Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

4 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)

1 cup granulated sugar, divided

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.

I spread the blueberries evenly across the bottom of the dish and sprinkle them with 1/4 cup of the sugar.

In a medium bowl, I whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, and baking powder.

I stir in the milk and melted butter until I get a smooth batter.

Then, I pour the batter evenly over the blueberries—without stirring.

I bake it for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

I serve it warm, usually with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate treat.

Variations

I sometimes like to swap out the blueberries for other fruits like blackberries, raspberries, or a mix of berries. For a citrus twist, I add a bit of lemon zest to the batter or sprinkle it over the berries. When I want a spiced version, a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg gives it a warm, cozy flavor that’s especially nice in the cooler months.

Storage/Reheating

To store leftovers, I cover the cobbler and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When I’m ready to reheat, I warm individual portions in the microwave for about 30–45 seconds. For larger portions, I reheat them in a 325°F oven until warmed through—about 10–15 minutes.

FAQs

What type of blueberries work best for this cobbler?

I prefer fresh blueberries when they’re in season, but frozen ones work just as well—as long as they’re thawed and drained before baking.

Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?

Yes, I often bake it earlier in the day and just reheat it before serving. It still tastes great the next day, too.

Can I use a different size baking dish?

Absolutely. I use a 9×9-inch dish, but a similar-sized round or rectangular baking dish will work. Just keep an eye on the baking time—thicker cobblers might need a few extra minutes.

How do I know when the cobbler is done?

I look for a golden-brown crust and bubbling fruit around the edges. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Yes, I’ve made this with plant-based butter and non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk, and it still turns out delicious.

This easy blueberry cobbler is one of those classic desserts that never goes out of style.
