In the Kitchen - Healthy Blackberry Cobbler

We love this recipe.  All summer when the blackberries got ripe and we had enough for this cobbler, we enjoyed it after supper.  It is almost a guilt-free dessert.  Those are the kinds I keep in this house so we never feel deprived and can always satisfy our sweet tooth!

Since promising that I would work through some of the stock in the pantry and freezer, I made frozen cauliflower yesterday (baked in a pan with a bit of olive oil and garlic and then topped with parmesan cheese at the end of the baking), and the little cobbler for tonight.  It will go great with the special cinnamon ice cream we got at Pickett Fence Creamery this weekend! 

I will share pictures of the cobbler after the recipe.  And here is the recipe.  Try this easy recipe with any fruit and you will love it!

Healthy Cobbler

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Mixed Berries Or Any Fruit, Fresh Or Frozen
  • ¼ cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ cups Honey, Divided
  • ½ cups Rolled Oats
  • ¼ cups Chopped Walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Ginger
  • ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spray an 8″ x 8″ baking pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, toss fruit and 1 tablespoon flour together. Add 1/4 cup honey (reserve the remaining 1/4 cup of honey for topping) and use your fingers to thoroughly combine ingredients. If using frozen berries, the honey may cause them to bunch together, so you’ll have to pick them apart by hand. Pour fruit mixture into the baking pan.
In a medium bowl, mix remaining flour, oats, walnuts, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg until combined. Add remaining honey and coconut oil. Use your fingers to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Sprinkle the flour and oat mixture evenly over the fruit.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until fruit is bubbly and the topping is browned and crisp. Let cool for 20 minutes. Serve plain or top each serving with vanilla yogurt.


Enjoy!!
