Easy Strawberry Cobbler
A warm, comforting dessert featuring sweet strawberries beneath a golden, buttery crust, perfect for sharing with family.
Ingredients
Filling
- 4 cups Fresh Strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (for filling) Adjust for sweetness
Batter
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted (plus some for greasing)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (optional for brightness)
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (remaining for batter)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare your ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped strawberries and half of the granulated sugar (½ cup). Allow them to sit while you prepare the batter.
Batter Making
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining granulated sugar. Then, add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps!
Baking
- Use some melted butter to grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the batter into the dish evenly, and then gently spoon the strawberry mixture on top of the batter.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the top turns golden and the filling is bubbly.
Serving
- Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
Substitute sugar with alternatives like honey or agave for a more natural sweetness. For a gluten-free option, try using almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. Keep an eye on the cobbler as it bakes for the perfect golden hue. Avoid overmixing the batter; it should be lumpy for the best texture.
