I had some pecan flour in my freezer and came up with this grain free blueberry cobbler to try it out in a baking recipe. It ended up turning out quite tasty .. even my picky 5 year old liked it! If you don’t have any raw pecans around to grind into flour for this recipe, almond flour could be easily substituted.
Blueberry Pecan Cobbler
1 – 1 1/2 pint fresh blueberries (blueberries are a low to no spray crop .. nonorganic are fine)
2 cups finely ground pecan flour*
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup date sugar
1 cup expeller pressed coconut oil
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp organic cinnamon
1/2 tsp organic orange flavor
1/2 tsp organic ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
Spread the blueberries in the bottom of a glass baking dish – pick the size based on how deep you prefer your cobbler. I used a round dish 10″ across. Mix all ingredients together and pour over the top of the blueberries. Bake at 350F for 40 minutes or until topping is firm, golden brown and filling is bubbling.
This recipe is submitted to Kelly The Kitchen Kop’s Real Food Wednesday.
* Please be sure to maximize the nutrition in your pecan flour by soaking/drying the raw pecans before grinding into flour. For every 4 cups of pecans, add 2 tsp of sea salt to the filtered water and soak for 7 hours or overnight before drying at 150F on cookie sheets in your oven.

Dear Sarah,
i love to make my own yogurt from organic whole milk and have never tried raw milk or even unhomogeonized milk, but my love of enzymes and dairy is great and i would like to obtain the highest quality and most delicious milk i can and i figure fresh, creamy raw organic milk is the best and i saw on realmilk.com that you know where to get some and we live in the same area so can you please tell me where you buy your raw milk?
Yay, a low-sugar/grain free dessert. I can do this, and blueberry season will be here before you know it! Thanks!
If you contact your local Weston A Price Chapter Leader (westonaprice.org) and email him/her, she will send you a list of local sources for you to investigate. I am not able to post any of my direct sources online.
aren't you a local leader for the tampa area?
i live in the brandon area of florida and there are actually a lot of farmers near where i live, however i don't have the menas or qualifications to know which of them are rasing their animals humanely , organically, and on pasture and/or practice mixed, organic farming, so if you know of any of these farmers and can get me their contact info or know of a Weston A. Price Chapter Leader in the brandon area, can you please tell me via a reply to this comment?, thank you.
There are at least 3 WAPF Chapter Leaders in my local metro area last time I checked. If you go to the local chapters section of westonaprice.org and email the chapter leader closest to where you are, he/she would be happy to send you the list.
Hi Sarah,
I was just updating my dirty dozen/clean 15 list and saw that blueberries made the dirty dozen list this year. I don't know why the change, but thought I'd pass on the info.
Thanks for the heads up about the new dirty dozen list, Daryl. I'm going to be blogging about this and EWG this week (May 10, 2010)
