Ingredients
Scale
Batter:
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Berry Topping:
- 4 cups mixed berries of choice (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Stir in milk, egg, and canola oil until the mixture forms a thick batter.
- Grease Slow Cooker and Add Batter: Lightly grease a 2.5 to 4-quart slow cooker and spread the batter evenly in the bottom.
- Prepare Berries: If using frozen berries, thaw and drain them first. In another large bowl, mix together the berries, 1 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup flour until well combined.
- Add Berry Mixture to Slow Cooker: Spread the berry mixture evenly over the batter layer in the slow cooker.
- Cook the Cobbler: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the high setting for 2 to 3 hours. Cook closer to 2 hours if using fresh berries, or about 2.5 to 3 hours if berries were thawed. The cobbler is done when the batter is set and the berries are bubbly.
- Serve: Serve the cobbler warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.
