I have a problem where if I see a bag of cranberries in the grocery store, I purchase them, no matter how many bags are currently in my freezer. Which, I guess is great for creating cranberry recipes when they are out of season. But not so great for my lack of freezer space.

What is Cranberry Skillet Pancake Cobbler?

Cranberry Skillet Pancake Cobbler is more of an oven-baked pancake than a cobbler, but this recipe only takes about 30 minutes to make and can be served as breakfast or dessert. A simple batter is prepared and topped with sugar coated cranberries before being baked in the oven to a light golden color.

Ingredients

• all purpose flour
• baking powder
• salt
• cinnamon
• unsalted butter
• sugar
• milk
• egg
• almond extract
• fresh or frozen cranberries

Directions

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or other oven-safe pan. Then place the cranberries in a small bowl and top with 3 tablespoons of sugar.

Then mix the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

Next, mix the wet ingredients. Stir together the melted butter, remaining sugar, milk, egg and almond extract.

After that, combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until a batter forms and there are no lumps of flour remaining. Pour into the prepared skillet and top with the sugared cranberries, sprinkling any remaining sugar on top.

Finally, bake the cranberry skillet pancake cobbler for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.

Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

If you're not a fan of cranberries, you may like my Blueberry Oven Pancake recipe instead as it's pretty similar.

To make this recipe more like a cobbler, you could spoon cranberry sauce on top for some extra tartness, or serve it with ice cream.
