Ingredients
For the Filling:
4 cups fresh or canned peaches, sliced (if using canned, ensure they are in 100% juice)
1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjusted to reduce SmartPoints)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Topping:
1 cup whole wheat flour (using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose to increase fiber)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (reduced to lower fat content)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat Your Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
Prepare the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir gently to coat the peaches evenly. The cornstarch will thicken the peach juices as they bake, creating a rich filling.
Transfer to Baking Dish:
Lightly grease a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking dish with a small amount of oil butter. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.
Prepare the Topping:
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Add Wet Ingredients:
Stir in 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the topping light and fluffy.
Pour Over the Filling:
Carefully pour the topping over the peach filling. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring it covers the peach mixture completely.
Bake the Cobbler:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The topping should be golden brown, and the peach filling should be bubbling around the edges.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. This cooling time helps the filling to set, making it easier to serve. Enjoy warm, possibly with a scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream or a dollop of light whipped cream.
Tips for a Perfect Cobbler
Choosing Peaches: Fresh peaches are ideal, but canned peaches in 100% juice are a great alternative. If using fresh peaches, peel them first for a smoother texture.
Adjusting Sweetness: You can taste the peach mixture before baking and adjust the sugar if necessary. If the peaches are particularly sweet, you may reduce the amount of sugar.
Thickening the Filling: The cornstarch will help thicken the peach juices. For a thicker filling, you can increase the cornstarch by an extra tablespoon.
Topping Variations: Add a sprinkle of rolled oats or a handful of chopped nuts to the topping mixture for extra texture and flavor.
Serving Suggestions: Enjoy this cobbler on its own or with a cup of tea or coffee. It also pairs well with a light ww yogurt or a drizzle of almond milk.
