YUM *Cobbler*


This recipe for Pear-Cranberry Cobblers, by Kerri Conan, was lifted from the Net and looks to be scrumptious:

1/3 cup steel-cut oats
2 large pears (about 1 pound), peeled, cored and cut into chunks
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons low-fat vanilla yogurt

Heat oven to 375°. Place four 8-ounce ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and coat each with cooking spray. Place oats in a bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons boiling water; cover and steep about 10 minutes. Divide pears and cranberries among ramekins. Mix next 5 ingredients in a bowl. Stir egg and sugar into oats; add flour mixture and yogurt. Stir but don't over-mix. Spoon batter over fruit and spray tops with cooking spray. Bake until topping browns and puffs, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.
Please Note: I've tried this, revised to my liking, and posted an update here.
