Tips for Making this Blueberry Dump Cake
You can use fresh blueberries instead of frozen blueberries if you prefer. If you use fresh blueberries, you won't need to bake the dump cake as long as with frozen berries.
Reduce the baking time by 5-10 minutes to avoid over-baking.
You may want to play around with the amount of sweetener in the cake. Use more or less sweetener according to your personal taste.
Bake your dump cake long enough to allow the top to brown adequately, but not long enough to dry it out. Upon cooling, the topping will soften into a consistency reminiscent of bread pudding.
Dairy-Free Dump Cake Option
You can easily make this dump cake dairy-free if needed. If you don't consume dairy by preference or can't due to an allergy or intolerance, simply replace the butter with melted coconut instead.
Your paleo blueberry dump cake will come out just as delicious as the dairy butter version does.
If you're in the market for more dairy-free blueberry desserts, our keto berry smoothie is another great recipe that uses almond milk in place of dairy milk.
Working With Almond Flour
Not all almond flours are alike. Make sure to use a fine ground almond flour.
If the almond flour is stored in the refrigerator or freezer, bring it to room temperature before using. Cold almond flour absorbs more of the wet ingredients.
Stir the almond flour, then spoon it into the measuring cup and level. Never dip the measuring cup into the almond flour. It will add too much almond flour to the recipe.

Very good. Used one egg in flour mixture to make crumbly. Only used 1/4 sweetener. Served with fresh whipped cream.
Janice
I ended up with a great tasting dessert.. I used fresh, wild blueberries. I double checked the ingredients and measurements. It also was a bit grainy because it did not bake into a cake. Any thoughts?
Janice
Oh. I used granulated stevia. It was a bit sweet fir my taste.
Chrystal
This recipe is more like a crisp than a cobbler, so it's going to be on the grainy side.
