Thanks for this recipe! I am allergic to oatmeal and got to thinking about whether I could use cornmeal in a cobbler instead. Sure enough, Ceezie was way ahead of me. I had to cook it for about 55 minutes to brown up, but that may have been because I didn't let the berries thaw first. I also thought it could use more fruit, as the batter absorbed most of the liquid so it was a bit dry. Otherwise I thought it was fabulous. Thanks again. This is a keeper.
