How to Make Blueberry Cobbler
Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.
Blueberries – you can use fresh or frozen blueberries in my cobbler recipe. If you can find wild blueberries, give them a try. They have such incredible flavor! Sugar – I like to use granulated sugar. You’ll notice the color of mine is beige, as I used organic sugar. You can also use your favorite sugar replacement for baking. Butter – I use salted butter, but you can use unsalted butter. You can also use your favorite non-dairy butter for a dairy-free version.
For the Blueberry Cobbler Batter
Flour – I use all-purpose flour. You can also use your favorite gluten-free flour for baking for a gluten-free version. You can also use self-rising flour and omit the baking powder from the cobbler batter ingredients. Sugar – see the note above about sugar. Baking Powder – helps the cobbler batter to rise and have a tender, cake-like texture when baked. Salt – adds flavor to the cobbler batter. Milk – I like to use whole milk or half and half. You can use your favorite non-dairy milk if needed for a dairy-free version.
Optional Ingredients:
Vanilla extract – I find that it enhances the flavor of the cobbler. Ground cinnamon – For a cinnamon flavor in your cobbler, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This is delicious in winter for a cozy dessert recipe.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Add sliced butter to the baking dish and place in the oven while it preheats to allow the butter to melt. Remove the baking dish once the butter has melted. Prep the blueberries. Add blueberries and 1/2 cup sugar to a bowl and toss to combine. Make the cobbler batter. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the milk and whisk until smooth and well combined. Assemble. Pour the sugared blueberries over the melted butter. Pour the batter over the top of the blueberries. Bake. Place into the preheated oven and bake until golden brown on top, about 35 to 40 minutes. Rest and serve. Rest the cobbler for about 3 minutes and then serve warm. I love to serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
