This Vegan Blueberry Cobbler isn't a flashy type of dish at all. It's simply a dessert with a biscuity-like crust, baked with not too sweet berries. Serve it with a scoop of coconut vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream.
8 or 9-inch (20 or 23 cm) square baking dish or rectangular 8 x 10 inches (20 x 25 cm) at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep.
Ingredients
For the cobbler's biscuit dough:
1⅓cupswhole wheat flour or unbleached all-purpose white flour
3tablespoonscoconut palm sugardivided
1½teaspoonsbaking powder
½cupplant-based milkalmond, oat milk, or soy
1 to 2tablespoonsvegan buttermelted, to brush the top of the pastry
For the fruit filling:
4 to 5cupsblueberriesfresh or frozen
½cupcoconut palm sugar
2tablespoonswhole wheat flour or unbleached all-purpose white flour
1teaspoonlemon zestor lime zest (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 ° F (190 ° C).
To make the cobbler dough, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons of coconut palm sugar, baking powder, flour, and salt. When thoroughly combined, add the vegan butter and plant-based milk. Stir until the mixture is just a sticky dough. Put aside.
To make the filling, wash the blueberries and pat them dry. In a large bowl, combine them with the sugar, flour, and lemon zest, if using. Spread evenly throughout the baking dish.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and place it on the fruit. There will be just enough to cover them. Either leave the dough in misshapen pieces on the fruit or spread them.
Brush the top of the dough with the remaining tablespoon(s) of plant-based milk or butter and the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
Cook until the top is golden brown and juices have thickened slightly about 40 to 45 minutes.
Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
Placed in an airtight container, this vegan blueberry cobbler will keep for up to 3-4 days. (The texture of the filling may change.)
Notes
Allow the cobbler to cool, so the inside thickens.To have a flakier dough, the butter should be cold and cut until the dough looks like coarse breadcrumbs.
