Sweet cherries with a light and simple gluten-free and grain-free topping. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and dig in!

I was recently looking through my blog posts and realized I never published this recipe. Back a few days before I had my baby on memorial day weekend, I created this recipe and photographed it, but I didn't get around to posting the recipe before he came. We were just heading into peak berry season and I was craving a fruity dessert.

When I came across this post, I thought, "Oh no, should I wait until next summer to share it?". The thing is though that you can make cobbler all year 'round these days with frozen or preserved fruit.

So I'm sharing a gluten free cherry cobbler recipe in November. Hope you don't mind.

At the time, I was thinking about my sourdough peach cobbler recipe as it has become a popular recipe on my blog. We haven't been doing as much sourdough after realizing my daughter can't even properly digest long fermented sourdough and has to be completely gluten free. So I began searching for just the right gluten free topping for cobbler.

Which Cherries to Pick

For this recipe, I use either fresh or frozen sweet cherries. Make sure they are pitted before you start baking! If you want to use sour cherries, then make sure to add a little more honey to the filling. I don't recommend canned cherry pie filling because you won't get the same taste.

It's important to allow the filling to simmer long enough to thicken. You can also add arrowroot starch a little bit at a time while stirring if you need it to thicken more.

What You Will Need

Gluten Free Topping

1 ⅓ cup almond flour

1 ½ tbsp coconut flour

3 tbsp arrowroot powder

⅓ tbsp baking powder

1 ½ tbsp butter softened

⅓ cup whole milk

1 egg

¼ cup raw honey

Cherry Filling

4 cups cherries pitted

1 tbsp lemon juice

½ cup raw honey

How To Make Gluten Free Cherry Cobbler

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a food processor, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and arrowroot powder.

Next, add in the milk, butter, honey, and egg. Blend until thoroughly combined.

In a dutch oven or pot on medium heat, stir together the cherries, honey, and lemon juice. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes or until it starts to thicken.

Pour the cherry filling into a pie dish and then spoon the gluten free batter on top. You can use a baking spatula to lightly spread it.

Bake the cobbler for 25-35 minutes.

Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy with homemade ice cream!
