These are some way from the honey-drenched Indonesian ones that we ate on vacation, but they're delicious in their own right. They have something of a banana-bread feel to them and are vegan and gluten-free, thanks to the fact that I use pecans and oats instead of flour and mashed bananas in place of butter. — Anna Jones, author of A Modern Way to Eat.

Cobbler is all about the fruit-to-dough ratio. You need a light, doughy top, but it should never overshadow the star of the dish: fresh, delicious, baked, slightly sugared fruit. If you're worried about an expensive item like blueberries, use them in a smaller cobbler like this one. — Ali Rosen
