Our favorite family recipe! This fluffy cake-style gluten free blueberry cobbler is a guilt-free version of the classic summer dessert!
I participated in Mom Blog Tour Natural Products Expo West (#MomBlogTourFF) on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers. I received Wyman’s of Maine products to facilitate my review, but my opinions and creative content are my own.
Gluten Free Wild Blueberry Cobbler
My uncle grows blueberries, and every summer he’d bring buckets of them to the beach or wherever our family gathered.
Needless to say, we ate lots of blueberries and blueberry based recipes, like pancakes. However, the blueberry cobbler was always the star of the show!
My aunts make a cake-style blueberry cobbler, with a fluffy pancake-like topping. In my humble opinion it’s the best!
Craving a taste from my childhood, I asked my husband to re-create our family’s recipe, and make it gluten free so I could enjoy as much as I wanted.
As always, the hubby did a spot-on job — his gluten free blueberry cobbler tastes just like how I remember it! I’m so excited to share the recipe with you!
Since my uncle lives thousands of miles away, we used Wyman’s of Maine Fresh Frozen Wild Blueberries for our cobbler.
What is the Difference between Wild Blueberries and Cultivated?
Cultivated blueberries are what most people picture when they think of a blueberry. They are commercially farmed and often selectively bred to produce larger fruits.
Wild blueberries grow naturally in what are known as “barrens” in Maine and Canada. They’re not planted or genetically modified. Wild blueberries are smaller, and have a larger skin-to-fruit ratio, so they provide a more intense flavor and pack more nutrients (contained in the skin).
I actually prefer wild blueberries because of their rich flavor. Plus, they’re not only more nutritious than cultivated blueberries, they are one of the most beneficial fruits period! Here’s a look at why wild blueberries are so good for you:
- High in Fiber — One cup of wild blueberries contains 25% of the recommended daily value of fiber.
- Excellent Source of Manganese — This mineral aids in bone development and key body functions and one cup of wild blueberries has over 200% of what you need in a day!
- Packed with Antioxidants — Antioxidants are crucial to help neutralize free radicals, which are molecules that damage our body’s cells and may lead to cancer and heart disease. Wild blueberries are one of the top fruit-based sources of antioxidants.
Wyman’s of Maine was founded in 1874 and is a family-owned business. They’re known as a leader in growing and harvesting wild blueberries – and it shows in their product!
In addition to Wild Blueberries, Wyman’s also supplies superior quality Frozen Blackberries, Raspberries, Strawberries and Mangoes, sourced from family farms in the U.S. and abroad.

Combine blueberries, brown sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a large sauté pan. Simmer 45 minutes over medium heat, uncovered.
While blueberries reduce, make a double batch of our gluten free pancake batter. (This is my husband’s gluten free pancakes recipe and it is seriously the best ever). Set aside.
Butter the bottom of a 9 x 13″ baking pan (you can use either oven-safe glass or a metal pan, depending on what you have). Pour blueberry mixture into pan.
Spoon pancake batter on top of blueberries, carefully as to keep the layers separate.
Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F.
Remove from oven and brush the top of cobbler with butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
Return to oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until top is a light golden brown.
Serve with whipped topping or ice cream. Best enjoyed warm out of the oven. (Though I’ve been known to eat it for breakfast the next day too!)
