Tips to Make Gluten-Free Strawberry Cobbler
- Make sure to use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. You can also experiment with other fruits like blueberries or peaches.
- If you want a sweeter cobbler, add more sugar to the ingredients or drizzle honey on top before serving.
- Check the consistency of the batter. If it seems too thick, adding a little more almond milk can help.
Variation
You can substitute coconut oil with unsalted butter or any other oil you prefer. If you want to add some crunch, consider folding in gluten-free oats or nuts into the batter.
