Busy Mom Peach Cobbler
This recipe is so simple that even if you’re juggling a toddler, a work-from-home job, and a constantly barking dog, you can still whip this up without losing your marbles. It’s sweet, it’s fruity, and it’s calling your name!
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of fresh or canned peaches (drained if using canned, because we don’t want any watery disasters)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for sweetness to make you forget your chaos)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (because we need some structure here)
- 1 cup milk (to keep things moist and dreamy)
- 1/2 cup melted butter (more butter, less problems)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (for that perfect rise)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (because life without vanilla is just plain sad)
- Pinch of salt (like your sanity, just a tiny bit will do)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grab that trusty baking dish. We’re going to make some magic happen!
- In a bowl, mix your peaches with half a cup of sugar. Let those beauties sit for about 10 minutes so they can get to know the sugar and become divine.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla, and mix until combined. Don’t worry if it looks a bit lumpy; it adds character!
- Pour the batter into your dish and then lovingly place the peaches on top. Resist the urge to mix it all up—this is a cobbler, not a smoothie!
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kitchen smells like a slice of heaven. Just don’t let it cool—trust me, you’ll want to dive in before anyone else can say “I’m hungry!”
- Serve warm, topped with a scoop of ice cream if you’re feeling fancy—and you totally deserve it!
There you have it! A fabulous peach cobbler that’s easier than negotiating bedtime and certainly more satisfying than folding laundry. Enjoy your well-deserved slice of happiness!
