Ingredients
• For the Blueberry Filling
• 1/2 cup / 70g frozen or fresh berries
• 1 tsp / 5ml erythritol or xylitol
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp xanthan gum OR 1/8 tsp psyllium husk powder OR 1/4 tsp coconut flour
• For the Cobbler Topping
• 1 tbsp / 14g butter, melted
• 3 tbsp almond flour
• 1 tsp erythritol or xylitol
• 1/4 tsp salt, optional, omit if using salted butter
Instructions
1. In a large, microwave-safe mug (at least 1 cup / 250ml), mix together the berries, sweetener, salt, and your thickener of choice until well combined.
2. Microwave the berry mixture for 60-90 seconds, stirring halfway through. Use a shorter time for fresh berries. The filling should be bubbly and slightly thickened, but remember it will set more as it cools.
3. In a separate small bowl, mix the melted butter, almond flour, sweetener, and optional salt until a crumbly dough forms.
4. Microwave the topping mixture for 20-30 seconds. Be very careful not to overcook, as it burns easily. The top may look soft, but the bottom will be cooked and browned.
5. Use a fork to break up the cooked topping into crumbles and sprinkle it over your warm berry filling. Enjoy immediately!

Pro Tips
• Watch the topping closely! It can go from perfect to burnt in seconds. Mix it halfway through its short cooking time to check the browning on the bottom.
• Don’t over-thicken the berries. The filling will continue to set and thicken as it cools. It should still be a little saucy when you take it out of the microwave.
• Swap your berries! This recipe works beautifully with raspberries, blackberries, or a mixed berry blend. Just be mindful of the carb count for different fruits.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon to the crumble topping or a dash of lemon juice to the berry filling to make the flavors pop.
