Vegan Blueberry Cobbler No Oil
Vegan Blueberry Cobbler No Oil features fresh blueberries tossed with lemon and coconut sugar under a biscuit-style topping made from a blend of all-purpose and almond flours. The topping uses coconut milk for moisture and is gently spooned over the berries before baking to form a tender crust with a hint of spice from nutmeg. This oil-free recipe results in a lightly sweetened, fruit-forward dessert suitable for plant-based diets.
