Ingredients for Blueberry Cobbler
Blueberries – Choose fresh or frozen blueberries! Other fresh berries (like blackberries, strawberries, or raspberries) or even cherries can be added and a bit of lemon zest is a great addition.
Cobbler Topping – A cobbler differs from a fruit crisp in the topping. Fruit crisp or crumble has a streusel topping while a cobbler topping can be either cake-like or biscuit-like. The biscuit top is placed over the berries and baked until golden. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg and flavor with vanilla if desired.
Optional Additions – Sprinkle on some oats, chopped walnuts, slivered almonds, or coconut, if desired.
How to Make Blueberry Cobbler
This easy Blueberry Cobbler recipe takes minutes to prep and turns out perfect every time!
- Mix blueberries flour and sugar and pour into the baking dish.
- Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl then mix in remaining ingredients until well combined.
- Drop the batter over the blueberries by tablespoonfuls (it won’t cover all the blueberries, but that’s okay!)
- Bake (per recipe below).
Tips for a Great Cobbler
- Fresh blueberries are best if possible.
- Don’t skip over tossing the blueberries in flour! This step evenly thickens the blueberry mixture making a sauce.
- If the cobbler is too runny, allow enough time for the cobbler to ‘set’ after baking, or refrigerate it until it is firm.
- If it’s not saucy, it likely hasn’t cooked long enough to allow the blueberries to release their juices.
- If the topping begins to brown too much, loosely cover it with foil.
- Keep leftover blueberry cobbler covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I love nearly all Holly’s recipes but this one is not my favourite
It has way to much sugar
The sugar was at the bottom,of the dish when I went to serve it
I should have realized it when I saw the amount and other recipes were not even half the amount
And I wasn’t a fan of the topping
But that said this is the first I would not make again
Oh no, I am sorry to hear that Linda! I am glad you are enjoying the rest of our recipes.
So good and easy to make on a whim!
I had some fresh blueberries and wanted to try this recipe. After reading some of the comments, I was concerned about the crust. I followed the recipe as written. The blueberry filling was good, but the crust was not good at all. While the recipe was easy to prepare, the taste just was not to my liking.
Thanks for trying our recipe! I am sorry to hear the crust didn’t turn out for you.
This recipe was great. The only thing wasit was a bit sweet. Will add less sugar next time.
Can the blueberry cobbler be made in an air fryer?
I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure Eve. If you try it I would love to hear how it turns out!
I’ve made this twice now. I agree to taste your berries for sweetness. I only used 1/2 cup sugar both times. I did add a little water to mix the flour & sugar well with berries
Serving with a scoop of ice cream takes it over the top!
