What You’ll Love About This Recipe

Let’s be real: keto desserts often taste like sad compromises. Not this one. This almond flour blueberry cobbler is legitimately delicious—even your non-keto friends will swipe seconds. It’s ready in 20 minutes, uses pantry staples, and each serving packs just 5g net carbs.

Plus, that jammy filling and crispy topping? Pure comfort food without the carb coma. I’ve made this twice this week, and zero regrets—except maybe not doubling the batch.

Ingredients

Short on time? Grab four ramekins and let’s go.

Jammy Berry Filling

• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen—no thawing needed!)
• 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (this thickens without cornstarch!)
• 2 tbsp keto sweetener (I use erythritol—it mimics sugar perfectly)
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract (the good stuff—skip the imitation)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (bottled works, but fresh zests it up)

For the Cobbler

• 2/3 cup almond flour (superfine blends best)
• 2 tbsp butter, melted (salted adds a nice contrast)
• 2 tbsp keto sweetener
• 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep & Preheat: Crank your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease four ramekins—no fancy tricks here.

2. Mix the Filling: Dump the blueberries, xanthan gum, sweetener, and lemon juice into a bowl. Stir until the berries look like they’ve been dusted with snow. Divide this mix evenly into the ramekins.
   

3. Make the Cobbler Topping: In another bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and lemon juice. Mash it with a fork until it looks like wet sand. Sprinkle this over the berries like you’re decorating a tiny pastry snowscape.

4. Bake & Boom: Pop those ramekins in the oven for 15–18 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the topping turns golden and the blueberries are bubbly. Let it cool for 5 minutes—if you can resist.

Healthier Tweaks

Want to level up? Swap butter for coconut oil (it adds a subtle tropical vibe) or toss chia seeds into the filling for extra fiber. If almond flour’s not your thing, sunflower seed flour works—just know it’ll tint the topping slightly green (totally safe, slightly alien).

Serving Suggestions

• Top with keto vanilla ice cream (the melty contrast is chef’s kiss).
• Add a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream and a mint leaf for ~fancy vibes~.
• Pair with black coffee to balance the sweetness.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overmixing the topping: Crumbly = good. Doughy = gluey.
• Skipping xanthan gum: Your filling will be soupy. Trust the science.
• Baking too long: Set a timer! Burnt almond flour tastes bitter.

Storing Tips

• Fridge: Keep covered for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven (not microwave—it turns soggy).
• Freezer: Wrap ramekins in foil for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight before reheating.

Conclusion

This low carb blueberry cobbler is your ticket to guilt-free indulgence. Whether you’re keto-curious or a seasoned carb-counter, that almond flour crust and berry-packed center will make dessert feel decadent again. Whip it up, snap a pic (if you can wait), and thank me later.

FAQs

What is a keto crust?

A keto crust uses low-carb flours (like almond or coconut) instead of wheat. It’s buttery and crumbly—think shortbread, but without the carbs. This recipe’s almond flour version adds nutty flavor and keeps net carbs at just 5g per serving.

What can I use instead of sugar in a crumble?

Keto sweeteners like erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose work best. They caramelize like sugar but won’t spike your blood glucose. Avoid stevia for baking—it can taste bitter when heated.

What’s a keto-friendly crust thickener?

Xanthan gum is the MVP here. It thickens the blueberry juices without carbs. If you hate gums, try 1 tsp of ground chia seeds mixed with water—but the texture will be seedier.
