Is this berry cobbler gluten or dairy-free?
The protein berry cobbler is dairy-free as long as your protein powder is dairy-free, because not all of them are. Orgain and Nuzest make popular dairy-free vanilla protein powders.
This recipe is not gluten-free due to the oatmeal. However, there are many gluten-free options for oatmeal so feel free to use one of those to make this a gluten-free cobbler.

How to make this easy berry cobbler
Mixed berry cobbler is one of my favorite dessert recipes to make. You’ll need to prepare for 40 minutes of baking time, but the prep shouldn’t take more than 10! In total, this dish will take less than 1 hour from start to finish and will taste like it took hours.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, 1/4 cup sweetener, and arrowroot. Stir until all the berries are coated evenly. Pour the berry mixture into a cast iron skillet or 9×13 baking dish.
In another bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, protein powder, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are well mixed.
Pour the melted coconut oil into the dry ingredients, followed by the almond milk. Stir until the mixture resembles uncooked oatmeal.
Evenly distribute the oatmeal topping over the berry mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the berry mixture is bubbly.
Frequently asked questions:

This was delicious! I actually only had frozen blueberries (and the rest fresh) and it worked great. I didn’t have enough Stevia to go around so I used part sugar part stevia. Very yummy! I’d make it again.
This was yummy!! It was so good fresh out of the oven. I was nervous about all the stevia but you don’t notice it when it’s hot. I had some once it cooled and you could taste that stevia aftertaste, but it’s still good considering all the cals the stevia saves.
I’m glad you liked it!
