A SIMPLE BLUEBERRY COBBLER RECIPE

This easy blueberry cobbler is about to become one of your absolute favorite easy dessert recipes! I’m a huge blueberry fan and this blueberry dessert does not disappoint! It’s so ooey gooey, moist, sweet, and oh so delicious! After it bakes, you get a slightly crispy edge (which is my favorite part!)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What other fruits can be used besides blueberries?

Raspberries and strawberries make great additions or substitutions. Be sure to check out my Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler! You can really have a lot of fun with different versions of cobbler. Chocolate Cobbler, Banana Bread Cobbler and Instant Pot Cherry Cobbler are just a few that I have shared here.

What if I don’t have self-rising flour?

For this recipe just whisk together one cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Proceed with recipe as written.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

You can but keep in mind that frozen blueberries will require more work to use. You will need to fully defrost the blueberries then dry them as best as possible. If you don’t, they will add too much water to the cobbler and it won’t turn out properly. Cobbler is best made with fresh fruits which is why you often see them served in the summer.

Can I use almond, soy or oat milk?

I get this question a lot these days, and I will be honest, I don’t use anything other than cow’s milk. I would think that you could but its one of those things that you will just have to try and test out yourself.

Can I use a sugar substitute?

I will answer the same as above. I only bake with real sugar. If you are familiar with baking with sugar substitutes then I would hope that you would already know how to properly substitute sugar in recipes. I will be no help there.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)

  • self-rising flour – y’all already know I swear by White Lily flour. It is my absolute favorite for baking. See my FAQ above about using all purpose flour.
  • sugar – just regular ole white sugar. I have not tried this with brown sugar.
  • milk – I always prefer 2% or higher milk. The fat in milk really gives flavor.
  • salted butter – it needs to be real butter, not margarine. Margarine is basically just oil. I like salted butter. It does not make this taste salty. It gives it a nice balance of flavor with the overall sweetness.
  • vanilla extract -I actually like the vanilla extract that says “baking vanilla extract.” But if you have a bougie vanilla extract you love, then go for it!
  • fresh blueberries – see my notes above about using frozen blueberries. Also, this same recipe can be made with fresh raspberries and blackberries.
blueberry cobbler ingredients: self-rising flour, sugar, milk, salted butter, vanilla extract, fresh blueberries.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BLUEBERRY COBBLER:

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9″ x 9″ square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a medium sized bowl, stir together the flour with 1 cup of sugar and then add in the milk. Then, pour the melted butter and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.

Spread mixture into a prepared baking dish and top with blueberries. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake on the middle oven rack uncovered for 45 minutes to an hour, until the top is a light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
