Cobbler is my favorite dessert of all time. Not just any cobbler though. It’s gotta be blueberry and it’s gotta be Texas style. Most cobblers are made by dropping biscuit dough on top of a slurry of sweetened fruit. Also delicious. But Texas style cobblers are a different beast. A buttery, sweet, delicious beast. Texas style cobblers are made by pouring a thick pancake-like batter into a generously buttered pan and then topping with the fruit of your choosing.
My grandmother’s recipe for blueberry cobbler is legendary in my family. It’s a staple at family parties, especially summertime barbeques. After a bit of trial and error, I’ve transformed this gem of a recipe to be completely paleo! YES. It is just as delicious. Buttery, sweet, and fluffy with crispy edges that are to die for. This paleo blueberry cobbler is literally everything.
Did I mention that it only takes 5 minutes of prep time? Yep. It’s super easy to make and you don’t need any fancy equipment. Just a bowl, a whisk, and a glass baking pan.
One last note, while this recipe is paleo and gluten-free, it’s still a dessert and not something I would call “healthy”. This cobbler is definitely a treat. I mean, look at how much butter it calls for. Not a health food. Not even close. But that’s why it’s so great. Just thought I’d throw that out there as a disclaimer.
If you would like to make a lower carb version of this recipe, try substituting Lakanto maple-flavored monk fruit syrup for the maple syrup. It has a little bit thinner consistency, but it tastes great!
I hope you enjoy the recipe! 🙂

Hi I’m going to try your cobbler recipe but Arrowroot is not a common ingredient in Australia. Can I replace or leave out? What is it’s purpose? Thanks Kit
Hi! I would recommend trying potato starch or a gluten free 1:1 flour. I haven’t tried them though so I can’t guarantee it will turn out! I have tried with tapioca starch and would not recommend that as it turns out gummy. I hope you enjoy it!
We had company over who didn’t eat any grains. I made this and it was delicious! Served it with coconut milk whipped topping.
So happy you enjoyed the recipe!! 🙂
Do you use fresh or frozen blueberries
Hi, Megan! Fresh blueberries for this recipe. I’m afraid frozen blueberries would give you a big mess, but I haven’t tried it!
It kind of works with frozen, that’s all I had so I tried it, the batter didn’t come to the top so it looked more like blueberry upside down cake! Totally tasty though! Thanks for posting!
Out of curiosity, did you add them frozen or thawed? So glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Everyone LOVES this dessert, particularly paired with home made Paleo vanilla ice cream!
Hi, Sandy! So glad y’all enjoyed the recipe so much! Thanks for the fabulous review! 🙂
I’m new to your site and wanted to let you know I made the blueberry cobbler last night and it was a hit, even for the hubby! I loved the option of melting the butter in the oven while it preheated as it created a browned butter taste. Unfortunately I didn’t have coconut milk so I made it with another nut milk and added a little sugar to the blueberries prior to adding to the cobbler. Fabulous! This is a make again, thank you!
Hi, Angie! I’m so glad you liked the recipe!! And good to know that it also worked with nut milk. My grandmother’s original recipe actually calls for mixing the blueberries with sugar, so I’m sure it was delicious that way! Thanks so much for your review! 🙂
Do you know if coconut oil would work in place of the butter?
Hi, Kim! I think coconut oil would be great in place of the butter! I would add a little pinch of salt to the melted coconut oil though. If you would like, you can even reduce the amount to 1/4 cup if you want a lower calorie dessert. It won’t taste quite as rich, but it’s always an option ☺️
Do you have nutrition facts for this?
Hi, Jackie! I do not usually calculate the nutrition facts for my recipes. It is something I may do in the future as my blog grows, but for now it takes too much extra time. BUT, you can easily figure it out using MyFitnessPal. Just go to the “Meals, Recipes, and Foods” section and click on create a recipe. You can import the ingredients manually or just copy and paste the URL of this recipe into the “Add from the Web” option. Hope this helps!
This was delicious! I’ve made it twice now and it comes out perfect each time. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
I tried leaving 5 stars but it would only stay on 4 stars. Not sure why. But it’s working now so I’m putting in 5 stars.
Thanks for the review! 😃
Awww yay! So glad you like the recipe! This is definitely my favorite! ☺️
My husband loves this recipe. He told me to keep making it as a Paleo friendly dessert staple. Thanks so much for sharing it!
Hi, Betty! So glad you both enjoy the recipe so much! It’s my all-time favorite dessert! You’re very welcome 🙂
