Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients (Berries):
- 4 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
Cobbler Batter Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cobbler Batter Wet Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions
- Whisk together dry ingredients for the cobbler batter until thoroughly blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Create a smooth batter by incorporating wet ingredients, mixing until the texture becomes uniform and silky.
- Gently coat mixed berries with a light dusting of sugar and flour, allowing them to macerate and release natural juices.
- Distribute the berry mixture across the bottom of the slow cooker, creating an even, vibrant layer.
- Delicately spoon the prepared cobbler batter over the berries, allowing some berry peaks to remain visible.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and set to high heat, allowing the dessert to transform into a bubbling, golden-edged treat for approximately 2-3 hours.
- Once the cobbler has set and berries are gently simmering, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Elevate the dessert by serving warm, accompanied by a creamy scoop of vanilla ice cream or a pillowy dollop of whipped cream for a decadent finish.
Notes
- Swap out wheat flour for gluten-free alternatives like almond or coconut flour to make this dessert celiac-friendly.
- Reduce sugar content by using stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a lower-calorie version that’s diabetes-friendly.
- Experiment with seasonal berries or frozen mixed fruits to adapt the recipe throughout the year, keeping the dish exciting and versatile.
- Use a parchment paper liner in the slow cooker for easier cleanup and seamless serving of the cobbler.
