Peach Cobbler

6 medium peaches, sliced or use 1 pound frozen, thawed peaches (no sugar added)
¼ cup plus 1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
½ cup all purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. canola oil
½ cup skim milk or plain soy milk

 

Preheat oven to 375°F.  In a glass 9" x 9" dish, combine peaches, ¼ cup of the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon; toss to coat peaches.  Microwave about 4 minutes, stirring after each minute, until mixture thickens.  Stir in almond extract.

To make the topping, in a large bowl combine flours, 1 Tbsp. sugar, baking powder, and oil.  Work with a fork until blended.  Add milk and stir until flour mixture is evenly moistened.

Drop 8 tablespoons of topping mixture onto peach mixture.  Bake until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 20 to 25 minutes.  Cut into 8 pieces and serve.
