Healthy Blueberry Cobbler
This healthy blueberry cobbler is a guilt-free dessert that’s bursting with fresh blueberries, a warm cinnamon-sugar topping, and less sugar than traditional recipes. Perfect for clean eating!
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Cooking spray
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- Dash of salt
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tsp cinnamon for topping
- 2 tsp sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the blueberries with cornstarch and lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Spray a 9-inch round baking dish or pie plate with cooking spray. Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
- Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. In a separate smaller bowl, mix the vegetable oil, vanilla, and egg whites, and pour them into the well.
- Stir the mixture just until it comes together—don’t overmix! Drop small spoonfuls of the batter over the blueberries to cover evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp cinnamon and 2 tsp sugar. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the blueberry mixture is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, ideally with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Use fresh blueberries for best results, and avoid frozen ones to prevent a runny texture. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
