Hello summer!

My kids are finally(!) out of school for the summer and our calendars are quickly filling up with all the stuff we want to do… the pool is calling my name!

Getting any work done with my kids home is darn near impossible unless I put an iPad in their face, lol. I’m torn between wanting to make 100 new summer recipes and also wanting to savor this time with my kids.

But when you have EASY recipes like this one, you don’t have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen prepping, cooking, cleaning, or waiting.

That’s good news for me because I don’t want to miss out on summer with my kiddos. Yay for simple, quick recipes and bonus, one the whole family loves 🙂

Easy as pie!

I am in LOVE with how easy this cobbler is to make! I don’t know where the phrase “easy as pie” came from, but traditional pies are NOT easy. Getting the crust right takes a lot of effort.

But with THIS one, you literally just mix up the ingredients and throw them on top. It’s like an upside down pie — without the hassle!  

Confession: this was my very *first* time to make cobbler. After seeing a recipe video on facebook recently it inspired me to make my own “pretty pie” version without using any flour, butter, sugar or eggs!

Challenge accepted. And challenge conquered! 🙂  I’m so happy with how it turned out. My hubby went NUTS for this one so I know the recipe’s a keeper, haha.

The Crumble

Omg. The topping is probably my favorite part. I actually ended up using a variation of my favorite pie crust recipes as the topping and it did not disappoint.

Buttery, flaky and mildly sweet. It’s SO good. It’s actually pretty healthy, too!

• Grain-free & Gluten-free
• Dairy-free
• Refined-sugar free (+ a low-carb option)
• Healthy fats from coconut oil
• Protein and fiber-rich from the almond flour and flaxseed

MMMmmm’s were heard all around the table when I served this to my family. I’m adding this recipe to my list of family favorites and MUST MAKE AGAIN collection.

Berry-licious Tips

I love berries more than any other fruit. Aren’t they so incredible? I’m learning to love them *cooked* now (which is new for me since I’ve had an aversion for almost 33 years lol)! Cooking them intensifies the flavor and brings out the juices in a CRAZY GOOD way.

For the best tasting cobbler, follow these tips for the blueberry filling:

1. TIP 1: Add LEMON. A little lemon juice and zest also enhances the flavor while balancing out the sweetness.
2. TIP 2: Use berries that are SWEET for the very best outcome! Taste them beforehand. If they’re tart, I recommend adding a little bit of sweetener with your berries. A couple teaspoons of coconut sugar (or your preferred dry sweetener) should do the trick.
3. TIP 3: Thicken up! Adding a Tbs of starch helps to create a thicker blueberry sauce underneath. I used tapioca starch, but I think arrowroot would also work.

A la Mode!

You’ve gotta add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of your blueberry cobbler! The combination of the ultra creamy frozen deliciousness on a bed of warm crumbles and juicy soft berries is TO DIE FOR.

I used my homemade 4-ingredient dairy-free ice cream recipe. So easy to make and it’s low carb! I love it and I think you will too!

Who’s ready to ENJOY their summer with this classic cobbler? 🙂

I used a Pyrex 8x6" glass baking dish (found here: here on Amazon)  If you use a large pan, such as11x14, double the recipe 🙂
