Summer isn't over yet! Use up those leftover peaches in this delicious Blueberry Peach Cobbler!
Blueberry Peach Cobbler...
In this blueberry peach cobbler recipe, I decided to kick it up a notch and throw in some antioxidant rich blueberries! With the addition of these blue beauties, this cobbler is the perfect summer dessert! I am still new to baking and decided to use a dessert with more fiber. Using whole wheat flour made it a little bit more dense than the normal biscuit-like version; I preferred this over white flour for more fiber. If you prefer a more original biscuit texture, use all-purpose flour and decrease the baking powder to 1 ½ teaspoons. Most recipes toss the fruit in sugar, I used maple syrup for more flavor and less refined sugar in this recipe.
Life's a Peach!
Is it the color, the juiciness, or the taste that draws you to these beautiful fruits? Besides the fruit itself, I'm also a fan of peach roses, peach bellinis, and peach blush! I haven't had the chance to taste a Georgia peach just yet, but I am fortunate to be in the same state as the Palisade peach. At the Boulder Farmer's Market, you will see a long line of people waiting to buy a box (yes a box).
Rich in vitamins A and C, these stone fruits make a tasty addition to any salad or dessert. Want to enjoy them fresh as is? Try peaches grilled and boost their natural sweetness!
Wishing you a healthy and happy rest of the summer! Next will be hot cider, roasted vegetables, and pumpkin everything!
