Dairy Free Blueberry Cobbler

Juicy blueberries simmer down into a jammy, jewel-toned filling, brightened with fresh lemon juice, a hint of zest, and a whisper of cinnamon. Spoonfuls of biscuit-style dough get dropped right on top, baking up into golden, craggy mounds that crisp at the edges while staying soft and tender underneath. As it bakes, the fruit bubbles up through every gap, so you get that gorgeous contrast of crunchy topping and syrupy, spoonable berries in one pan. It's rustic, cozy, and endlessly forgiving — no fussy lattice or rolled crust required, just a spoon and a hot oven. Serve it warm straight from the dish, and it easily earns a spot in your dairy free dessert lineup for cookouts, potlucks, or a simple weeknight treat.

2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp lemon zest
¼ tsp ground cinnamon

For the topping

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 tbsp granulated sugar

Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
½ cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
1 tsp turbinado sugar or granulated sugar

For serving

vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)
