    Ingredients for Vegan Blueberry Cobbler and Substitution options

    • Loads of fresh blueberries, lemon or lime zest, lemon juice and a bit of sugar or sweeter are mixed for the berry layer. You can use a mix of berries or other berries such as blackberries in this cobbler.
    • For variation in flavor, use orange zest and juice or other citrus flavors.
    • The biscuit topping has flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, sugar/sweetener, some nutmeg for flavor and coconut milk for the fat and moisture.
    • Almond flour adds a crisp flaky texture to the topping. You can omit it for nutfree and use 3 tbsp more flour instead.
    • nutmeg adds a subtle flavor to the topping which goes well with the lemony berries. Omit it or use other spices(cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice) for variation.
    • Coconut milk: Half coconut cream and half milky/watery portion from a can of coconut milk helps make these biscuits flaky without adding any butter. If avoiding coconut milk, use alternate non dairy milk such as almond or soy and add 1-2 tbsp oil or vegan butter.
    •  Gluten-free: Use any glutenfree blend of choice or use this following mix: Mix 1/3 cup white rice flour/oat flour, 1/2 cup almond flour, 3 tbsp potato starch or a mix of tapioca and potato. Use 1  cup of the flour mix (skip the additional almond flour used with regular flour), and add more as needed.

      This recipe is amazing. I could probably eat the entire thing in one sitting. I substituted half of the sugar with splenda and it tasted really good. Mine had a pretty strong coconut flavor from the coconut milk. It was good but next time I might try substituting with soymilk or soymilk “buttermilk” (adding some extra acid to the soymilk) and see how that turns out! I’ll definitely be remaking this in the near future. I love that this recipe is free of added oils, you definitely don’t miss it!

      Made it for the family last night and they loved it. We paired it with a non-dairy ice cream (which the family did not wind up liking) as they felt it took away from how delightful this cobbler was! I loved how simple and quick it was to make, yet didn’t compromise in flavor!

      I have added this recipe to my keepers! Thank you!!!!

      This cobbler turned out incredible! Made it for work one day and everyone raved about it. They all went back for seconds. I decided to make a single batch with peaches today using this recipe. I didn’t have any lemons/limes so I substituted a little bit of diluted ACV. Surprisingly it worked out fantastic!

      Really tasty! Used the vegan butter method and only added about 1 TBSP. Tasted even better with some vegan vanilla ice cream.

      Just a heads up that your teeth will turn blue after eating it (or at least ours did) :0

      This recipe is so very delicious that DH wants a large piece daily. I changed it just a bit for our tastes
      First I have yo door left the recipe and make it every third day (for 2 people). I cut both sugar suggestions in half and use 1/2 plus of the suggested amount of milk

      Made it tonight and it was so so good! Didn’t have coconut milk on hand so used almond milk and 2 Tbsp vegan butter as suggested. Turned out delicious! Topped it with coconut whip and a few fresh strawberries for color.

        Yes use some oil/butter and mix in the dry, then add cold non dairy milk or cold water to make a muffin like mix and use. People often ask me for refined oil free, so these new recipes use coconut for the fat. I dont particularly use coconut milk often, the recipes using it might be co-incidentally appearing together on the blog.

          Sorry to be less specific than would have been helpful. Coconut in almost every vegan product. When it appears in recipes, the reason for inclusion is usually not clear. That makes it more difficult to decide whether to try to substitute. Generalized exasperation about coconut and thanks that you provided direction for substitution.
