Blueberry-Peach Cobbler
A warm, fruity peach and blueberry cobbler topped with crunchy pecans, perfect for sharing with family and friends during cozy gatherings or summer desserts.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel and slice the peaches and place them in a baking dish.
- Sprinkle the blueberries over the peaches.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over the fruit.
- Mix the self-rising flour and remaining sugar in a bowl.
- Cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the flour mixture over the fruit in the baking dish.
- Bake for about 30 minutes at 400°F.
- Add the chopped pecans on top and bake until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the peach and blueberry mixture. You can substitute the margarine with unsalted butter for a more traditional taste. If you don't have self-rising flour, combine all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. For a nut-free option, simply omit the pecans.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with Grilled Yam Slices for a delightful summer meal. For a light breakfast, enjoy it alongside Soy-Oat Waffles to complement the fruit flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen blueberries can be used in this recipe. Just be sure to thaw them and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the dish to prevent a soggy cobbler.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The fruit should be bubbling around the edges for the best texture.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, you can make this recipe vegan by substituting the margarine with a plant-based butter and ensuring that the sugar used is vegan-friendly. This will still yield a delicious cobbler.
