There is nothing quite like warm summer days and fresh fruit cobbler to make everything in the world seem just right. Winter works too, snuggled under the covers on the couch with a generous helping! But how do you make an American classic without the starchy, sugary unhealthy ingredients?
Enjoy on a patio with a nice glass of red wine or your favorite evening brew. Serves 4-5.
Ingredients:
Blueberry filling
- 3 x cups of cleaned blueberries
- 3 x tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 x teaspoons of corn or tapioca starch
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
- Touch of salt
Crust
- ½ cup wheat flour
- ¼ cup raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons of coconut oil
- Touch of salt
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 celsius).
- Combine your crust and filling in two different mixing bowls.
- You can make one giant cobbler or place a bit of mixture into individual ramekin by first layering the bottom of your baking dish with the blueberry mixture and then topping it with the crust mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until you see your blueberry mixture bubble from under the crust.
Top your cobbler with a dollop of Greek yogurt or your favourite frozen yogurt. Greek yogurt will not only provide protein and calcium, it has natural probiotics to aid your gut health.
You can choose to also add in collagen protein peptides into the blueberry mixture before baking. Collagen supports your skin, hair, bone, and digestive health while also supplying your body with pure protein.
If you wish to top your cobbler with Greek yogurt, consider soaking chia seeds in it prior. Chia seeds will absorb some of the moisture of the yogurt so consider adding a touch of water to the mix before letting it soak. Chia seeds are a superfood for their protein, fiber, and omega-3 benefits. They have also been known to aid in weight loss efforts.
