The easiest dessert that you will ever make, this blueberry cobbler recipe uses ingredients that you likely already have in your house. So grab them and get ready to wow your family and friends!
Aaah..berry season is here! Summers bring beautiful and yummilicious berries to the grocery stores and local farmer’s markets - very pretty looking strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and more. Though our favorite part of consuming berries is just to eat them straight or in smoothies but this blueberry cobbler recipe is pretty much on top of the list for berry dishes. These Baked Blueberry Donuts and strawberry muffins are pretty legit as well!

Ingredients
This is the simplest dessert recipe to remember. I call it the 1-1-1-1 recipe and you will see why. And the recipe also happens to be egg-less!
- Self rising flour (see recipe notes if you don’t have self-rising flour)
- Butter
- Milk
- Sugar
- Blueberries
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Get your oven preheated to 350 degrees F/ 180 degrees C. Grease your baking dish with butter and set aside. Melt 1 stick of butter in the microwave in a deep mixing bowl. To the same bowl, add the self rising flour, sugar, and milk. Whisk everything together till completely mixed and smooth. Pour the mixed cobbler batter into your greased baking dish and sprinkle with blueberries – as many as you like. Sprinkle the coarse sugar on top and place it in the preheated oven. Bake until golden brown. That's it!
Hint: Be careful while you melt butter in the microwave. Sometimes the butter “bursts” in the microwave and the clean up is not pretty. I would suggest start with 30 seconds and then go on in 10 second increments till the butter is melted.
Substitutions
This easy cobbler is very versatile – switch up blueberries for your favorite berries – blackberries or raspberries. Strawberries have a little bit different texture profile so I won’t use the exact same recipe for strawberry cobbler, but feel free to switch up with other berries of your liking. Peach cobbler, on the other hand has a different approach and method and you can find my Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe here.
Serving Suggestion
Serve up the cobbler warm with some vanilla bean ice cream or fresh whipped cream, and get ready to be transported to a world of luscious, sweet, fruity goodness. Another one of our favorite fruity recipes served similarly is the Apple Crisp with Oatmeal Topping. Yumm!
Recipe FAQs
Generally speaking, flour, sugar and butter are the key ingredients of a topping. In this Blueberry Cobbler Recipe we make more of a cobbler "batter" with milk added and it works great!
Absolutely! I usually have the cobbler ingredients mixed and ready to before dinner or before the guests arrive and then stick in the oven during dinner. By dessert time, warm Blueberry Cobbler is ready!
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. I recommend heating a slice in a toaster oven.

Have made this 2 or 3 times...always comes out perfectly...I use salted butter, and reduce salt amount called for in recipe. The Turbidano sugar is essential. Don't omit it! I won't ever need another recipe, it's that good!
Vaishali
Thanks Deborah. So happy you like it!

Can I use frozen blueberries
Vaishali
Hi Lena, you absolutely can!
Melissa
Hi! Does this recipe freeze well? Thanks!
Vaishali
Hi Melissa,
I have not tried freezing this cobbler but you could try cutting it into chunky pieces, wrapping them in cling wrap/plastic wrap and then storing in freezer bags or containers. You can then thaw a piece in the refrigerator or room temp, and then toast it slightly in a toaster oven before enjoying. I would not recommend microwaving it because that might dry it out.

Nice, simple and easy recipe. I used vanilla sugar on top since I had a jar and I got to use up a bunch of very ripe blueberries. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty this fairly basic recipe was!
Sonja C
So easy & so good!
Ashley

Wendy
Delicious!
I made this Easy Blueberry Cobbler for a large group of friends during a weekend getaway (quadrupled the recipe) and served it with homemade vanilla ice cream. Every single person in the group couldn't stop raving about it.
I'll definitely be making this recipe again and again.
Debbie
I had to make something really quick and found this as I was searching for something that didn't take too long. I happened to have everything in the house. I actually made mine in a bundt pan and then dusted with powdered sugar after it was done. It came out amazing. Everyone loved it and I will definitely be making it again.
Vaishali
Thanks Debbie. I'm sure it looked really pretty in a bundt pan dusted with sugar.
Jane
What is the sugar you suggest using on top
Vaishali
Turbinado or any coarse sugar will work
Ulrike
Turned out great ( still warm ) I used Swedish pearl sugar and actually added 1/2 cup of strawberries to 1 cup of blueberries . Dusted all berries with flour before adding onto the dough . I don’t use self rising Flour in my kitchen and followed your notes to make it . My husband loves sweets and gobbled it right up . For my European taste it was a bit sweet but I can adjust and make it in Ramekins. Giving it a 5 ! Thanks for posting - it’s simple and the crust is crisp and brown . Makes for a good presentation .
