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:
  1. 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.
  2. Prepare the blueberries: Add blueberries, sugar and zest to a bowl and stir to combine.
  3. 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.
  4. Bake: Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-40 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.
  5. 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).

    I did a different version but not by much. After making up the batter and fresh blue berries I don’t have an oblong pan. So I got out my ole trusty 9 inch deep dish pan I added 8 minutes to the cook time. It came out perfect. It’s heavenly. nice texture, great crust but I thought it would be a bit runny. It wasn’t. Next time a little less milk in the batter should do the trick. adding a couple more blue berries on top before popping it in the oven was great idea too. This is a keeper even my neighbors loved it hot out of the oven. I heard a bunch of yummys.

    I did not like this recipe. Blueberries came out chewy and frankly the recipe looked burnt even though I did everything it said to as well as the cook time + temperature. Tasted okay but still not good by any means.

    I made this with frozen blueberries & without the lemon zest (because I didn’t have any lemons!). It was fantastic! My wife loved it too!

    We love this recipe because there is lots of blueberries and not a lot of crust. I do add a touch of cornstarch to the blueberries to help with the amount of juice from the frozen blueberries. I’ve made this several times, delicious!! Our go to favorite desert.

    I bake a lot but for some reason this recipe just didn’t perform. No one here liked it. Sorry. Just average.

    I have been making cobbler for 30 years. This is my favorite recipe. I just discovered it. The batter-topping is so delicious- much better than the basic oat or brown sugar crumbled topping. Just wonderful. I keep frozen wild blueberries in my freezer and it’s a go-to dessert.

    I love this recipe it’s easy to make I’ve done different substitutions and it still makes a great dish. My husband loves it so do I. First time we made it and it was gone in 24 hours. Easy to make it turned out and tasted great.

    I made this with blueberry pie filling and doubled the topping recipe. It was delicious and my husband loved it.
