Mmm, lots of berries for me this week! These recipes are timed very well for me, as berries are just coming into season in Texas. As I mentioned in a previous post, blueberries aren't plentiful here, but we are awash with blackberries and raspberries now. So I made the cobbler with fresh blackberries, raspberries, and frozen blueberries (i just couldn't make it without them, they're my favorite!)
I made 2 smaller cobblers from the recipe (so my husband and I could each have one). Since this treat is not very portable, I won't be sharing it at work tomorrow. Not that there will be any leftovers anyway, my husband and I both loved this recipe. Anything with fruit is usually a hit for this crowd.
I changed up the top a bit, adding some ground flaxseed and some wheatgerm for a little extra flavor and heathlyness. I also subbed out the sugar in the berries for 1 tablespoon of agave nectar, the berries are great on there own and didn't need much sweetness.

Flaxseed, wheat germ, and agave nectar? I am shocked that you found a way to make one of Dorie's recipes relatively healthy. Way to go!
It sounds so healthy and still looks so sinful! Great job.
The flax seeds were a good call. I'm fond of putting them in whatever I can.
Great idea for the flaxseed and wheat germ...I have some in my cupboard and I foresee another round of cobbler-making at my house. Your pictures look great!
Thanks... I love tips on making some of these more indulgent recipes a little healthier. Flax and wheat germ are GREAT ideas.
Very healthy indeed, yet still looks indulgent.
I love the additions to the crust - flax seed and wheat germ are things I always try to sneak into things. Beautiful cobbler!
You are already having blackberries? Ours just stopped blooming. Great looking pictures and a beautiful cobbler.

Wow, looks great and healthier too! I like the idea of the extra "crunch" in the topping from the flax seeds and wheat germ.
I love to cook with flax seeds although I've gotten out of the habit lately. Thanks for the reminder. The cobbler looks just dreamy!
Good call with the flaxseed! I will have to remember that next time. Good job!
Looks delicious! Great job! I saw that you are in Fort Worth, I'm in Dallas. Its always nice to see other Texas bakers!
That looks delicious! And slightly healthy. Hmmmm. Might work!
