Have I ever got a yummy treat for all of you dessert lovers out there. Picture a mouthwateringly warm pear and blackberry cobbler made with real fresh ingredients that’s served warm fresh out of the oven. It is absolutely the perfect dessert to serve any dinner guests you have over or even to just enjoy all on your own. The topping is even made with a base of almond flour making it completely gluten-free as well. This recipe also adds a bit of honey and lemon juice in with the fruit as well, adding an even sweeter flavoring with just a hint of citrus.
Delicious Homemade Cobbler With All Natural Ingredients
There really is nothing quite like a homemade baked dessert that uses all natural ingredients. I just love baking paleo-friendly cakes, pies, and cobblers. Part of it comes from growing up enjoying Grandma’s baking. I disctintyly remember her making a mean peach cobbler. Unfortunately for me, especially while on a paleo diet, Grandma typically used ingredients that were decidedly not paleo-approved such as sugar, milk, and flour. However, this cobbler recipe definitely rivals anything that Grandma used to bake, and it all comes down to the use of all natural ingredients.
The Topping
For the topping, almond flour is combined with baking soda, eggs, coconut oil, and honey. Almond flour is a fantastic replacement for regular flour when it comes to baking, as it’s low carb and completely gluten-free. It’s high in monounsaturated fats, protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It’s extremely high in vitamin E in particular, which helps to lower your risk of developing heart disease. (1)
The Filling
This recipe combines pears and blackberries for its filling, and what a delicious combination it makes. They provide plenty of sweet flavoring to the cobbler while making sure it’s extremely good for you as well. The pears are an excellent source of vitamin C, as well as providing you with plenty of dietary fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. They’ve been shown to improve gut health and lower your risk of type 2 diabetes and stroke. (2) Blackberries are equally as nutritious as well. Just like other types of berries, they are packed with antioxidants that help your body fight off damage caused by free radicals. This helps prevent many types of disease, including cancer. (3)
Top It Off With…
The only thing better than a pear and blackberry cobbler is a pear and blackberry cobbler with paleo vanilla ice cream on top. If you haven’t made paleo ice cream yet, you’re missing out. It’s creamy, sweet and 100 percent all natural. It’s almost too good to be true, plus it goes with almost anything.
This wonderful dessert definitely has Grandma written all over it, but with a more health-conscious touch. It’s an absolutely wonderful cobbler recipe especially when made with fresh, organic pears and blackberries, but you are of course free to make your own preferred type of cobbler with other fruits as well. Peach cobbler and blueberry cobbler are two other favorites of mine, so combined, they work beautifully.
