Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Summer Fruit Cobbler

Nothing says summer like peaches, cherries, and blueberries. Combined in this wholesome cobbler, their flavors shine through and are a satisfying ending to summer cook-out. Plus, the topping is fabulous with whole grains and the nutty-goodness of pecans. This is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

 Ingredients
Fruit Mixture
12 oz. cherries, pitted*
1 peach, diced large
1 nectarine, diced large
1/4 cup blueberries
1/4 cup sugar

*If you are using frozen fruit thaw completely before assembling cobbler.

Topping
1/2 cup Smart Balance, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup whole grain oats
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup pecans, chopped

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Place fruit in dish and sprinkle with sugar.

Blend softened Smart Balance, brown sugar, oats, flaxseed, and tapioca flour. Sir in pecans. Drop by spoonfuls on top of fruit mixture. The topping will not completely cover the fruit. This allows the fruit to bubble through while baking.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Cool and serve. Makes 8 servings.
