Healthy Cherry Cobbler

A gooey sweet, fresh cherry filling baked with a cobbler topping that’s crisp on the outside & like a soft vanilla cake on the inside? 😋 And is easy to make & made with healthier ingredients? 🙌 Plus, makes great use of nutrient-rich cherries that are in-season in May? 🍒 I'm hooked, & know you will be too!

For the cherry filling, in a saucepan, combine:

-4 cups cherries, pitted

-2 tbsp lemon juice

-1/4 cup vanilla protein powder

-1/4 cup coconut sugar

-1 tbsp cornstarch

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat & simmer for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is thickened slightly. Transfer to an oiled baking pan.

For the cobbler topping, in a bowl, mix:

-1 1/4 cup almond flour

-1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

-1/3 cup cornstarch

-1 1/2 tsp baking powder

-1/2 tsp cinnamon

-1/4 tsp salt

Then, stir in:

-1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

-1/4 cup maple syrup 

-1/4 cup almond milk

Scoop tablespoons of dough, flatten with your hands, & evenly spread over the cherry layer. Bake at 375 degrees for about 25-30 minutes, until the cherries are bubbly & topping is golden brown. Delicious on its own, or served with some greek yogurt or a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy!
