A light and fat-free cobbler with a sweet, fruity base topped with a simple, tender batter—perfect for health-conscious dessert lovers seeking a satisfying treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together and pour the batter over the fruit in a baking dish.
- Bake at 350°F until the top is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter option, consider substituting the sugar with a natural sweetener like stevia or agave syrup. You can also use whole wheat flour for added nutrition. If you're looking for a fruit filling, berries or peaches work beautifully and add a vibrant color. Ensure the batter is evenly spread over the fruit for even baking, and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, topped with a dollop of fat-free whipped cream or a scoop of low-fat ice cream for a delicious dessert. It pairs beautifully with Hazel'S Buns for a delightful brunch spread. Consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad or yogurt for a balanced meal that complements the sweetness of the cobbler.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. For a crispier topping, reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, allowing the top to regain its golden brown color.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit for this cobbler?
Yes, you can use frozen fruit! Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before adding it to the baking dish to prevent a soggy cobbler. If using frozen fruit, you might need to bake it a bit longer to ensure everything is cooked through.
What can I substitute for skim milk?
You can substitute skim milk with unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, or any other plant-based milk for a dairy-free option. Alternatively, fruit juice can add a unique flavor profile; just keep in mind that it may alter the sweetness of the batter slightly.
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. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time, as ovens may vary. The edges should also start to pull away slightly from the sides of the baking dish.
