How to Make Easy Blackberry Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.
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. Blackberries – you can use fresh or frozen and thawed blackberries in this recipe. Sugar – I like to use granulated sugar. You can also use your favorite sugar replacement for baking.
For the 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.
