Healthy Peach Cobbler
A healthy peach cobbler is an old-fashioned, crowd-pleasing dessert that showcases summer's sweet produce. Use fresh peaches when they are in season. The rest of the year, you can use frozen peaches for a quick and easy homemade dessert.
Ingreadients :
- 1 ¼ pounds fresh peaches (3-4 large), peeled, if desired, and thinly sliced, or 4 cups sliced frozen peaches, thawed
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup white whole-wheat flour
- ½ cup cornmeal
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Step by Step :
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- To prepare filling: Combine peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a large bowl; toss to coat. Transfer to a 9-inch shallow glass or ceramic baking dish.
- To prepare topping: Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until well blended. Whisk egg, buttermilk, oil and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to blend.
- Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Evenly spoon the batter over top of the peach mixture. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the topping. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake until the peaches are bubbly, the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the topping comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
