Description

Whole wheat blackberry cobbler is a hearty version of the traditional cobbler recipe thanks to whole wheat flour used in place of all-purpose.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh blackberries
1 cup white sugar
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, cut into small chunks
1/2 cup milk, or more as needed

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil an 8-inch square or 8-inch round baking dish.
2 Combine blackberries and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan. Whisk warm water and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; stir into blackberries. Bring blackberry mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until berries break down and thicken, 5 to 10 minutes.
3 Whisk flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your hands until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir milk into flour-butter mixture until a smooth, thick batter forms.
4 Pour berry mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of batter over the berries.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until a firm and golden crust forms, 30 to 40 minutes.
