Poor Man’s Cobbler

Homemade berry cobblers, like this Poor Man’s Cobber, are some of the easiest homemade desserts you can make!

Growing up in the far northwest corner of Oregon, which is also berry growing country, meant that we ate a lot of cobblers. They are one of the desserts from my childhood that I remember the most.

Since they remind me of my childhood, they have become a comfort food of sorts for me and I love making them.

I was so glad that I could feature this as part of my Cooking Through My Collection series. I don’t feature many ebooks for my cooking through my collection series, but this was one recipe that I knew I had to share.This recipe came from the Easy Homemade ebook. And be sure to check out Mandi’s site Life Your Way for other great recipes and ideas.

I made a blueberry version for my family and we loved it. It was gone in one evening. My son ate a good portion of it he loved it so much.

The recipe calls for regular flour, but since it does not have that much flour in it, I just used a gluten-free flour blend and it worked fine for this. In fact, it turned out better than I thought it would with the gluten-free flour blend. It will definitely be a recipe we make again and again. Especially since we have blueberry bushes.

We always have a lot of blueberries during the summer and I freeze them so that we can use them in desserts like this throughout the year. Cobblers work perfectly for using up some of the blueberries.
