Keto Cranberry Cobbler

If you’re looking for a low-carb holiday brunch or dessert, look no further than this keto cranberry cobbler. Made with fresh or frozen cranberries, it’s sure to be a hit with both family and friends!

The tanginess of the bright cranberries with the sweetness of the almond flour cobbler topping will be the showstopper of your holiday table.

Cobblers have always been a favorite in our family, and that’s the main reason I created several keto cobbler recipes since a recipe that won’t cause an insulin spike was essential to me.

I have quite a number of keto cranberry recipes, and I don’t see this trend stopping any time soon. Frankly, I can’t seem to get enough of these tart berries.

Keto Cranberry Cobbler

It’s hard to resist the temptation of food around the holidays. I don’t know if it has something to do with weather changing or that we associate memories with certain types and flavors during this time period.

You know where thoughts turn nostalgic, and we crave the foods we grew up with.

But cheating on keto means a blood sugar spike that leads us back to craving even more sugary carbs. That’s why creating holiday keto recipes is so important to me.

I never want people to fail with their keto goals because they don’t have delicious keto options.

I am happy to share a wonderful recipe for a keto-friendly dessert that would make a beautiful addition this holiday season.

This festive low carb dessert clocks in at only 4.1 net carbs compared to the original recipe, which can have upwards of 40 net carbs!

You can even assemble everything the night before and then bake it the next day. It’s a great way to plan your holiday treats.

I love how this keto cranberry cobbler is a perfect way to enjoy cranberries while in season. With that being said, you can certainly also use frozen cranberries and enjoy them any time of year.

Are Cranberries Keto-Friendly?

If you’re wondering if cranberries are keto-friendly, I’m happy to report that they are.

You see, these tart berries happen to have a low amount of carbs and a high fiber content per serving size, making them perfect for anyone on a low carb diet.

One cup only has 12 grams, with 5 grams coming from their natural fibers. Isn’t that just fantastic news?

But eating cranberries raw isn’t really a thing because they’re pretty sour on their own, so they will always need a sweetener for us to enjoy them fully.

Thankfully, using a sugar-free substitute, monk fruit, works equally well at masking those tart flavors, leaving behind nothing but deliciousness in return.

In addition to their low-carb, high-fiber properties, cranberries have a reputation for being a superfood since they are packed with antioxidants and are high in vitamins C, A, and K.

They also contain proanthocyanidins (PACs) a powerhouse antioxidant that may help prevent diseases.

How To Make Keto Cranberry Cobbler

To make this low-carb cranberry cobbler, you’ll start by making the cranberry mixture. In essence, it’s a keto cranberry sauce.

You’ll combine the cranberries, water, sugar substitute, orange extract, and orange zest and cook on the stovetop in a small saucepan over medium heat until the cranberries pop and the sauce thickens.

This should take around 10–15 minutes.

Alternatively, you can also just make a batch of our keto cranberry sauce as the filling. Or make double that recipe and save half for the cobbler! Yumms.

Then you’ll proceed to make the tender, sugar-free almond flour batter that will serve as the topping.

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, orange zest, and salt, setting it aside while you whisk in a separate bowl the sugar substitute, softened butter, and sour cream.

Once combined, you’ll stir in the eggs and vanilla or orange extract and blend until fully incorporated.

Next, you’ll add the wet batter to the dry ingredients and combine well.

Once both the filling and topping are ready, it’s time to assemble the cobbler and bake.

I used a well-buttered 7×11 inch baking dish and added the filling to the bottom of the dish.

Then, I topped the cranberry filling with the cobbler topping by adding spoonfuls over the surface. Now it’s ready to bake in a preheated 350-degree oven.

Bake the cobbler for 25–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze for up to three weeks.

Sugar-Substitute Options

As far as which sweeteners you can use in this sugar-free cranberry cobbler, you have a few choices.

My go-to sweetener is Lakanto Monk Fruit because the texture is what comes close to sugar and because there is barely any aftertaste. It’s a monk fruit and erythritol blend, and it’s become my favorite. 

Lakanto Monk Fruit gets its sweetness from antioxidants called mogrosides, instead of fructose or sucrose.

That’s why it’s a great all-natural sugar substitute and has zero calories and zero glycemic index impact.

I’m also partial to  Swerve an erythritol blend. Unlike other natural sweeteners like stevia, it has no bitter aftertaste and measures just like sugar.

It’s also a natural sweetener that browns and caramelizes just like sugar.

Swerve is made from ingredients found in select fruits and starchy root vegetable and contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or flavors.

Swerve, unlike other sugar alcohols, has a 0% impact on blood sugar.

If using stevia, I recommend a stevia-erythritol blend. The only one I like is the brand Pyure.

When using Pyure, you need to use just half the amount the recipe calls for. This is because it’s a much sweeter option.

Lastly, if you cannot easily source a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.

How To Serve Your Keto Cranberry Cobbler

You have several options when it comes to serving your cobbler. I like to serve it warm, but it can be served at room temperature or cold.

If served warm, it goes beautifully with a scoop of keto-friendly vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

However, it is fantastic and can be enjoyed without any toppings. The choice is totally yours.

Needing A Nut-Free Option?

If you need a nut-free option, you can substitute the almond flour for sunflower seed flour since it measures 1:1 like almond flour.

Join Our Jesus And Keto Movement

In case you don’t know, Randy and I came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective. As believers, we live our lives supported by God’s grace.

So when the Holy Spirit led us to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.

To say we needed God’s intervention is to put it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit’s prompting, we got on the path to real transformation.

Knowing firsthand the benefits of this decision, we have created a closed Christian group that is using the keto diet to transform their lives.

We invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it’s not the key you have been missing.

Be sure to request our FREE Jesus and Keto E-Book (First 7 Days). We hope it blesses you.
