Ingredients

¾ cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour (spooned and leveled)

2½ tablespoons cane sugar

1¼ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon lemon zest

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup full-fat coconut milk

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (freeze for 1 hour, grate on large holes of a box grater, plus more melted butter for brushing)

Coarse sugar or additional cane sugar (for sprinkling)

2 pints (4 cups) fresh blueberries

2 tablespoons cane sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.

Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Form a well in the center and add the coconut milk and grated butter. Use a spatula to fold and form the mixture into a cohesive ball of dough.

Step 3: Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll it out into a ½-inch-thick circle. Use a 2¼-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out 9 to 11 biscuits, rerolling the scraps and dusting the surface with more flour as necessary. Transfer the biscuits to a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet and refrigerate while you make the filling.

Step 4: Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla and toss until the fruit is well coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and arrange the biscuits evenly on top. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Step 5: Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Step 6: Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with vegan butter and use coconut cream instead of full-fat coconut milk.

Feel free to swap blueberries with mixed berries or peaches for a different fruity twist.

Chilling the grated butter helps create fluffier biscuits by keeping the dough cold until baking.

Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for warm spice notes.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries for this cobbler?

Yes, frozen blueberries can be used. Thaw them and drain any excess liquid before combining with the other filling ingredients to prevent a watery cobbler.

How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?

The cobbler is done when the fruit is bubbling around the edges and the biscuits are golden brown on top. You can also insert a toothpick into a biscuit – it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
