September Recipe of the Month: Soylicious® Peach Cobbler
Nothing says summer in the south like peach cobbler.
When I developed a serious allergy to dairy, I thought my cobbler days were over (along with chicken enchiladas, lasagna, and other favorites).
You can just imagine my relief when I discovered that soy milk bakes beautifully. This plant-based version of my family recipe has all the taste with NO cholesterol and 27% less saturated fat. Who knew?
Do you know someone that has a dairy allergy or wants to reduce saturated fat while still maintaining all of the yum?
Send them this recipe. They will thank you!
What a joy to make one last peach cobbler straight from the tree in early September.
A slice of heaven from the farm!
Saying Good-Bye to Summer with Classic Soylicious® Peach Cobbler Recipe
Prep Time: 10 minutes.
Bake Time: 45-60 Minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups sliced peaches (maybe a few more slices if you really like peaches!)
1 cup of water
2 cups of sugar
8 tablespoons of Smart Balance (plant-based buttery spread)
¾ cup self-rising flour
¾ cup soy milk
Directions:
STEP 1: Prepare and cook fresh peach mixture.
Put water and 1 cup of sugar in a small pot or saucepan and heat on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Slice fresh peaches, add to pot/pan, increase heat, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes.
STEP 2: Mix up the batter.
Mix the 1 cup of sugar and ¾ cup of self-rising flour in a bowl.
Slowly add the soy milk (to prevent lumps), stirring mixture after each addition of milk.
STEP 3: Create your cobbler!
Add Smart Balance to baking dish and place in preheated oven, allowing it to melt completely.
Remove baking dish from the oven and pour batter on top of the Smart Balance, distributing it around the baking dish (DO NOT Stir).
Spoon the cooked peaches across the top of the batter.
Slowly pour the remainder of the syrup from the pan on top of the peaches (don’t be afraid! The batter will rise to the top during baking and will absorb this liquid).
Bake for 45-60 minutes until golden brown and with the cobbler set.
ENJOY!
Note: This recipe can be used with almost any fresh fruit including apples, pears, berries, or fresh cherries. In a pinch, you can also use canned peaches in syrup. If using canned fruit in a heavy syrup you can skip the cooking step with the fruit, sugar, and water. It’s all good!
