Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup skim milk
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, and lemon zest. Stir gently to mix the ingredients, then spread the blueberry mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water, then drizzle over the blueberries. This will help thicken the blueberry juices during baking.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Add the skim milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly over the blueberries in the baking dish. Do not worry if it doesn’t cover all the blueberries as it will spread while baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the fruit juices to thicken properly.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of low-fat vanilla yogurt or frozen yogurt.
