An easy Blueberry Cobbler recipe made with fresh or frozen blueberries and basic pantry ingredients.
This blueberry cobbler recipe was born out of my love for warm, comfort-food desserts made with fresh fruit. My peach cobbler recipe is one of the most loved recipes on the site, and this Triple Berry Crisp is one of my personal favorites.
Blueberry Cobbler
Blueberry cobbler is a warm and sweet dessert recipe that takes just a few minutes to prepare and will satisfy every dessert craving you have ever had; it's just that good! This recipe is an adaptation of my very popular Peach Cobbler recipe and both recipes can be made with fresh or frozen fruit!
Ingredients in Blueberry Cobbler:
- Blueberries: You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this cobbler recipe.
- Sugar: A little granulated sugar mixed in with the blueberries will help create a sauce from the blueberries as they bake.
- Lemon Zest: A touch of lemon zest helps boost flavor.
- Butter: A few tablespoons of butter, melted at the bottom of the pan, keeps the cobbler from sticking to the pan, and adds to the amazing flavor.
- Batter: The batter for this cobbler is made from flour, sugar, milk, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. The combination of those ingredients, layered on top of the blueberries creates a delicious cake-like topping with a slightly crispy crust and soft center. It reminds me of an old-fashioned dutch-oven type of cobbler.
How to Make Blueberry Cobbler:
- Prepare your pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and slice the butter into pieces. Add the butter to a 9×13 inch baking dish.Place the pan in the oven while it preheats, allowing the butter to melt. Once melted, remove the pan from the oven.
- Prepare the blueberries: Add blueberries, sugar and zest to a bowl and stir to combine.
- Prepare the batter: Mix the batter ingredients together: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, just until combined. Pour blueberries over melted butter in pan, drizzle the batter over the top, and sprinkle with a little bit of cinnamon.
- Bake: Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-40 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.
- Serve: Serve the cobbler warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Can I use frozen fruit to make cobbler?
Yes! Both this blueberry cobbler recipe and my peach cobbler recipe can be made with fresh or frozen fruit. Frozen fruit doesn't even need to be completely thawed before using. There will likely be a little extra juice from the frozen fruit as a result of the thawing process but that is totally fine! The extra liquid will make a slightly more syrupy/saucy cobbler that tastes just as amazing.
HOW TO STORE AND REHEAT BLUEBERRY COBBLER:
Blueberry cobbler is best enjoyed warm, right after it’s baked. Store leftover cobbler covered, in the fridge for 4-5 days.
To reheat blueberry cobbler, use the microwave or oven. To reheat in the oven, remove it from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until warmed through. (Place tinfoil over it if it’s browning too much).

so good! it just tastes soooooo good. this is my first time making a cobbeler of any sort, and it’s fairly easy! I made it for my brothers wedding and they LOVED it. So now i make it for every celebration!
Perfect.
I used Soy vanilla milk….yummy!
I made the Blueberry Cobbler for a Circle Supper at our fellowship, and it was a “HIT” It was delish! I will be making it again. It is so simple and easy. I don’t do complicated. You will enjoy. I can’t wait to try the mixed berry and peach.
I am going to try it and let you know how it turned out .
This is the best blueberry cobbler I’ve every made! I substituted the flower for all purpose gluten free flower to make it gluten free and it was amazing! Big hit!!
Best EVER blueberry cobbler! I already requested this for my birthday! We made the recipe exactly as written. As a family, we went to a local farm and picked the blueberries fresh of the bush. I think using “just-picked” berries is key to this awesome cobbler.
I used half frozen blueberries, a quarter fresh to frozen cranberries and a quarter fresh blueberries and it was WONDERFUL.
This is an awesome recipe. I read the reviews and the negative review almost stopped me from making it . I followed the recipe exactly as you wrote it, except I added a tablespoon of cornstarch, because they said they the blueberries were too moist. I should’ve of done that. But even after I did that it I still loved it. Thank you for such a good Blueberry Cobbler.
Made this and so good,followed the directions with no exchanges or substitutions,will definitely make again
Just took it out of the oven, didn’t taste yet but just looking at it, I wish I would’ve made more batter.
I’m glad I read the reviews! I used a deep 13×9.
For the filling I followed the recipe with the exceptions here: 12 cups of frozen blueberries (that I’d picked fresh a month prior), 1 cup of white sugar, 2 tbsp of flour, 1 tbsp of corn starch in the blueberries. Tossed that together so the blueberries were coated.
For the cobbler, I doubled the recipe since I had so many blueberries, and followed the directions with the exception of splitting the white sugar with brown. (I.e. since I doubled it, I did a cup of brown and a cup of white).
It came out perfectly! Not too sweet, not too liquidy, I will definitely make this again!
Made this today with fresh blueberries picked from my garden. The flavor was okay, definitely not enough batter and the amount of liquid made it hard to get out of the pan. I’d probably make again but with modifications. Definitely increase the batter, decrease the sugar a bit and probably add some flour or cornstarch to the blueberry mix.
This is simple and delicious!
I just made this. I am disappointed in the batter crust. Very thin.. not nearly enough for that amount of berries. I wont use this recipe again.
Agreed about the batter. I don’t know how this recipe has so many 5 star ratings. A bit suspicious.
did you use grams? made it using scales and batter was also too thin, way too much sugar to flour, and came out crispy. i wonder if the weights are wrong..?
Used a 9×13 glass dish. Used fresh blueberries. Baked 35 minutes and came out perfect. Forgot the cinnamon. Didn’t matter. Will use this recipe again. Took a picture but had no way to upload it. I will post on Facebook.
