Okay, so, I’ve been craving something sweet and fruity lately, and I remembered this super easy peach cobbler recipe I tried a while back. It’s not your grandma’s cobbler, that’s for sure, because the secret ingredient is… pancake mix! Yeah, you heard that right. I was skeptical at first, too, but trust me, it works, and it’s a lifesaver when you want a quick dessert without all the fuss.
First things first, I grabbed a couple of cans of sliced peaches in heavy syrup. You could totally use fresh peaches if it’s the season, but honestly, canned works just fine for this. I dumped the peaches, syrup and all, into a baking dish. It’s important to not drain the peaches, the syrup adds to the flavor.
Next, I took out a box of pancake mix – the complete kind, where you just add water. I measured out about a cup and a half of the mix and sprinkled it evenly over the peaches. No mixing, no bowls, just straight from the box to the dish. It felt kinda wrong, but also kinda awesome.
Then came the butter. I sliced up a stick of cold butter into thin pats and arranged them all over the pancake mix. This is where the magic happens, people. As it bakes, the butter melts into the mix and creates this amazing, crispy, golden-brown topping. You do need to use real butter for this, the flavor you get is much better.
- Get your oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 45 minutes to an hour.
- You’ll know it’s done when the top is all bubbly and golden.
I checked on it a few times, and the smell wafting through my kitchen was just heavenly. When it was finally done, I pulled it out of the oven and let it cool for a bit.
Now, the best part: serving it up! I scooped out a big portion of that warm, gooey, peachy goodness and topped it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. You could also use whipped cream, or just eat it plain, it’s that good. The combination of the sweet peaches, the buttery topping, and the cold ice cream was just… perfection. It might be because I love sweets but this was one of the best desserts I have ever made. And the best part? It was ridiculously easy to make.
So, there you have it. My super simple, slightly unconventional, but totally delicious peach cobbler adventure. It wasn’t much of an adventure since it was so easy to make but I still wanted to share. If you’re ever in a pinch and need a dessert that’s guaranteed to please, give this pancake mix cobbler a try. You might just surprise yourself!
