Hi Everyone,
I am so excited for today’s recipe. I made this two weeks ago, and patiently waited to share it with you. Today for #SundaySupper we had to make a dish that we would use local ingredients or finds from the Farmers Market. I am always at the Farmers Market so today’s mission was easy! But then again, with all the wonderful produce, meats, fish and breads, it can be normally hard, but not for me today. I had this idea in my head since m Boss’s BBQ a few weeks ago. My Boss’s wife made a wonderful peach cobbler and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I needed some peach cobbler in my life, so that weekend, at 5am on Sunday morning I made this most wonderful treat! I am so loving it!!
This is my Lightened Up Peach and Blueberry Cobbler! Oh baby is this ever good! I had to control myself by not eating the whole batch! I love it and I used all local ingredients including the sweet honey. The cobbler is sweet, fresh and is so perfect with vanilla bean ice cream. Yum!! I don’t know what it is, but I am on a major peach kick. I normally not big on eating peaches, but there is something about them this year. They are sooooooo sweet, you barely need any sugar with it! Sigh…. I think I heart peaches!!!
For the topping, I made a cobbler topping that is pretty light. I didn’t want anything to bready, as much as I like bread, I just wanted fruit! The topping is made with whole wheat pastry flour, a pinch of sugar, Smart Balance Margarine and coconut milk. You can also make this dish vegan by using Earth Balance! 😉 Most cobbler recipes ask for whole milk or cream, but I opted on using coconut milk because it is pretty creamy and thicker that non-fat milk. It worked out like a charm.
For the fruit, I used 2 tablespoons of local honey, that tastes amazing, a pinch of stevia and cornstarch. I found my peaches pretty sweet, so I didn’t want to add to much sugar to them. For the topping, I made my batter and then poured it over my fruit and spread it with the back of my spoon. Here it is before putting it in the oven.
Here it is fresh out of the oven. I swear my eyes just about burst when I saw it. I am so proud of this cobbler. It’s the best one I have ever made and I have made cobbler before, but with my substitutions, it came together beautifully, plus it’s low on calories. It comes in at only 149 calories! That’s pretty good! Normal cobbler is around 300 – 400 calories if not more! If you just want to eat a serving of the fruit and skip the topping, you’re looking at 66 calories! I sometimes take the top off when I put it in my yogurt. Yes, I put this cobbler on my yogurt and ice cream. It’s so good in yogurt, dam now I want some!!
- 2 tbsp. honey
- ½ tsp. stevia (optional, depends on sweetness of fruit)
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch
- ½ tbsp. lemon juice
- 3 cups sliced peaches, peeled (peeling is optional) (4 large peaches)
- 1 cup blueberries
- TOPPING:
- 3 tbsp. Nuntaurals Presweet Tagatose or sugar
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1½ tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 3 tbsp. cold butter or margarine ( I used Smart Balance)
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton) or non-fat milk
- Preheat oven 350 degrees
- Spray a 11 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray; set a side.
- In a large bowl, combine honey,stevia, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Add the peaches and blueberries; toss to coat. Add fruit to prepared baking dish.
- For topping, in a small bowl, combine sugar, whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder and salt; cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs (I used my hands). Stir in coconut milk, until dough forms, do not over mix. Pour dough over fruit and spread with a back of a spoon.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden.
Ohhh I am excited to see what local finds everyone has. It’s so wonderful to explore other areas and see what they specialize in. Whenever I travel anywhere, I always scope out what is local there. You know local goods are always the best!! Then I stock up if I can and bring it home!!
Well my Friends, I am off to do some more cooking. I am on a roll today!
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
Toodles,
Jennifer

This is indeed a keeper recipe, Jennifer. I appreciate the very low content of honey (which I imagine enhances the peaches perfectly.) Love whole wheat pastry flour in the crumble, too. It always add such a nice, nutty texture..Congratulations on this fabulous creation, Jennifer!
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
The honey and the fruit go so well together, adds a nice flavor! Thank you for the compliment! 🙂
debie grace says
I want to try this one. Thank you for sharing this recipe. 😀
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
Your welcome! 🙂 Have a nice rest of the day!
Marie @ Little Kitchie says
This is absolutely gorgeous!! And I can’t believe how light it is – will have to try this for sure!
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
Thank you Marie! I just love these kind of desserts!
Sophia @ NY Foodgasm says
Yummm yummmm yummmm! This looks delish! You get so creative with your healthy recipes! I want some of this now!
