Ingredients for Blueberry Cobbler
Blueberries – Choose fresh or frozen blueberries! Other fresh berries (like blackberries, strawberries, or raspberries) can be added and a bit of lemon zest is a great addition! The blueberries form a sauce and it’s so good!
Cobbler Topping – A cobbler differs from a fruit crisp in the topping. Fruit crisp or crumble has a streusel topping while a cobbler topping can be either cake-like or biscuit-like. The biscuit top is placed over the berries and baked until golden. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg and flavor with vanilla if desired
Optional Additions – Sprinkle on some oats, chopped walnuts, slivered almonds, or coconut, if desired.
How to Make Blueberry Cobbler
This easy Blueberry Cobbler recipe takes minutes to prep and turns out perfect every time!
- Mix blueberries flour and sugar and pour into the baking dish.
- Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl then mix in remaining ingredients until well combined.
- Drop the batter over the blueberries by tablespoonfuls (it won’t cover all the blueberries, that’s okay!) Bake (per recipe below).
Tips for a Great Cobbler
- Fresh blueberries are best if possible.
- Don’t skip over tossing the blueberries in flour! This step evenly thickens the blueberry mixture making a sauce.
- If the cobbler is too runny, allow enough time for the cobbler to ‘set’ after baking, or refrigerate it until it is firm. If it’s not saucy, it likely hasn’t cooked long enough to allow the blueberries to release their juices.
- If the topping begins to brown too much, loosely cover it with foil.
- Keep leftover blueberry cobbler covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I’ve made this twice now. I agree to taste your berries for sweetness. I only used 1/2 cup sugar both times. I did add a little water to mix the flour & sugar well with berries
Serving with a scoop of ice cream takes it over the top!
I find the cobbler dough to be too thick. Stays where you put it and the shape you put it In. And it’s a bit dry in my opinion. Also it’s best if the berries are a bit wet to attach the flour and sugar. Overall it rated pretty good though.
Hi D, cobbler dough should be thick similar to biscuit dough consistency. I hope this helps.
Followed recipe to a T yet ended with a bottom full of undissolved sugar? Maybe too much sugar? Maybe should have cooked the sugar and blueberries together in a saucepan first. Not sure, just unfortunate.
Sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy this cobbler as much as we do Sydney. We haven’t had sugar left at the bottom when we’ve made it. Perhaps your blueberries were less juicy. It’s very easy to reduce the sugar in this recipe to your liking.
