This easy cobbler is a great way to use up any fresh, in-season blueberries you have but frozen blueberries are also a perfectly fine option. It’s very low in added sugar for a dessert — with most sweetness coming from the antioxidant-rich blueberries — yet it’s just sweet enough, clocking in around 200 calories and providing healthy fiber from oats and whole-wheat flour, as well as the blueberries.

Total Time: 4 hours Active Time: 15 minutes

230-Calorie Slow-Cooker Blueberry-Ginger Oat Cobbler

Ingredients

For the filling

  • 6 cups (800g) fresh (or frozen and thawed) blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the topping

  • 3/4 cup (60g) instant oats
  • 1/2 cup (78g) whole-wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold

Directions

For the filling

In a 5–6-quart slow cooker, stir together the filling ingredients. Cover and cook on high 1 hour.

For the topping

While filling cooks, prepare topping. In a large bowl, stir together oats, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Cut butter into small pieces. Add butter to dry ingredients and use your fingers to gently pinch and knead the mixture until a crumbly dough forms.

After filling has cooked for 1 hour, scatter the topping evenly over the filling in the slow cooker (there will be some large pieces and some crumbs). Cover and cook an additional 2 1/2 hours on high, until filling is bubbly and thick and topping is cooked through.
