PREPARATION
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). This heat allows the cobbler to bake evenly and achieve a golden, bubbly finish.
- Prepare Berries: In a small oven-safe dish or ramekin, add the mixed berries. Drizzle with honey for added sweetness and toss gently to coat.
- Mix Topping: In a separate bowl, combine oats, almond flour, cinnamon, and melted coconut oil. Stir until the ingredients form a crumbly mixture.
- Assemble Cobbler: Spoon the topping mixture over the berries, spreading it evenly to cover them. This will create a crispy, golden crust over the fruit once baked.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the berry juices are bubbling.
- Cool And Enjoy: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or topped with a dollop of yoghurt or a scoop of ice cream.

TIPS
Here are some tips for the preparation of a Mini Berry Cobbler:
- Berry Variety: Use a mix of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries for a balanced sweetness and tartness. If using frozen berries, there is no need to thaw before baking.
- Avoid Overmixing: When combining the topping ingredients, mix until just combined to maintain a crumbly texture. Overmixing can make the topping dense.
- Add A Crunchy Top: Sprinkle extra oats or a few chopped nuts on top of the cobbler for an added layer of texture.
VARIATIONS
- Nutty Topping: Add a teaspoon of chopped almonds or pecans to the topping for added crunch and flavour.
- Coconut Flavour: Mix in ½ tsp shredded coconut to the topping for a tropical twist.
- Sweeter Option: Use maple syrup instead of honey for a more decadent sweetness, or add an extra ½ tsp honey if you prefer a sweeter dessert.
- Spiced Cobbler: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the topping for a warm, spiced flavour that complements the berries.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge: Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving.
- Freezer: For longer storage, wrap the unbaked cobbler in plastic wrap and store it in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to bake, thaw slightly and bake as directed.
