What are the best gluten free flours for a pear cobbler recipe

For thisrecipe, we used Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour and Tapioca Flour. The Almond Flour is made from whole, blanched almonds and for baking, I prefer to use blanched almond flour versus almond meal. It helps to make the texture light and fluffy. And the tapioca flour helps to give the edges a little bit of a crispy, browned texture.

What pears are best for a pear cobbler?

We love to use fresh pears – not canned. As far as which variety of fresh pears to use, take your pick! Just about any will do, so if you have a favorite go for that. We like bartlett, bosc or d’anjou. Really though, whatever is convenient and you like, go for that!

How do you make a cobbler topping?

To make the topping for this pear cobbler, you just need a mixing bowl and some basic Paleo pantry ingredients.

  • Add all the dry topping ingredients to the bowl and give it a good whisk to make sure it’s all mixed well.
  • Cut the ghee (or coconut oil for Vegan) into the dry mixture. This just means use a fork and mix the ghee in until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Add the non-dairy milk and continue to mix until a batter forms.
  • That’s it! Now it’s ready to be put on top of the pear mixture and baked!

  • 1.25 cups Bob's Red Mill almond flour
  • 1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour, (also used in pear filling)
  • 1/4 cup maple sugar, (or coconut sugar. also used in pear filling.)
  • 2 tsp paleo baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon, (also used in pear filling)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt, (also used in pear filling)
  • 1/4 cup ghee, room temperature, (or coconut oil for Vegan)
  • 2 tbsp non-dairy milk, (almond, cashew, coconut, etc.)

For the pear filling:

  • 6 cups pears, cored and sliced, (about 5-6 pears)
  • 1 tbsp Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour
  • 2 tbsp maple sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp all spice
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit and grease a round pie dish or square baking dish.
  • Core and slice pears and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the rest of the filling ingredients and toss. Dump into greased baking dish.
  • In the same mixing bowl you just used, whisk together the dry ingredients for the cobbler topping.
  • Using a fork, "cut" the ghee or coconut oil into the dry mixture. Just use the fork to mix the ghee or coconut oil in until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Add non-dairy milk and continue to mix with fork until a batter forms. Set aside while you prep the pears.
  • Spoon batter over the pears and spread out a bit. Transfer to oven and bake for about 35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool so it sets. Then, scoop some out and serve with non-dairy ice cream or whipped cream if you like.
