Description

Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 3/4 cup hot water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray an 8×8 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, granulated sugar, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour this batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the light brown sugar, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Sprinkle this sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
- Add Hot Water: Carefully and slowly pour the 1 3/4 cups of hot water over the brown sugar mixture. The water will seep through and create a delicious syrup as the cobbler bakes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes until the cobbler is set and bubbly.
- Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly, then serve warm. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an irresistible dessert.
Notes
- Be sure to pour the hot water slowly to prevent disturbing the sugar topping too much.
- Use a baking dish of 8×8 inches for even cooking and correct thickness.
- Serving warm with vanilla ice cream enhances the flavors and texture.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version, but adjust sweetness as needed.
