Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Easy Blueberry Cobbler

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Stir in the milk and melted butter until the mixture is just combined. Don’t over mix—just mix until it looks smooth.

Step 4: Prepare the Baking Dish

Pour the batter into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5: Add Blueberries

Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the batter, allowing their juices to seep into the cobbler as it bakes.

Step 6: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool & Serve

Once baked, allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. This step helps the topping firm up a bit.

Tips & Variations

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of lemon juice to brighten up the blueberries.
If you’re looking for a healthier twist, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or use a sugar alternative.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delicious contrast of temperatures and textures.
This recipe is simple to adapt for different seasons—try swapping blueberries for peaches or cherries when they’re in season.

Serving Suggestions for Easy Blueberry Cobbler

Serve this Easy Blueberry Cobbler warm, straight from the oven, for the best experience. It’s a crowd-pleaser at dessert time, but it also works well as a sweet breakfast dish or afternoon snack.

Pair it with a side of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to elevate the dish even further. It also pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a refreshing glass of lemonade on a warm day.

Storage and Leftovers

If you have leftovers (which isn’t likely!), cover the cobbler with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

You can also freeze individual portions by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and then placing them in an airtight container; they should stay good for up to 3 months.

To reheat, simply place in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave individual servings for a quicker option.
