water to a 8” (23-cm) oven-safe skillet (I used cast iron) and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Simmer the berries for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then turn the heat off. Add additional coconut sugar to taste, if necessary.

Step 2

While the berries cook, prepare the cobbler topping. Add the oats, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to a medium bowl and whisk together. Add the chilled coconut butter (or oil) to the bowl and use two knives to “cut” it into the dough, until fine “crumbs” of butter are evenly distributed throughout. Add the milk to the bowl and stir until just combined. Allow the batter to sit for at least 5 minutes, to allow the oat flour to absorb some liquid and thicken.

Step 3

Use a large spoon to dollop 2 to 3 sized tablespoons of the cobbler batter onto the berries. Place the skillet into the middle rack of the oven and bake for 23 to 25 minutes, until the top of the cobbler turns golden brown.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving as desired. Leftovers will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days.
