Blueberry Cobbler Recipe
Description
This Blueberry Cobbler begins by melting butter in the baking dish to form a rich layer. Fresh or frozen blueberries tossed with sugar are poured over the melted butter, creating a juicy fruit base that thickens during baking. The cobbler batter, composed of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk, is poured over the berries without stirring, allowing it to bake into a fluffy crust.
Baking at 350º F for 35 to 40 minutes results in a lightly golden crust atop bubbling fruit. The contrast between the sweet, tender batter and the juicy blueberries provides a classic cobbler texture and flavor. Optional vanilla extract and cinnamon can be added for extra aroma and taste enhancement.
This dessert is served warm and can be accompanied by cream or ice cream if desired. It keeps well refrigerated and can be reheated in the oven or microwave. The recipe allows substitutions for gluten-free or dairy-free versions and options to lower sugar content with suitable alternatives.
Ingredients
- 1/2 /2 cup butter
- 2 pints blueberries fresh or frozen (about 4 cups)
- 1/2 /2 cup sugar
Blueberry Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 /4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup milk or half-and-half
Optional Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
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.
- Add blueberries. Pour the sugared blueberries over the melted butter, evenly distributing over the melted butter. Do not stir.
- Add the cobbler batter. Pour the cobbler batter evenly over the blueberries, do not stir.
- Bake. Bake until lightly golden brown on top, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest about 3 minutes.
- Serve. Serve warm.
Notes
- Make ahead by baking and storing covered in the refrigerator; reheat before serving.
- Freeze after baking in a freezer-safe dish wrapped tightly; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheat gently in the oven covered with foil or in intervals in the microwave until warmed through.
- Gluten-free versions can be made by substituting gluten-free flours and omitting baking powder and salt if using self-rising flour.
- Dairy-free substitutions include plant-based milks and butters.
- Lower sugar options can use sugar-free substitutes appropriate for baking.
