Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

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!

Easy Blueberry Cobbler

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

What is cobbler topping made of?

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!

Can I mix all the ingredients ahead of time and bake later?

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!

How to store cobbler leftovers and reheat?

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. I recommend heating a slice in a toaster oven.
