Ingredients
- Blackberries or other low carb fruit: Ripe berries provide natural sweetness Fresh or thawed fruit works
- Almond meal or almond flour: Gives the topping its classic crumbly texture Look for finely ground almond flour for best results
- Granulated erythritol or xylitol or sugar: For sweetness without a carb spike Choose a keto friendly sweetener that measures like sugar
- Ground cinnamon: Adds warmth and enhances the fruit flavor Use fresh fragrant cinnamon for the brightest taste
- Butter or coconut oil: Brings a rich buttery flavor and helps bind the topping Use high quality grass fed butter or virgin coconut oil
Step-by-Step Instructions

- Combine almond flour the rest of the erythritol and cinnamon in a bowl Use a fork to work in the butter or oil until the mixture forms small crumbly pieces that stick when squeezed
- Top and Bake:
- Sprinkle the crumble over the berries so every bite gets a little topping Bake at three hundred seventy five degrees Fahrenheit for about thirty minutes until the berries are bubbling and the topping is golden brown
- Serve:
- Enjoy the cobbler warm for a comforting treat or chill and top with keto ice cream for an extra special dessert
