Berry & Almond Skillet Cobbler

Jammy mixed berries beneath a tender almond topping dropped in rough spoonfuls, leaving purple pools to bubble through. A skillet dessert that looks cooked, not manufactured.

Rustic berry skillet cobbler with irregular almond topping and bubbling juices
TooGut pickFlexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Cobbler is at its best when the topping has gaps. Those exposed berries reduce into glossy pockets while differently sized dollops create both soft middles and browned edges.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Start the fruit

Heat the oven to 190°C. Toss berries, maple, lemon and arrowroot in a 26 cm ovenproof skillet. Let the berries sit in their natural mix of sizes.

Mix the topping

Stir almond meal, tapioca, baking powder and salt. Add egg, coconut milk and oil; mix to a thick, soft dough.

Drop rough spoonfuls

Spoon the dough over the fruit in varied sizes, deliberately leaving several gaps.

Bake until bubbling

Bake for 28 to 33 minutes until the topping is mottled gold and berry juices bubble through the gaps.

Let it settle

Rest for 15 minutes before serving. The juices thicken as they cool and natural spills around the topping are welcome.
