Are you getting tired of the same ol’ - same ol’ when it comes to the dessert options around the holidays? Shake things up this year and try out this delicious Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler! If a pumpkin pie and a cobbler had a love child, this cobbler would be it!

This delicious wonder of a dessert makes it’s own gooey pumpkin caramel sauce while a spiced up cake forms on top to make one hell of a Fall inspired cobbler, if I do say so myself. Lightened up and made just a little better-for-you with just a few simple swaps.

The first swap I made was to use a whole wheat white flour to really get some nutrients in there. I also swapped out a lot of the sugar for natural sweeteners and sugar blends to cut the sugar content down as much as I could without jeopardizing the taste and texture of the cobbler.

The directions for this recipe may seem a little strange. Pouring hot water over everything before baking? Yeah. It sounds weird, but trust me when I say that it somehow all works out in the end. It’s like… a magic cobbler and ends up making its own yummy pumpkin goo on the bottom while a spiced cake mixture forms on the top. Good stuff!

Serve this cobbler warm with some vanilla ice cream on top and you’ll have one stellar dessert that everyone is sure to enjoy.
