Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Mix flour, sugar, and fat-free mayonnaise together by hand until well combined; the dough will be sticky.
- Lightly spray a glass square dish with Pam spray.
- Press half of the dough into the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Spread blueberries evenly over the dough.
- Drop the remaining dough by spoonfuls over the blueberries.
- Mix vanilla flavoring with skim milk and pour evenly over the cobbler.
- Bake at 375°F for about 45 minutes or until the top crust is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter alternative, consider using a whole wheat flour for added fiber without compromising taste. If you're out of fat-free mayonnaise, you can substitute with unsweetened applesauce for a similar texture. To enhance the flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough. Ensure the blueberries are washed and dried thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the cobbler.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the blueberry cobbler warm, topped with a dollop of nonfat yogurt or a scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Grandma'S Rice Custard for a comforting dessert spread. For a refreshing twist, serve with a side of fresh whipped cream or a drizzle of honey.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. For a crispier topping, reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, keeping it covered with foil to prevent over-browning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture. This will help maintain the texture of the cobbler. Adjust the baking time slightly, as frozen berries can cause the cobbler to take a bit longer to set.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You may also gently shake the dish; if it jiggles slightly in the center, it may need a few more minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-baking.
Can I add other fruits to this recipe?
Absolutely! You can mix in other berries like raspberries or strawberries, or even diced peaches or apples for a different flavor profile. Just remember to adjust the sweetness if you're adding sweeter fruits to maintain balance in the dish.
