Super Fast, Very Delicious, Fruit Dessert Cobbler

(Note - 2 recipes are on this page. One with cake mix, one without)

Customer Jackie Hall recommended that we use a cake mix for a super quick, great tasting, VERY easy recipe. (And she was right!) This made a fantastic dessert which was gone immediately when friends dropped by. It has wonderful flavor and took 45 minutes from start until pulling out of the oven.

Jackie uses the traditional 1 and 1/2 sticks of yummy butter in her recipe! We opted for something with Omega Three fatty acids instead. Need a delicious, inexpensive dessert in a jiffy? Try adapting Jackie’s recipe with fruit to come up with your own cobbler. Instead of using the butter, we experimented with a ripe banana and Canola oil.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pints of Strawberries (more is better)

Non-Stick Cooking Spray

2 tbsp Canola Oil

1 ripe Banana

1 yellow or butter flavored cake mix

1. Spray baking pan with non-stick cooking oil.

2. Slice berries and place in bottom of pan.

3. Cream Canola Oil and Banana until smooth.

4. Add cake mix, blending until just moist, about 30-60 seconds. It will will resemble thick pie crust dough.

5. Spoon on top of berries.

6. Bake at 325F for 35 minutes or until golden on top.

Serve warm or cool, plain or with yogurt, whipped cream or ice cream.

One medium banana contains 60mg of Omega Three fatty acid, no cholesterol, 1/3 the daily needed Vitamin C, 41% the daily recommended Folate, 15% Magnesium, 23% Potassium and 30% Manganese. There are several other vitamins and minerals present in Bananas. The drawback to using a banana in place of butter is that bananas are high in sugars and carbohydrates.

The second recipe does not use a cake mix. To be honest, the flavor is not nearly as yummy, but it does not contain all the flavor enhancers and additives, either.

Need a delicious, inexpensive dessert in a jiffy? Try this fruit cobbler recipe. Instead of using the butter, we experimented with a ripe banana and Canola oil. For a sweeter cobbler, we recommend sprinkling sugar or cinnamon sugar on top of the cobbler before it is baked.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pints of Strawberries

Non-Stick Cooking Spray

2 tbsp Canola Oil

1 ripe Banana

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 cups splenda or sugar

1 tsp natural vanilla

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1. Spray baking pan with non-stick cooking oil.

2. Slice berries and place in bottom of pan.

3. Cream Canola Oil, Banana, vanilla, baking powder, salt and sugar in mixer until smooth.

4. Add flour, blending until just moist, about 30-60 seconds. It will will resemble thick pie crust dough.

5. Crumble on top of berries.

6. Bake at 325F for 35 minutes or until golden on top.

Serve warm or cool, plain or with yogurt, whipped cream or ice cream.

Super Easy Fruit Cobbler - using fresh or frozen fruit

Featured blueberry cobbler with Greek Yogurt

Cobbler is one of those forgiving desserts because it doesn’t have to come out of the pan perfectly shaped. Normally, it is spoon-served onto a dish or in a bowl.

Toppings consist of whipped cream, ice cream, more fruit, or yogurt. Sometimes, no extra topping is even needed! 

Depending on the items used in your cobbler, it may even be served for breakfast. It's a great way of integrating a serving of fruit into your family's meals.

This recipe is very quick, and quite easy. 

Mix your fruits, or use all the same. Add nuts if your family enjoys them. 

Ever have a few left over apples, berries, peaches, raisins, (and so forth), in your refrigerator or freezer? This is a great way of using them up.
