Strawberry Cobbler

The ultimate splurge course of any meal. Whether it’s at home or a restaurant, I usually always feel guilty afterwards. The beltline is already a little tight thanks to your appetizer and entree. The drowsy eyes are a not so subtle reminder that the food coma is not far around the corner. But in spite of all that, you can’t help but indulge in the great diet destroyer…dessert.
This particular recipe started off as an attempt (I use that word very loosely) to try and make a somewhat healthy dessert recipe. I abandoned that fairly quickly and this is what was left.
Cobbler; be it strawberry, blueberry, or peach is a childhood favorite of mine. So if you’re anything like me, in addition to the splurging, you get a great sense of nostalgia on the side.
Ingredients and Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit while you work on the strawberry mixture and batter.
Strawberry Mixture
- About 3 cups strawberries sliced
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for about five minutes until sugar is melted. Set aside.
Batter
Dry
- 1/2 cup of AP flour
- 1/2 cup of self rising flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
Whisk all dry ingredients together in a small bowl.
Wet
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla greek yogurt
- 6 tablespoons of melted butter
Whisk all wet ingredients together in a large bowl. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well.
Melt one tablespoon of butter in an 8×8 baking dish in the oven. Carefully remove pan from oven and spread batter gently into melted butter. Spoon strawberry mixture onto the top of the batter. Bake for about thirty minutes until brown on top and knife, when inserted, comes out clean.
