Blackberry Skillet Cobbler

Last year I missed out on the entire blackberry season. I had a woman all lined up to sell them to me, and the she told me the rain 'did them in'. I was so disappointed! So this year I promised myself I was getting blackberries and put my 'order' in early!   I was so excited to make this that I forgot to takes pictures along the way. But that's ok......you get the idea!  This was so easy to make and the berries weren't as 'seedy' as I expected.  So go get some blackberries and enjoy this!!!

BLACKBERRY SKILLET COBBLER

Makes 8 Servings

1 Serving = 3 PointsPlus®

½ cup (1 stick) light butter
4 cups fresh blackberries
1 cup Splenda granulated (plus ¼ cup if the berries aren't sweet)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of fine sea salt
½ tsp cinnamon
1 cup fat-free milk
1 tsp vanilla
Fat-free whipped topping

Preheat oven to 350°.

Melt butter in a large cast-iron skillet or ovenproof baking dish in the oven for @5 minutes.

In the meantime, place the blackberries in a large bowl and mash using a potato masher. This will release the juice. If the blackberries are tart, sprinkle with the ¼ cup Splenda granulated..

In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add 1 cup Splenda, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Remove the skillet from the oven and pour the melted butter to the flour mixture. Stir to combine. Pour this mixture into the skillet and then pour the blackberries and the juice into the center of the batter.

Place the skillet in the oven and bake @an hour.

 

This can be served hot, warm or at room temperature; as-is, with fat-free whipped topping or ice cream. If you serve with ice cream, you'll have to figure the P+ for it.

MY SPIN: I made this in an 11 3/4” skillet. The next time I make it I'm going to use my 10” skillet and probably add more cinnamon.
