For the batter:

• 6 Tablespoons of unsalted butter

• 1 cup of all-purpose flour

• 3/4 cup of granulated sugar

• 2 teaspoons of baking powder

Instructions:

(This is what it should look like after you assemble the fruit mixture and the batter!)

1. Prepare the Fruit:

   • Start by gently mashing the blueberries.

   • In a pan, combine the mashed blueberries with brown sugar and simmer on low until it forms a sauce-like consistency.

   • Add a splash of vanilla extract and fold in the peaches. Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, creating a flavorful fruit filling.

2. Make the Batter:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and as much ground cinnamon as you see fit.

   • Melt the unsalted butter and mix it in.

   • Pour in the milk of your choice (I use unsweetened vanilla oat milk) and mix until just combined.

3. Assemble and Bake:

   • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

   • Grease a baking pan and pour the batter in, spreading it evenly.

   • Spoon the fruit mixture over the batter, aiming for mostly solid parts.

4. Bake:

   • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the batter is cooked through.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.

   • Enjoy warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
