One sunny afternoon last summer, I found myself with a basket overflowing with fresh strawberries from my local farmers’ market. I wanted something comforting, sweet, and simple something that would make my kitchen smell like home. That’s when I decided to make a Gluten Free Strawberry Cobbler. The warmth of the oven, the sweet scent of strawberries bubbling under a golden crust, and the anticipation of sharing it with my family brought me pure joy. This recipe is now one of my absolute favorites, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Every bite feels like a hug from the inside, and it’s a dessert that brings everyone together family, friends, and even neighbors who happen to drop by!
Why I Love Making This Recipe
There’s something so magical about a cobbler. You don’t need fancy equipment or complicated techniques—just fresh ingredients, a loving touch, and a cozy kitchen. I love making this recipe because it’s:
- Quick and simple: You can prep it in 15 minutes, bake for under an hour, and enjoy almost immediately.
- Flexible: Use whatever berries you have on hand, swap milk for a dairy-free alternative, or add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth.
- Perfect for sharing: This dessert always disappears fast when I serve it to family or friends, and it brings everyone together around the table.
Honestly, making this cobbler is like therapy for me. Stirring the batter, tossing the berries with sugar, and hearing the oven hum as it bakes—it’s my little escape and a way to show love through food.
Ingredients & Little Kitchen Secrets
Here’s what you’ll need for this Gluten Free Strawberry Cobbler:
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour blend
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for batter)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Kitchen secrets I swear by:
- Let your strawberries macerate with sugar and lemon juice for at least 10 minutes. This draws out the natural juices and intensifies their flavor.
- Melt your butter gently and mix it with the batter while still warm—it gives the cobbler that irresistible golden crust.
- Don’t overmix the batter! A light touch keeps the texture soft and tender.
How I Make It, Step by Step
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Toss strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar and lemon juice. Set aside for 10–15 minutes to macerate.
- In a separate bowl, combine gluten free flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in melted butter, milk, and vanilla until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Spoon the macerated strawberries (including their juices) over the batter.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the cobbler is golden and a toothpick in the batter comes out clean.
- Let it cool slightly, then serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
How I Serve It at Home
I like to serve this cobbler warm, straight from the oven. My family loves it with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sometimes I sprinkle a few extra berries on top for a pretty, summery presentation. I love how the juices seep into the crust, creating that irresistible, gooey, sweet-and-tangy flavor with every bite.
Storage, Reheating & Make-Ahead Tips
- Make-ahead: You can prep the batter a day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge. Add strawberries right before baking.
- Storage: Leftovers last 2–3 days in the fridge, but honestly, it rarely lasts that long!
- Reheating: Pop a portion in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or warm it in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 10 minutes to enjoy as if freshly baked.
