Ingredients
For The Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For The Topping:
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Organic Light Brown Sugar
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat And Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix The Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Add The Topping
In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the batter.
Step 4: Pour The Hot Water
Carefully pour the hot water over the entire dish—do not stir. This step helps create the gooey cobbler texture as it bakes.
Step 5: Bake
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set. The cobbler will be soft underneath, with a caramel-like sauce forming at the bottom.
Step 6: Cool And Serve
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
