Hi. We celebrated my father in law's birthday yesterday. His favorite dessert in the whole wide world is peach cobbler, but he's gone and put himself on a diet, so I had to get creative.
I found some recipe hacks online and added my own twist to it. Considering that I didn't even get a picture of it because the people ate the entire tray of it, I'm just going to say that it went over splendidly.
If you're looking for a reduced sugar, low fat dessert idea that uses fresh fruit and is ridiculously easy, this is your thing. Promise.
Soda Cake Peach Cobbler
- 6-8 fresh peaches, peeled and cut up into bite size pieces
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 can lemon lime diet soda (I used Sprite Zero)
- Handful of oats (optional)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (also optional)
- cinnamon
(Yes, really, that's all that goes into it)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray. Add the cut up peaches to the bottom, spreading evenly. (They do not, by the way, need to be ripe or cooked, which is a double bonus).
Spread the cake mix over the top, patting down with your hand. If you want it to be a little crispy, add the oats and brown sugar. Pour soda carefully over the top of the mixture. It will be bubbly. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon.
Bake for one hour.
I served it with light whipped cream instead of ice cream because of the diet, but you could use either.
Like I said, there was nothing left. They licked the container of whipped cream clean and scraped every bit out of the pan.
