Batter Ingredients
- 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, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir in 1/4 cup milk, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons canola oil until the batter is thick and well combined.
- Grease the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease a 2.5-4 quart slow cooker to prevent sticking. Spread the prepared batter evenly on the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Prepare the Berries: If using frozen berries, thaw and drain them well. In another large bowl, mix 4 cups of mixed berries with 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup flour until the berries are well coated.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Spread the berry mixture evenly over the batter layer in the slow cooker.
- Cook the Cobbler: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours. For fresh berries, aim closer to 2 hours; for thawed frozen berries, cook 2.5 to 3 hours. The cobbler is done when the batter is set and the berries are bubbling.
- Serve: Serve the warm cobbler with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream if desired for an extra indulgent treat.
