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.

Does this have to be refrigerated or can it be left on counter?
We leave them covered on the counter for about 2 days. If it’s going to be longer I would suggest storing them in the fridge.
I had sugar sitting on the bottom of the pan after baking. Seemed like way too much! Otherwise it was pretty good. Are you sure 1 full cup is necessary with the berries?
You could certainly reduce the sugar if you prefer!
Oh my goodness…absolutely YUMMY !
So glad we’re at the beginning of blueberry season here in the south….I’ll be making this weekly (at least! ) And I’ll make it with peaches, it is going to be a yummy summer indeed : )
Sounds like a great summer to me Kimberly!
Filling good, crust terrible.
I’m sorry this didn’t work out for you, what sort of problem did you have with the crust? Did you make it as written in the recipe?
OMG….delious, easy to make!! Turned out perfect!! Will be making again soon!!
So glad you loved it Kathy!
Just wondering should we leave blueberries whole are smash them a bit? Or will they cook down?
No need to mash them. They will cook down Amanda. Enjoy!
They cook down just right. I did use half Splenda with half sugar because of diabetes. I’m testing them right now. Delicious! Tonight I will use vanilla ice cream.
I made this tonight aas dessert for the man dish which i also got from this site, the chicken and rice casserole. my goodness the raves were loud and many, thank you so much! this is my first cobbler i ever made and it came out perfect!!
So glad it turned out Jonny!

This looks delicious! My husband recently discovered blueberry cobbler during a night out and fell in love. I’m definitely going to have to surprise him with this at some point!
Sweet :)
Aren’t cobblers the best summer dessert? I love pie and cobbler is even better because it’s so easy!! I’m going to make this with my first batch of fresh summer blueberries.
You’re definitely right about the difference in toppings for cobblers. My mother always layered a sheet of pie crust over the top of hers. One of my friend’s mother’s made her cobblers with a thicker, almost biscuit type covering that was dolloped on top similar to yours. They were delicious. I can’t wait to try this now that we’re seeing more blueberries in the store. I also appreciate that this cobbler doesn’t requires a whole lot of work to get it ready to go into the oven.
I love fresh summer blueberries! They are so sweet and bursting with flavors. This would be so good with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream
I could eat my weight in blueberry cobbler! It’s a classic and super tasty. The type of crust you use is one of my husband’s favorites, so it would be a winner for my family!
I love a good cobbler too!!
agree with you..cobbler’s topping is something we can widely vary. And it’s my fave dessert, easy and quick to make and absolutely satisfy everybody. :)
What a fantastic classic. I love blueberries and i appreciate that this is a simple, straightforward recipe. It makes it easier to throw together at the end of the meal and still feel like I have time to enjoy myself.
Thank you Jen! We LOVE cobbler at our house too!
This post made me realize that I just don’t make enough cobblers at home! Love how easily they come together, and is there anything better than that gorgeously bubby fruit?! YUM!
SOUNDS YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..GONNA GIVE IT try
You won’t be disappointed!
Can you use bisquick for the crust?
I have only tried the recipe as written, but think that would work. Let us know if you try it Lydia!
This looks incredible, I love desserts made with berries!
How lucky for me, that I founds this recipe today. I have some frozen peaches leftover from making peach sorbet…..which was only a moderate success. I can use the leftover peaches in this cobbler recipe to make space in my freezer. I presume I thaw the fruit before using. Thanks. I just made your easy Tater Tot casserole on Sunday. I have never bought Tater Tots or Hash Browns before. Guess I will now as the recipe was a great success. I baked it in the oven as I left it too late to use my crock pot. Next time I will use my crock pot. It’s high setting is too hot, but I can use my electric pressure cooker as the crock pot temperature is accurate…only low setting though so I will double the time. Thank you.
Peaches would be delicious in this recipe! I would suggest defrosting them (and draining any liquid), please let us know how it goes. So glad you enjoyed the tater tot casserole!
