Ingredients

  • 4 cups diced zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the diced zucchini with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch. Stir well to coat the zucchini evenly. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add the cubed cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Transfer the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Spoon the cobbler topping over the zucchini, covering it as much as possible.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the zucchini filling is bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  8. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful treat!
