Strawberry Cobbler (Gluten Free, Paleo + Vegan)

By Rachel Conners @bakeritablog

This Strawberry Cobbler recipe makes a small batch that’s perfect for sharing between a few people. This gluten-free, Paleo, and vegan dessert is made even better with some whipped coconut cream!

Since this Blackberry & Blueberry Cobbler and then this Peach Cobbler, I have gotten very, very into cobblers. The juicy, fruity filling that gets all bubbly and caramelized around the edges, topped off with a fluffy, crispy, and gooey cobbler topping – it’s all very exciting. 😍😍😍

The problem is, I love fruit cobblers a little too much, so I can’t make too big of a batch, or I’ll end the day with cobbler having replaced all my meals. Oops.

To help solve that problem, I shrunk down the size of this strawberry cobbler recipe to fit into my 5″ cast iron skillet. If you don’t have one, not to worry – use any small baking pan you have, OR a few small ramekins, OR double the recipe and put it in a 8×8″ baking pan.

But the pan or pan size doesn’t really matter – it’s all about the delicious strawberry cobbler contents.

The strawberries this time of year in Southern California are out of this world, so I barely used any sweetener in the strawberry filling – just a tablespoon of maple syrup. If strawberries aren’t in season, you can adjust the sweetener up to taste. A touch of lemon juice and vanilla extract for flavor and tapioca starch to thicken are the only other adornments to the sliced strawberries.

The cobbler topping has a good deal of baking powder, so it gets nice and fluffy, with a crisp golden brown topping and a gooier, cakey filling. Together with the strawberries, it’s pretty irresistible!

I topped my cobbler with whipped coconut cream, lightly sweetened with maple syrup and a bit of vanilla extract. It made the whole thing taste like strawberry shortcake, which means it was ridiculously delicious. A scoop of vanilla ice cream would also be a very welcome addition. Enjoy!
