Jason’s Whole Wheat Blackberry Cobbler

Ingredients

• Fruit:
• 2 cups fresh blackberries
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• Cobbler Batter:
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter, cut into small chunks
• 1/2 cup milk, or more as needed

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil an 8-inch square or 8-inch round baking dish.

Combine blackberries and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan. Whisk warm water and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; stir into blackberries. Bring blackberry mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until berries break down and thicken, 5 to 10 minutes.

Whisk flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your hands until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir milk into flour-butter mixture until a smooth, thick batter forms.

Pour berry mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of batter over the berries.

Bake in the preheated oven until a firm and golden crust forms, 30 to 40 minutes.
