Blackberry Cobbler
It’s finally summer and berries are all the rage right now! LOVE it. What’s your favorite? I’ll go with the bold guess that since you ended up here, you must have a soft spot for blackberries.
Am I right?
Well, I don’t know about you for sure… But I DO. I love em so much I’d eat them all day if it wasn’t for the fact that to do so, I’d probably have to get a second mortgage, sell my car or get three jobs.
Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating…
Just a bit.
BUT BOY! Are they expensive (fresh). At least here in Canada…
Fortunately, recipes like this one can be made with frozen berries. You will barely see the difference, I promise.
Joy. Just pure joy. I think it’s the most accurate word to describe my two-year-old’s facial expression at first bite. You could see, even at her young age, that she was enjoying the moment, quietly, just smiling.
Looking at her, I remembered eating that wild strawberry pie my grandmother had made when I was very young. I still vaguely remember the taste. If heaven had a taste, it was probably it…
Blackberries in this recipe can be replaced with the same amount of blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, peaches or any other fruit you think would make sense.
Feeling a bit creative? Just mix and match!
How I served it? Warm. With a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream of course! I mean… Isn’t it summer after all?
You can also go with thick cream or whipped cream, though the very first option is my personal favorite. (I won’t hold any grudge though, promise)
All of these topping options will make this dessert a bit less healthy, so you’ll be happy to hear that this blackberry cobbler is delicious without any additional topping.
For this recipe, I used a 9-inch cast-iron skillet, but a baking dish of roughly the same size is perfectly fine.
How to store it? You can leave it on the counter for 2-3 days, covered. But will it last that long?

You can find almond flour at Wholesome Yum. For good quality maple syrup, try Maple Lifestyle.
I doubt so.
Enjoy!
