We had bought some blueberries on sale, and after snacking on some & making blueberry pancakes. Curt requested that I bake something up with the rest of them. As good as my mom's muffins are, he was kind of wanting something else-maybe with a crumb topping he said. So I literally googled "blueberry bar with crumb topping" or "blueberry with crumb topping" and sorted through results-and decided on this...Blueberry Cobbler. The results: super easy, had all the ingredients on hand, and super tasty.
Blueberry Cobbler
Ingredients:
1/3 c light brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
(zest of 1 lemon called for, I didn't have this & did not add it)
1/2 c cold butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 c fresh blueberries
1/3 c light brown sugar (2/3 c total)
1 tbsp flour
Directions:
-Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray an 8x8inch pan with cooking spray
-Combine 1/3 c brown sugar, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
-Cut in cold butter until mixture is coarse
-Add egg and mix just until blended
-Pat 2/3 of dough into prepared pan
-Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes
-Remove the pan & let cool for 10 minutes
-Turn oven down to 375 degrees
-Combine remaining 1/3 c brown sugar, 1 tbsp flour, and blueberries, & sprinkle over crust
-Crumble remaining mixture over the blueberries
-Bake at 375 degrees for 30 mins or until top is lightly browned
-Allow to cool before cutting.
This was soooo tasty warm, but equally as delicious at room temperature- the topping has a little crunch and a nice sweetness. Adding the lemon zest would make it a little more tart & fitting for the blueberries, but it was great without it! I didn't get pictures taken until the day after-so that's why it's half gone already. The fact that on Curt's first bite he couldn't manage words, only shake his head & motion at the cobbler was satisfying enough for me. I'm thinking now I should try different fruits- raspberry anyone? mmmm. enjoy :)
