Blueberry Delight with Almond Crumble Topping
This blueberry cobbler is a seasonal treat! It boasts luscious, ripe blueberries layered under a biscuit topping made from almond flour, which is soft on the inside and wonderfully crisp and rugged at the edges. I hope this recipe becomes one of your favorite summer desserts. It’s definitely a highlight in my collection.
This recipe represents the cobbler variation of my well-loved blueberry crisp. It draws inspiration from my peach cobbler recipe, which was arguably the most delectable dessert I created in my kitchen last summer. I’ve always enjoyed crafting fruity crisps, and now I’ve transitioned to cobblers. Please don’t make me pick a favorite!
The Ultimate Blueberry Cobbler is Gluten-Free
There, I’ve said it! I’m passionate about this almond flour topping and genuinely prefer it over classic cobblers made with regular flour. It’s easier to handle than all-purpose flour, and I adore its flavor.
The almond flour offers a delicate almond taste that enhances the blueberries. It remains naturally moist but develops a delightful golden crust and light crispness around the edges.
Give it a try, and I believe you’ll become a fan like me. Whether you require the recipe to be gluten-free or not, it’s a winner.
How to Prepare Blueberry Cobbler
You’ll find the complete recipe below. Here’s a quick look at the process and why it’s so effective:
1. Prepare the filling and bake it halfway: Combine the filling ingredients directly in your baking dish to avoid an extra bowl. Bake the filling for approximately 20 minutes while getting the topping ready.
2. Prepare the topping: To enhance the lemon flavor, mix the sugar and lemon zest in a small bowl, then rub the zest into the sugar with your fingers. Combine it with the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, and egg, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until thoroughly mixed. It may appear crumbly at first, but continue mixing until it forms a unified dough.
3. Spoon generous amounts of topping over the sizzling blueberry filling, and bake until the topping is lightly golden. Accompany your cobbler with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
With this straightforward two-step baking method, you’ll achieve a bubbly, concentrated blueberry filling topped with a perfectly golden crust. If you attempt to bake it all at once, the topping will brown too quickly before the filling is fully cooked.

Blueberry Cobbler with Almond Topping
This blueberry cobbler recipe features bubbling, jam-like blueberries under a perfectly golden crust. The topping consists of almond flour, which provides fantastic flavor and makes the recipe naturally gluten-free. Recipe makes about 9 reasonable servings.
Ingredients:
Blueberry filling
Almond flour topping
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. To make the filling: Rinse and drain the blueberries, then sift through them to remove any remaining stems. In a 9-inch square baking dish, mix the blueberries, maple syrup, starch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Stir until all powdered ingredients are blended into the mixture. Bake the filling for about 25 minutes until it’s bubbling around all edges.
2. In the meantime, prepare the topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk lightly until mixed, and set it aside.
3. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and lemon zest. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar (this extracts more flavor from the lemon). Pour the sugar into the other dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
4. In the smaller bowl, combine the melted butter, yogurt, and egg, and whisk until uniform. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix until well combined. Initially, it will appear crumbly, but continue stirring until it forms a cohesive dough.
5. Spoon one large dollop at a time over the hot filling, using the back of another spoon or your finger to help move each dollop. Evenly sprinkle the sugar over the dough.
6. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes until the filling is actively bubbling around the edges and the top is lightly golden. Allow the cobbler to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days—try them the next day with Greek yogurt for breakfast!

Chickpea Flour Fries (Panisses)
**Chickpea Fries? Absolutely!**
Panisses are a delightful snack famously found in the Provence region of France. Like traditional fries, they’re crispy and golden on the outside, but feature soft, fluffy interiors that remind me of rich polenta.
Nutritionally, they surpass ordinary fries, providing a robust source of protein, fiber, and monounsaturated fat. Just like French fries, they require ample salt to truly shine. I enjoy them paired with a creamy dipping sauce, such as my Creamy Basil Sauce.
Similar to its relatives, socca and farinata, panisses are created using a few basic ingredients: chickpea flour, water, olive oil, and salt and pepper. I dedicated considerable effort to this recipe and devised two distinct methods for preparing panisses—traditional pan-frying and baking. You’ll discover the complete guide and a brief instructional video below.
**How to Cook Panisses**
I’ve always delighted in ordering panisses at our go-to tapas restaurant here in Kansas City, and now we can whip them up anytime at home! It’s not overly complicated, but it does involve a few different steps and cooking techniques, so I’d recommend saving this endeavor for a weekend or a relaxed evening.
**Here’s a concise overview of the steps:**
1. In a saucepan, whisk together chickpea flour, salt and pepper, olive oil, and water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook for about 10 minutes.
2. Pour the mixture into an oiled square baking dish, spreading it evenly. Allow it to cool to room temperature, approximately 1 hour. *Timing tip:* You could mix the batter the day before and refrigerate it. Let it sit at room temperature before frying or baking.
3. Use a sharp knife to cut the panisses into fry-like shapes. You’re now set to fry or bake the panisses. Check the following section for specifics.
**Fried vs. Baked**
Both methods are included in the recipe below. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each so you can choose how to prepare your panisses.
**In France, panisses are fried in olive oil or vegetable oil,** or a mix of the two for a higher smoke point. Well-fried panisses are extra crispy and golden on the outside.
We accidentally triggered a smoke alarm when our olive oil overheated. Suffice it to say, the frying method can be temperamental and demands close attention. I suggest using avocado oil for this task, as it has a higher smoke point compared to extra-virgin olive oil.
**I favor baking panisses since I don’t have to hover over a hot stove.** I appreciate the crisp and more uniformly golden surfaces on the baked variety. It’s a more straightforward process, but it does take longer than frying.
To bake, you’ll brush them thoroughly with olive oil and bake until golden on one side. Then, flip them over and drizzle a touch more olive oil along the length of each piece before returning them to the oven.
In my trials, I discovered that drizzling the oil produced a more irresistibly crispy, fried-like texture than brushing them again.
**Sauce Recommendations**
**Panisses are best enjoyed with a creamy dipping sauce.** While I’m not always a fan of mayo, a smooth mayo-based sauce is fantastic here!
Create your own delicious sauce by mixing a bit of pesto, romesco, or harissa into mayonnaise, or opt for one of these:
**Storage Advice**
Panisses are best eaten hot, but they can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. For future snacking, you can freeze them for up to 6 months. I simply reheated mine in the microwave.
**How to Serve Panisses**
In France, warm panisses are often enjoyed with a refreshing glass of rosé. Serve panisses alongside your favorite salad for a light meal, or as part of a larger spread or mezze platter. Here are some Mediterranean-style recipes on Cookie and Kate that would pair well with the panisses:

Ready in merely 15 minutes, this dish serves perfectly as either a salad or an appetizer.
**Serving Ideas**
This peach salad beautifully complements fresh summer dishes and pairs well with grilled entrees. Think about serving it with veggie burgers, grilled pizzas, pesto pasta, or charred corn. A chilled glass of white wine or rosé would make a wonderful match.
**Recipe: Peach and Burrata Salad**
*Ingredients:*
– Peaches

3. Serve with crostini or crusty bread. Best enjoyed on the day of preparation, though leftovers can be stored in the fridge for several days.
**Notes:**
– Switch it up by using sliced fresh mozzarella or smaller mozzarella balls if burrata is not available.
