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.

We've always called this cobbler recipe "acuppah cobbler" bc everything is a cup of in measuring. Easy to remember! So good
Vaishali says
Thanks, Kim. I'm going to steal that!
Meribeth says
I poured batter in the pan and the. Blueberries on top am i supposed to put more batter on top of the blueberries because I did not see the crust after cooking just blueberries
Vaishali says
Hi Meredith,
There is no need to put more batter on top. As the cobbler bakes, some of the batter will form a crust around the blueberries. I hope this helps!
Thanks - Vaishali.
Kathy Huff says
I haven't made a cobbler in years then for my 74th birthday my husband of 55 years said I should make one of my cobblers. Problem was I had for got how I did it. I found another recipe and when I was mixing it with the half cup of milk I thought it should be 1 cup milk but followed the recipe to a t. Then I found this one and it is the exact way I always made it. Wish I had seen it before I wasted my time and blueberries on the other one. I will not change a thing because it is just like mine. Thanks for posting this. I know it will be great and I'm writing it down. Thank you again. God Bless and keep on posting.

Marguerite says
Very good! I took some suggestions in the comments : melted butter in square glass Pan and added the mixed dried ingredients, using only half cup sugar ,1 cup milk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.
Added 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and grated skin of one lemon to the blueberries and let it sit for a half hour . Then sprinkled the 2 cups of blueberries on the top and sprinkled 2 tablespoons of turbinado sugar
Every one enjoyed the cobbler
Kelly says
This is great and ridiculously easy. I melt the butter in the pan in the oven, dump in the premixed dry ingredients with a bit of almond extract added. Add double the amount of berries after. Chez Panisse NYT recipe is good too but much longer. Love this!
Vaishali says
Kelly, thank you so much for sharing. Comparison to Chez Panisse recipe....wow. I'm floored! I'm so happy you enjoy this cobbler..<3
Greg says
Classic recipe! The one change I'd make is not mixing the batter in the butter. In other words, mix the flour, sugar, and milk, and then just pour that batter into the melted butter in the pan. Seriously, try it that way once and you'll never go back!! Lol Lemon zest and a touch of vanilla, too, if I'm feeling extra. 😋
Vaishali says
Love the suggestions, Greg. I might try some lemon zest next time...just to be extra!!!
Vaishali says
Thanks for your comment, Sally. Almond extract is not in the original recipe. This is a change that a reader made while making the recipe.
