Sometimes you just have to shake dessert up. This holiday season would be the great time to start a new tradition. Instead of the usual pies and cookies, why not try out this Gingerbread Cobbler! This Gingerbread Cobbler is very similar to my Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler, but more in line with Christmas or New Years than Thanksgiving!
Cobbler just seems like the perfect winter dessert. It’s warm, gooey, and filling too. My mom seems to think that this cobbler is like those old fashioned pudding cakes where you layer the batter on the bottom of the pan and pour hot liquid on top to bake. While baking, the cake bubbles up to the top and the gooey pudding cobbler goodness is on the bottom.
I served mine hot with a dusting of powdered sugar, but a nice vanilla ice cream would be great with this cobbler too. Trust me when I say that no matter how you top it off, this cobbler goes quickly! There’s just enough sweet and just enough spice to really get that gingerbread flavor.
I can’t wait to play around with more flavors for other holidays!
