Ingredients You’ll Need

Unsalted butter: You’ll need 3 tablespoons, which adds that rich, buttery flavor we all love. Don’t worry – we’re using less than traditional recipes!

Neutral oil: 3 tablespoons of canola or avocado oil helps keep this cobbler moist while cutting down on butter. Either oil works great!

Whole-wheat flour: 1 cup gives us more fiber and nutrition than regular flour. You won’t even taste the difference, I promise!

Baking powder: 1½ teaspoons helps the batter puff up beautifully around the fruit as it bakes.

Salt: ½ teaspoon brings out all the sweet flavors. Don’t skip this!

Reduced-fat milk: 1 cup creates that tender, cake-like texture. Regular milk works too if that’s what you have.

Sugar: ½ cup is just enough sweetness to let the fruit shine through.

Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon adds that warm, cozy flavor that makes everything better.

Peaches: 3 ripe but firm peaches (about 1 pound), sliced into eighths. Frozen works great too – just use 3½ cups!

Blueberries: 2 cups of fresh or frozen berries add beautiful color and sweet-tart flavor.

How to Make Peach & Blueberry Cobbler

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the butter and oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or 9×13-inch baking pan. Pop it in the oven until melted and smelling amazing, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 2: While that’s heating, grab a large bowl and mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add the milk, sugar, and vanilla, then stir until everything comes together nicely.

Step 3: Carefully take your hot pan out of the oven. Add the melted butter mixture to your batter and stir it all up. Pour this batter right back into that hot pan – it’ll sizzle a bit!

Step 4: Now for the fun part! Spoon your peach slices and blueberries evenly over the batter. Don’t worry about making it perfect – rustic looks beautiful!

Step 5: Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the batter around the fruit is completely set. Let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving warm.

Easy and Quick Peach & Blueberry Cobbler Version

Want to save some time? You can use 6 cups of frozen mixed peaches and blueberries straight from the bag! No need to thaw them first. Just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time since the frozen fruit will cool things down a bit. This shortcut works perfectly and tastes just as amazing!

Serving Ideas

This cobbler is absolutely perfect on its own, but a scoop of vanilla ice cream never hurt anyone! Try serving it with some fresh whipped cream or even a drizzle of heavy cream. For a special touch, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few fresh mint leaves on top.

Storage

Store your leftover cobbler covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, pop individual servings in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, or warm the whole pan in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes. It tastes amazing cold too – perfect for breakfast with your coffee!

Substitutions

No peaches? Try sliced apples, pears, or even strawberries instead! You can swap the blueberries for blackberries or raspberries too. If you only have all-purpose flour, that works fine – just use the same amount. Regular milk can replace the reduced-fat milk without any problems.

Pro Tips

• Cast iron magic: A cast-iron skillet gives you the most beautiful, crispy edges and keeps everything warm longer.
• Fruit prep: Make sure your peaches are ripe but still firm – too soft and they’ll get mushy during baking.
• Don’t overmix: Stir the batter just until combined. A few lumps are totally fine!
• Test for doneness: The batter should spring back lightly when touched, and you shouldn’t see any wet batter around the fruit.

FAQs

Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?

You bet! You can assemble the whole thing and keep it covered in the fridge for up to 4 hours before baking. Just add an extra 5 minutes to the baking time since it’ll be starting cold.

What if I don’t have a cast-iron skillet?

No worries at all! A 9×13-inch baking dish works perfectly. You’ll get the same delicious results, just without those extra-crispy edges that cast iron gives you.

Can I use canned peaches?

Sure! Drain them really well first and use about 3 cups. Canned peaches are softer, so your cobbler might be a little more tender, but it’ll still taste wonderful.

Is this cobbler actually healthier?

Yes! Using whole wheat flour adds fiber, and the mix of butter and oil cuts down on saturated fat while keeping all that great flavor. Plus, it’s loaded with real fruit!
