Oh, the joy of sinking your teeth into a warm, gooey dessert! This keto blueberry cobbler is like a hug from your favorite sweater on a crisp autumn day. Bursting with juicy berries and a hint of nostalgia, it’s a treat you’ll savor again and again.
Steps
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the blueberries, xanthan gum, sweetener, and lemon juice until all the blueberries are evenly coated.
- Transfer the blueberry mixture to a 9 x 9 inch baking pan or divide it into smaller ramekins if desired.
- Melt the butter in the microwave using a coffee mug or small bowl. Combine the melted butter with almond flour, sweetener, and lemon zest to form a crumbly dough.
- Break the dough into small clumps using your hands and scatter them over the blueberries, ensuring both small and larger pieces.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the cobbler for about 22 minutes if using a large pan, or 16-18 minutes for smaller ramekins, until the crust is golden and the blueberries are bubbling. You can enjoy it warm or cold.
