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.
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 genuinely had a grudge with soy milk for the last 40 years of my life because its not cow milk. I read it could possibly lower blood pressure and mine is ridiculously high so I sais screw it. I actuallty like it better than cow milk, especially the vanilla flavored one. Its so good in my total cereal. Ill try subbing this with soy milk as well sometime. Maybe even vanilla for a little extra flavor in that crust.
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.
Recipes good I made this one
Very disappointed, did not taste good, too sweet also very liquidy and just a overall bad experience
First time making this and even trying. it was so good!! if people are complaining it’s too liquidy they’re dumb because they should just drain the juice from the blueberries before they put it in that’s only common sense.
Great
There was no “juice” before. But after baking it was swimming in juice. Flavor was good, but next time I’d use a little less sugar and some thickening agent. It’s not polite to call people ‘dumb’ when you don’t know what you are talking about…. actually, very rude.
Much too sweet. No cakiness at all. Basically, a blob of very sweet blueberries. Not appealing for company.
This cobbler was disappointing. Very liquidy; too sweet and milky tasting. I prefer the kind that calls for oats.
made for 1st time tonight, Mr. loved it.
Made the recipe three weeks ago, my wife and brother in law loved it! As I write this, I’m preparing to bake another cobbler (blueberry of course). My favorite is your peach cobbler. I haven’t fixed a tbfs recipe that wasn’t delicious!!
Easy recipe, delicious results!
Excellent!! I don’t especially like cobbler or blueberries, but made this for my Dad for Father’s Day.
I just sampled it and already want seconds! Followed the recipe as written (I went light on the cinnamon out of preference and baked for the full 40 minutes). It was perfect, thank you!!
This was delicious. Mostly made as recipe written, but I did use a half blueberry half blackberry mixture and added a dash of half and half to the milk for richness. Otherwise a perfect dessert treat. Pairs well with whipped cream.
Threw this together quickly while I was making dinner so we could have it right afterwards. It was DELICIOUS!! Definitely keeping this recipe handy!
This was super easy and delicious. I did put more cinnamon in dry ingredients as I love cinnamon. Might try with some oats mixed into dry next time just because I love that texture it gives but it was delicious without too. Definitely needed that little bit of browning from the broiler — thanks for the tip.
