Looking for a flavorful crowd-pleasing dessert to share with your people during berry season??
THIS!
While this gluten-free strawberry cobbler recipe is dairy-free, it tastes utterly buttery with the most amazing crispy biscuit topping. Perfectly sweet, tangy, berry-centric bliss, this recipe is CRAZY easy to prepare.
My favorite part about this dessert is the cobbler (biscuit) topping is no-fuss.
Thereโs no need to knead, cut in butter, or have any sort of baking experience, as you simply stir the ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
…And the same for the strawberry filling!
Letโs do a deep dive!
Ingredients for Strawberry Cobbler:
Gluten-Free Flour Blend: In order to keep this cobbler gluten-free, use your favorite gluten-free flour blend. The blend you use needs to be a 1:1 replacement for regular all-purpose flour. Donโt use a grain-free flour, as the recipe will need to be different to accommodate a grain-free flour.
Coconut Oil: Gives buttery flavor to the cobbler topping while keeping it dairy-free! Coconut oil has magnificent flavor and creates a lovely topping for crisps, crumbles, and cobblers.
Pure Maple Syrup: Used for sweetening both the cobbler topping and the strawberry filling, pure maple syrup is a great ingredient for keeping treats refined sugar-free.
Fresh Strawberries: The star of the show! Fresh, vibrant ripe strawberries are what make this whole dessert sing.
Vanilla Extract: Optional, but recommended for the topping. It adds a nice warmth to the cobbler biscuits for delicious buttery flavor.
Sea Salt: Use it both in the filling and in the cobbler topping! Sea salt brings out an amazing amount of flavor in baked goods and helps them taste even sweeter without having to add more sweetener!
Baking Soda: Makes the topping nice and crispy.
What Type of Flour Should I Use?:
I use Bobโs Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour. If you use a different gluten-free flour blend, note that the cobbler topping may turn out differently. You want the topping to form a thick, greasy dough.
Youโll also use a couple tablespoons of gluten-free flour for the strawberry filling in order to make it nice and thick and give it that gooey goodness! Donโt skip it in the filling, as the flour is what makes this cobbler pie-like.
How to Make Vegan Strawberry Cobbler:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Add all ingredients for the cobbler topping to a mixing bowl and stir to combine. A thick, greasy dough should form. The greasiness is normal!
Toss together the ingredients for the strawberry filling in a mixing bowl until well-combined.
Transfer the strawberry filling mixture to an oven-safe dish (I use a 10-inch cast iron skillet. You can also use an 8โ x 8โ or 9โ x 9โ baking pan).
Top the strawberry filling using the cobbler dough. You can form biscuit shapes if youโd like, or simply spread the topping all over.
Bake in the preheated oven 30 to 40 minutes, until the topping is golden-brown and crispy.
Serve with your choice of dairy-free ice cream or coconut whipped cream and enjoy!
Recipe Adaptations:
- Turn this into a mixed berry cobbler using 2 cups strawberries, 1 cup blueberries, and 1 cup raspberries.
- Add rolled oats to the topping. To do so, use 3/4 cup of gluten-free flour and 1/2 cup of rolled oats.

Such a great recipe! Plan to try cooking this with my family for thanksgiving!
That’s so great to hear! I love making this cobbler for family gatherings too…can’t go wrong with a fruit-infused option! ๐
Can I use butter instead of coconut oil?
Absolutely! The cobbler will be delicious with butter ๐
Hi! I made this recipe and my whole family loved it! I have so many allergies and itโs hard to find joy in food. This made me very happy. I was wondering if this reheats in the oven well? Iโd like to make one to take to a party! Any suggestions on how to successfully serve it after already making it? Iโm wondering if the crust will get too soggy by the time I need it ready.
Could you replace the maple syrup with raw organic honey?
Absolutely! The one caveat is that honey burns at a lower temperature than pure maple syrup, so I’d keep a close eye on the biscuits to be sure they aren’t getting too brown ๐ Hope you enjoy!
This was so good and simple. Great recipe for my son with food allergies.Thank you!
I’m so thrilled you enjoy it, Val!! xoxoxo
Made this tonight and it was SO good! My husband and I have already eaten half of it!
Yaaaas! So happy to hear it, Jerra! I have a difficult time stopping at one serving too! xoxoxo
Could this be baked in individual ramekins?
Hi Katie! Absolutely! I love that idea. I’m not sure about the bake time because I’ve never tried it. If it were me, I would check on the ramekins after 25 minutes and go from there ๐ xoxo
I don’t use Premade GF flour. Do u have a re iOS with almond/coconut flour Maybe? Looks yummy
Hi Geege,
