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).

HAVE YOU TRIED THIS RECIPE?!
RATE and COMMENT below! I would love to hear your experience.
Stephanie says
This Cobbler turned out DELICIOUS!! I used cake flower instead of all purpose flour. I used a 1/2 cup of sugar instead of the one cup it called for. I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the batter as well. I used frozen blueberries and let them sit about an hour with the sugar on them (stirring a few times). I can’t wait to try your other cobbler recipes.
Shelldawg says
I used 3 cups of blueberries instead of 4, but followed the rest of the recipe exactly as described and it was amazing! Best cobbler recipe I’ve ever made so far! Being in the south, we make blueberry and peach cobbler a lot so I am always looking for new recipes. This one is a keeper!
Diane says
The best I’ve ever had. Not cake-like, and not quite like a crisp. I thought it would have too much sugar with the blueberries but it was perfect. I rarely make comment on recipes! This one is a recipe I just had to comment upon.
Samantha says
So delicious. Never had a desert quiet like it before. I halved the sugar, from personal preference and it still came up great. This one is a keeper.
Tonia says
Super easy and super delish can’t wait to make it again
Tracy says
I made this with 3 cups of frozen blueberries and I added the lemon zest and the juice of one lemon. Absolutely amazing, definitely will keep this recipe as a family favorite. I think you could cut some of the sugar and it would still be great!
Thank you for sharing, if you want a quick and yummy dessert this is the ticket!!
Brenda says
I followed the recipe to the letter. Butter, blueberry mixture into the bottom of a 13 x 9 pan.. mixed up batter to pour over the berries and there was not enough batter to cover 1/3 of the berries. So I made up another batter and it still did not come close to covering the berry mixture?? I have NO idea what happened. It also had a very bland taste. Disappointed.
ED says
Runny mess. Used frozen blueberries as it said and it was a runny mess. Very disappointed and tossed the whole thing
Nikki Pineau says
Used 3 cups of frozen berries. Cobbler was not even close to being done cooked after the time given. Batter wasn’t cooked at all- needs another 25 minutes. Horrible.
Mike says
Excellent, old time cobbler. No fuss recipe. Thank you!
