Easy Blueberry Cobbler
Are you looking for an easy dessert recipe? Something so easy but it’s actually impressive too? And do you happen to have some fresh blueberries on hand? This easy Blueberry Cobbler recipe is for you.
We had some neighbors coming over for a barbecue the other day, and I really needed to whip up a dessert quickly. Blueberry cobbler was the right choice. Just berries tossed with sugar and juice… laid into a pie plate… a simple, sweet batter spooned on top, and a quick 35 minutes in the oven. Mission Easy Dessert done!
I love it when a cobbler comes out of the oven all piping hot– the fresh blueberries have morphed into being soft, sweet and syrupy. You’ll want a STRAW to suck up all of that fabulous, sugary blueberry juice.
Ice cream is the perfect topper for warm cobbler. The only bad thing about this recipe is that it will be gone almost immediately upon serving, and you will wish you had more!
The teenagers at our barbecue dished up more ice cream and snaked the remaining bits of blueberry syrup from the pan. This is the perfect summer dessert recipe- especially if you have access to big, juicy, wonderful blueberries!
How is cobbler different than a crisp or crumble?
A cobbler is fresh fruit in a pan that is typically topped with a sweet batter before baking. The topping on a fruit crisp (or crumble) usually consists of some sort of sweetened oat mixture. Both are delicious served warm with ice cream or whipped cream!

Ingredients
BERRY MIXTURE:
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
COBBLER:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
FOR SERVING:
- vanilla ice cream, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick spray (not a deep dish).
PREPARE THE BERRIES:
- In a medium bowl, toss together the berries, sugar and juice. Put the berry mixture into the prepared dish.
PREPARE THE COBBLER:
- In a separate medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder and salt, beating just until combined. Drop the batter by the spoonful on top of the berry mixture- covering as much of the top as possible with the batter.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve in dishes with a scoop of ice cream on top (if desired).

Can i make this in a cast iron skillet? I was thinking to maybe make extra cobbler mix and put some on the bottom and melt a little butter so it doesn’t stick.
I think it would be okay!
.This is my go-to cobbler recipe. My husband loves it, it’s easy to make and it’s a guest pleaser every time. A perfect dessert – or breakfast in my husband’s case – it is fruit after all!!!.
Delicious! Doubled the dough for our second round of this nice n easy cobbler because we felt it was not enough to satisfy with the spotty topping that resulted from the first batch made according to portions in recipe.
The food portion was OK…nothing outstanding or spectacular. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR QUOTING YOUR A INSTRUCTIONS ” a 9 inch pie plate (not a deep dish) CAUSED A MASSIVE MESS IN MY OVEN!!! THE OVERFLOW OF SUGARY BLUBERRY Filling seriosly overflowed onto my oven shelves, burners, and oven bottom. I am STILL SOAKING shelving, and burners to get the extremely hard cooked residue out.
I SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND A LARGER AND OR DEEPER DISH TO PREVENT THIS HAZARD FROM OCCURRING TO ANYONE ELSE. Additionally, since there was SO MUCH OVERFLOW, Even using oven gloves caused burns on my hands! Trying to get the overflowing 9 inch pie plate OUT of the oven.
Boo!!! Your instructions are dangerous. I followed measurements EXACTLY..
Hi Josie,
I’m not sure what happened– did you add more than 1/4 teaspoon baking powder? You can see from the photos, video and other reviews that this is not a common problem. I’m so sorry you had trouble with the recipe 🙁
Made it with my 9-year old, fun, simple & delicious!
