Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt divided
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup light brown sugar
1¾ cups hot water

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, granulated sugar, milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared dish.
In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
Slowly pour the hot water over the top. Do not stir—this step helps create the cinnamon caramel sauce as it bakes.
Bake for about 45 minutes, until the top is set and lightly golden.
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

Notes

This snickerdoodle cobbler is a warm, comforting dessert that magically forms its own cinnamon-sugar sauce while baking. It combines classic snickerdoodle flavors with an easy cobbler-style method, making it perfect for weeknight desserts or cozy gatherings.
