Healthier Blueberry Peach Cobbler
This blueberry peach cobbler combines two of the best summer fruits into the ultimate dessert. It's so easy to put together and uses simple, nutritious ingredients. This cobbler is made with less sugar than most desserts, and really lets the fresh fruit shine!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
For the fruit mixture:
- 2 cups peaches or nectarines (around 3-4 large peaches) peeled and sliced into thin wedges
- 2 1/2 cups blueberries
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon whole wheat or all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional
For the cobbler topping:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt see notes for substitutes
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
For the fruit mixture:
- In a 9x13 baking dish, combine the peaches, blueberries, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and lemon juice. Stir until everything is well combined. Set aside.
For the cobbler topping:
- In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Add the cubed butter and work into the flour with fingers or a pastry cutter until mixture has coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl or measuring glass, mix the milk, yogurt, and vanilla extract together. Pour into the flour mixture and stir until just combined (do not over mix!) Spoon dollops of the dough on top of the fruit mixture, leaving some gaps for the fruit to show through. Optionally sprinkle the cobbler with 2 teaspoons of sugar. Bake until the topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling, around 35-45 minutes.
- Let cobbler cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
If you are using frozen fruit, allow the fruit to thaw completely before proceeding with the recipe as normal.
The quickest and easiest way I have found to peel fresh peaches is to blanch them for 60 seconds in boiling water and then immediately transferring them to a bowl of ice water. The peels should slip right off!
If you don't have Greek yogurt, feel free to substitute plain yogurt, sour cream, or 2 tablespoons of heavy cream/milk. You can also substitute 3/4 cup buttermilk for the milk and yogurt.