Susan says
This sounds wonderful. We generally don’t eat desserts, but we do eat snacks with Greek yogurt and fruit. These peaches sound perfect. For those who have not yet discovered Greek yogurt with fruit, it’s a wonderful snack.
Jen @JuanitasCocina says
LOVE that you lightened this dish! Now I can eat it and not feel so guilty!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
I adore peaches & blueberries together. This looks fabulous!
The Wimpy Vegetarian says
I love your minimal use of sugar/honey/stevia ! Let the fruit shine ! When fruit is at it’s peak, it has enough wonderful sugar content all by itself. And I love your topping with the coconut milk. I’m going to use this recipe on my next cobbler.
Wendy (The Weekend Gourmet) says
Cobbler is a staple here in Texas, but our peach season wasn’t good this year…we had a late cold snap :(. I’ve been having to use berries or apples instead…great, but nothing is quite like peach cobbler!!
Paula @ Vintage Kitchen Notes says
I just love how the dough blankets the filling! And coconut milk, that´s a brilliant idea Jennifer! Peaches and blueberries go so well together. Really gorgeous recipe.
Alaiyo Kiasi-Barnes says
I loved that you made this a light recipe, and it looks so easy. The photos are lovely. I pinned your feature photo to the “Berry Love” group board on Pinterest.
Stacy says
Any kind of cobbler is comfort food. Warm, sweet peaches and blueberries with a lovely topping like yours would be perfect with a little ice cream. Or heavy cream. At our house, we tend to put lashings of heavy pouring cream on everything. I love the way you’ve lightened things up, Jennifer, but still made it delicious.
Liz says
Your cobbler is making my mouth water…and you’d never guess it was a lightened up version! Beautifully done!
Rayna says
This is so pretty! I always love a good cobbler.
Laura Dembowski says
What a great summer treat! It’s funny I usually am all about peaches and don’t eat many nectarines, but this year the nectarines are so yummy! So now I just eat both 🙂
Debra Elliott says
Yummy blueberries and peaches
Sarah says
What a winning combination… love the low sugar option too
Renee Dobbs (@reneedobbs) says
I think you have the servings wrong. It should be “Serves 1” for people like me who could probably eat the whole thing. #CobblerLove
Emily @ Life on Food says
I am loving all of the fruit this summer. No better way to use it than in a cobbler.
Katy says
This looks absolutely wonderful – I am pinning and making this asap! I bet the wholewheat crust is delicious.
heather @girlichef says
So, is it okay if I pair a fattening scoop of ice cream with this!? Mmmmmm…..
Sally says
Oh my gosh! I love love love peaches and blueberries together! I like to put both in my oatmeal. I would love this cobbler!
Camille says
Oh, it turned out beautifully! You just never know, do you? I’m sure it tasted just as delicious as it looks.
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
Nothing feels better when you try a recipe and it turns out! 🙂 Nothing worse when you need to post a recipe and nothing turns out. lol
Nancy @ gottagetbaked says
WHAT?! 149 calories?! Jennifer, both my tastebuds and waistline thank you for this recipe (and it’s rare that ever happens!). Your cobbler is gorgeous and I bet it tasted amazing.
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
Thank you Nancy! You really can’t go wrong with blueberries and peaches! 🙂
Laura | Small Wallet, Big Appetite says
I love peach and blueberry together this looks delicious
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
Thanks Laura! I love this combination of fruit too!
Shannon R says
Your cobbler looks divine. I can’t believe the calorie count! Woop!
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
Thanks Shannon! 🙂
Emma says
Looks delicious! I love making crumbles and cobblers with summer fruits; the juices taste amazing with ice-cream or yoghurt. x
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
I agree! I had my cobbler with yogurt! I just love summer berries!
Norma @ Allspice and Nutmeg says
Oh this looks fabulous. I love cobblers and a lightened up version is a win-win!
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
Thank you Norma! 🙂
Lori @ Foxes Love Lemons says
You made this at 5am? If I would have made this at 5am, I probably would have mixed up sugar and salt, and yeah…it would not turn out nearly as gorgeous. Pass me a plate of this, please!!
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
I’m an early bird! I get up at 3:30 am M-F for work and on the weekends, no matter what time I go to bed, I always get up around 3:30 – 4am. It’s crazy I know!!
Jane's Adventures in Dinner says
Well, I know what we’ll have for dessert tonight C:
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
Ahhhm thanks Jane, let me know what you think!
Sarah | Curious Cuisiniere says
Love the blueberry and peach combo! Beautiful!
