You all know by now that I am a little (okay some might say more than a little) weird. Who wants to be normal anyway?
You might think it’s weird I eat way, way, way more strawberries in the winter than I do in the summer, but it’s not actually weird at all. When the days are dark and cold and nasty, I can turn to Florida Strawberries with a December through April growing season for a bit of brightness and a burst of juicy flavor.
But that’s not all Florida Strawberries bring to the party. You can check out all the health benefits of strawberries on the Florida Strawberry site, and you might be as surprised as I was. For example while I think it’s becoming common knowledge that strawberries are a good source of vitamin C (just eight strawberries have more than an orange!), I had no idea they are an excellent source of folic acid.
Plus strawberries are high in ellagic acid, which is believed to help reduce the risk of cancer. I need to add even more strawberries to my diet.
While I am more than happy to eat strawberries as is or heat them up in the microwave for a jam like vibe, Paleo Strawberry Cobbler is my new favorite dessert (or even slightly indulgent breakfast). I say slightly because this gluten free, refined sugar free dish is nothing to feel guilty about no matter what time of day you eat it, even if it seems like a decadent dessert.
I have been experimenting more and more with Paleo baking and I have found the results to be outstanding. This cobbler is no exception. The flavor of the Florida Strawberries shines through in the fruit filled base, while the topping is crusty on top and tender and cake like where the juices from the strawberries have soaked in. Basically, it’s bliss.
Be sure to pick up some Florida Strawberries on your next trip to the store (I scored some at Target!) and have fun experimenting with all those little red berries can do. Follow Florida Strawberries on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube for inspiration!

I like all your quirks! I’ve been eating tons of strawberries this winter, too—especially now that the Florida crop is available! But I’d also love to eat them in a cobbler—especially this one with a healthy twist.
Laura says
Yes, three cheers for the Florida crop as I never buy produce (except avocados) from Mexico.
Jersey Girl Cooks says
I’ve never had strawberry cobbler but love strawberry pie so I’m sure I’d love this!
Cindy @CindysRecipesAndWritings says
I’m always up for cobbler, Delish!

Thanks, Renee!
Caroline says
Sounds like a tasty dessert!
Adina says
I love this kind of fruit casseroles, but I have never made one with strawberries. It sounds delicious, I have to keep it in mind!
John/Kitchen Riffs says
Florida strawberries are the best! We used to live about 30 miles from the area where most of them were grown, so we had really fresh and ripe strawberries in our grocery stores from Christmas to around St. Pat’s Day. SO GOOD! And speaking of good, this looks wonderful — perfect way to use strawberries. Thanks!
Laura says
Oh, how lucky to have lived in Florida. I bet you wish you were still there this winter!
Katie says
Not going to lie – I would also totally eat this for breakfast!
