Blueberry or Blackberry Cobbler

This classic dessert, a delectable cobbler abundant with blueberries or blackberries, is delicious on its own or with nondairy  ice cream.

Serves: 6 to 8

• 1 pint fresh blueberries or blackberries
• 2 tablespoons natural granulated sugar

Batter:

• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/3 cup natural granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds, optional
• 2/3 cup applesauce or nondairy yogurt
• 1 tablespoon safflower oil
• 2 tablespoons plain or vanilla nondairy milk, or as needed

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Wash the berries and make sure that all small stems are removed. In a mixing bowl, toss them with a little less than half the sugar. Place the berries in a lightly oiled 9-by-9-inch baking pan.

Combine the first 4 (dry) batter ingredients plus the optional flaxseeds and stir together.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and stir in the applesauce, oil, and enough nondairy milk to make a smooth and slightly stiff batter. Stir until the wet and dry ingredients are completely mixed.

Pour the batter over the fruit and pat in evenly with the help of a baking spatula. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top of the batter is golden.
