Ingredients

2 pounds blackberries (32 ounces, or about 6 cups), fresh or frozen*
¼ cup maple syrup or honey
2 tablespoons arrowroot starch or cornstarch
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 ½ cups (225 grams) almond flour**
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon fine salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Zest from 1 large lemon
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, just melted
2 tablespoons plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 large egg
Optional: 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar (raw sugar) for sprinkling on top
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Steps

1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Rinse the blackberries well and remove any leaves or stems. Slice any particularly large blackberries (longer than 1 ¼ inches) in half lengthwise.
2
To make the filling: In a 9-inch square baking dish, mix together the blackberries, maple syrup, starch, lemon juice (remove the zest from 1 lemon before juicing it and save it for the filling), and cinnamon. Bake the filling for 20 to 25 minutes, until the mixture is bubbling around all four edges, while you prepare the topping.
3
To make the topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk gently to combine, then set it aside.
4
In a small-to-medium bowl, combine the sugar and lemon zest. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar (this extracts more flavor from the lemon). Then, pour the mixture into the other dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Keep the bowl handy for the egg mixture.
5
In the smaller bowl, combine the melted butter, yogurt and egg, and whisk until evenly combined. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, and stir until well combined. It will look crumbly at first, but stir well until it comes together into a cohesive dough.
6
Dollop one large spoonful at a time over the hot filling, using the back of another spoon or your finger to help transfer each dollop. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the dough, if desired.
7
Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, until the filling is actively bubbling around the edges and the top is lightly golden. Let the cobbler rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
