Craving a simple but scrumptious treat? This easy vegan blueberry cobbler tastes delightfully decadent without using any unhealthy ingredients. Frozen blueberries are lightly sweetened with applesauce and then topped with wholesome vanilla- and almond-infused biscuits. Pop everything in the oven for 45 minutes, and then dig into this warm, jammy dessert as soon as it’s cool enough to eat. You can also try making this homey recipe with other frozen fruit, such as cherries or blackberries. Maybe even add a dollop of Aquafaba Whipped Cream while you’re at it!

(0 from 0 votes)could I substitute rolled oats for the oat flour if I don't ever use spelt flour and buying it for one thing doesn't make sense for my budget? it would be coarse, but might add a nice texture. I have a plain blender, not the high powered kind.
Very good and very quick and easy to make.
Is there an appropriate almond flour substitute? My daughter has a tree nut allergy.
Hi Micheal, While we haven't test this, whole wheat flour or oat flour might be a good substitution for the almond flour in this recipe. If you decide to try it, let us know!
Barbara, awesome recipe and appreciate you sharing. Not many are going to agree or be eager to try my flour substitution, but to even my amazement, hemp flour worked extremely well in place of spelt. For those not familiar with hemp, here are the benefits: - Highly digestible protein (edestin) with >90% digestibility - Contains all 9 essential amino acids - 41% fiber by weight - The fiber in hemp protein is primarily insoluble, which makes it ideal for keto formulations. Thanks again for your information.
Oops, i meant to give kudos to Mary.......
Is there a good substitute for spelt flour?
Hi Barbara, While we haven't tested this, you're still likely to get good results if you replace the spelt flour with another mild-flavored flour such as wheat flour, or, if you are gluten-free, you could use oat flour, sorghum flour, brown rice flour, or a gluten-free flour mix. The almond flour is dense and nutty, and would play well against either of these lighter flours. UPDATE: I made this last weekend using sorghum flour instead of spelt flour, and it was a hit! If you decide to try this recipe, let us know how it goes!
I haven't tried it for this recipe, but usually oat flour works well as a substitute.
