I know you can use coconut flour as a substitute for almond flour, but has anyone successfully made this with coconut flour? I am allergic to nuts and I have not successfully been able to do the conversion right as coconut flour is WAY more absorbent than almond flour is. I totally wrecked the Paleo Apple Muffins trying to substitute. Can anyone help? Either with a recipe or conversion equation that they have found works? Thanks!

I melted the coconut oil. I wasn’t sure what to do with it since it wasn’t specified. Is the “crumble” supposed to be crunchy or soft?
It was delicious even if I did it wrong! lol I used frozen mixed berries: blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. Yummy!

I usually melt my coconut oil first prior to using it with baked goods but having it formed into little wax like balls for this crust is normal since it’s more of a “crumble” than a “crust.” : )

I made this tonight and it was yummy. Question about coconut oil… should you melt it before using. I used it as a paste and it formed wax balls in the “crust” mix. Maybe that is the point, but I’m a little new to the “oil” that’s not liquid out of the bottle.

I tried this recipe using peaches with coconut flour, since I did not have any almond meal and it was well…boring. So I purchased some almond meal and WOW, my family and I loved it!! It was delicious warm with the coconut milk and the next day it was just as delicious cold straight out of the pan. Thank you Sarah for such wonderful healthy recipes!

I just made this for a group of non-paleo people who asked me to bring dessert and they all loved it. A couple of the guys even went back for seconds! Thanks for a great recipe

Another hit in the household. We made the cobbler last night with the berries we had on hand, blackberries, strawberries and blueberries. The house smelled so good while this was cooking. We were all thinking of ideas of what we might like to add next time or how we could modify for other types of fruit. Very yummy!! This was probably a lifesaver since my husband has been craving some sort of comfort food. This gave him a treat without deviating from our newly found paleo lifestyle.

Peaches are in season here right now, I’ll have to try it that way, sounds delicious!

they also make cocnut meal/flour, you should see if you can find that instead of nuts

I made this to recipe the first time and loved it, then i decided to try to jazz it up and added a white peach to the blackberries. I also sprinkled cinnamon on top of the “crust” before baking. Instead of using coconut milk the second time, i topped it with a little bit of Blue Diamond Original Almond milk, it is a little sweeter than the cocnut milk and pairs nicely with the almond flavor of the crust and sweetness of the peach. All in all i liked the second time around much better, the peaches were sinfully healthy!

Good afternoon ~

Sarah, I just received your book yesterday and while flipping through I noticed several of the recipes call for almond meal. Are you aware of any substitutes for almond meal? I’m dying to try the “Berry Good Cobbler” especially, but my daughter is allergic to nuts (all that we’ve tried so far).

Just made this tonite and loved it! I used vanilla almond milk instead of the coconut milk and it was fantastic. First helping was thicker – like a cobbler should be….second helping I ate more like a bowl of cereal and loved it!

Thanks Sarah!

I do not provide nutritional information for my recipes, I wrote a little paragraph as to why I did not do that right before the recipe section in my book. : ) If you want to figure out the nutritional values for each meal, you can always plug it in here and it’s fast, free and easy! http://www.fitday.com/

Hi Sarah! I made this last night and it is awesome! I own the Everyday Paleo cookbook and so far everything I’ve made is amazing. I’m tracking my food on myfitnesspal.com and wondered – do you have nutrition information for your recipes anywhere? Thank you so much!

Made this last night for dessert. We had to use half blackberries and half blueberries. I also used canned coconut milk. I like the thickness and the coconut flavor it has so much better than the carton one. It was so good!! It reminded me a bit of warm cereal in the morning. I think when we are craving warm cereal, I will be making this.

The carton is a beverage the can is a cooking ingredient. Kinda like trying to cook with milk when the recipe calls for butter.

Wondering if there is a reason to buy both the carton Coconut Milk and the canned? Trying to streamline this diet a touch, but will gladly buy both if they both have their place!!

Thanks!

Hi,

Just started reading your blog and loving it (especially the dessert recipes) so thank you! I’m going to make this one tonight and am wondering how many people you would suggest this recipe is suitable for? I’m terrible with portion sizes and know I would end up having the whole thing to myself if I made it as is
Thanks

I tried this recipe today for a party and it was a major hit! I made some modifications so it would feed more people – about 6.5 cups of berries, 4 tbs coconut oil, 3 eggs and 3 cup sliced almonds which I processed. It filled my 9 x 13 pyrex perfectly.

Hi Destiny, I would try subbing a little bit of coconut milk, organic butter, or even just coconut oil. If you can add just enough liquid to get the almond meal to hold together, but not be like a batter, just crumbly, I bet it would work fine without the eggs! Give it a shot with the butter or the coconut oil and see how that works! I may try it myself, I bet both would add a nice flavor to the almond meal as an added bonus.

Hi – I’ve just found your blog and these recipes look great! I’d like to try this, but my kids are terribly allergic to eggs – any ideas for a sub for that? Thanks!
