Okay, so this isn't the healthiest recipe, but at least it's healthier than a candy bar... and no preservatives. I found this on allrecipes.com. It's a very easy-to-make recipe with decent flavor (although a few little tweaks to the original recipe would be preferred next time).
Blueberry Dumplings
What you'll need:
2 c blueberries
1/2 c white sugar
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 t. baking powder
2 t. lemon zest
1/4 t. ground nutmeg
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1/4 t. salt
3/4 c milk
3/4 c water
1/2 c half and half
Pour blueberries and 3/4 c of water into a 10 inch cast iron skillet. Stir in sugar. Cook until juice begins to boil, and lower heat.
In mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder, lemon rind, spices, and salt. Stir in milk until dry particles are just moistened. Drop dough by spoonfuls (8 large dumplings) on top of simmering berry mixture, and cover skillet. Cook over medium-low heat until dough is puffed and cooked through. Serve dumplings with berry sauce and cold cream.

Ratings from the Experts*: 7/10 from both of us. It would be much better if you drop the 1/2 and 1/2 and serve with low fat vanilla yogurt instead. Also, cut the sugar in the blueberry sauce to 1/4 c. and add that 1/4 c. to the dumpling mix instead. I will definitely revisit this recipe though and try to make it better. It's promising.
