Pear-Cranberry Cobblers


yield: Makes 4 servings
This scrumptious dessert serves up sweet, seasonal fruit in filling, foolproof portions. And whole-grain oats top it off with a fluffy cobbler...

ingredients

Vegetable oil cooking spray
1/3 cup steel-cut oats
2 large pears (about 1 pound), peeled, cored and cut into chunks
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons lowfat vanilla yogurt


preparation

Heat oven to 375°. Place four 8-ounce ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and coat each with cooking spray. Place oats in a bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons boiling water; cover and steep about 10 minutes. Divide pears and cranberries among ramekins. Mix next 5 ingredients in a bowl. Stir egg and sugar into oats; add flour mixture and yogurt. Stir but don't overmix. Spoon batter over fruit and spray tops with cooking spray. Bake until topping browns and puffs, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.
