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.
Excellent recipe…easy and delicious! Not overly sweet and the cobbler dough has great consistency. Will definitely be making this one again.
Made it tonight and my family loved it. Very simple to make.
Excellent flavor. Made half the recipe in a 8” square pan. Better than the recipe I’ve used for years….
Epic fail and I followed the recipe UGH what did I do wrong?
Nope.
Should have known better…a cup of flour and a cup of sugar in the batter, along with 3/4 cup of milk, makes for a runny pancake batter that sunk into the blueberries while cooking. There was little crust on the finished product.
Followed the recipe exactly, and it came out like a big pan of blueberry soup. I even checked the recipe again, it came out nothing like the picture.
Made this recipe was so delicious, had no lemon to zest but put in 1 tsp real lemon with the blueberry& sugar, also added a tsp real vanilla
WAY too many blueberries!! This was not so much of a cobbler as a tiny bit of cake on top of a giant dish of blueberries. Cut the blueberries in half. 2 cups, not four, should be perfect.
Forgot to mention that I added the juice and zest from the lemon.
I wish I could upload a picture. It was soooo good! I did have to bake it for close to an hour because the batter in the middle of the pan was raw. But it didn’t burn and got crispy and delicious! I made it for mother’s day and six of us ate the whole pan!
