A very berry cobbler

I have a book club. This book club has gone through several meeting formats. Initially we met at restaurants, which always felt rushed. Then we met for dinner at someone's house, which was great, but dinner is a lot of work. I think we've now settled on dessert at someone's apartment. So for this month's meeting I searched for a dessert that looked good but wasn't super fattening. I decided to veganize this Ellie Krieger recipe found here.

The best part is that per serving the cobbler is only 220 calories and has five grams of fiber. The recipe call for butter, which is easily swapped out with Earth Balance, and buttermilk. To make a vegan buttermilk all you need to do is mix your favorite non-dairy milk with vinegar (1 tbsp of vinegar to 1 cup of milk).

The recipe was a success. However, the real star of the evening was Erica's pumpkin cake -- her maiden voyage into vegan baking!
