    TL;DR

    It so happens that I get a batch of fresh blueberries in the evening and I usually prefer to use them up as fast as possible, to make the most of these wonderful fresh berries.

    And that is when I came up with the simplest blueberry cobbler ever.

    This blueberry cobbler with fresh berries is all yours if you want to use up fresh blueberries quickly, if you are craving a late night dessert or if you have last-minute guests dropping in.

    The recipe is simple enough, and I developed it with commonly available ingredients in mind.

    Freshly baked blueberry cobbler

    Ingredients

    • Blueberries — Fresh
    • Sugar — Normal sugar, whatever you have at home. Brown sugar is my favorite choice if I have it in my pantry.
    • All-purpose Flour — or cake flour is ok too.
    • Baking Powder or Baking Soda — Baking powder is baking soda and cream of tartar combined, it adds a little bit more stabilization to your cobbler, but you can use just baking soda too.
    • Salt
    • Butter — unsalted or salted (reduce salt added in that case)
    • Milk
    • Sugar

    How to make it?

    Step 1

    In a bowl, combine the blueberries with the sugar and mix through.

    That way your blueberries are sweetened, and the flavors are enhanced because we won't add sugar to the batter.

    Keep aside and allow the sugar to marinate the blueberries.

    Step 2

    In another bowl combine the flour, butter, baking powder, salt and milk to a smoother semi-liquid batter.

    Step 3

    Keep a casserole baking dish ready and pour the sugar-sweetened blueberries into the dish and spread out evenly.

    Pour the cobbler batter over the blueberries in the dish and spread out evenly as well.

    Recipe by: Helene Dsouza

    Ingredients

    For the Fruits:

    • 4 cups Blueberries fresh
    • ¾ cup Sugar Regular crystal sugar. I like brown sugar.

    For the Batter:

    • 1½ cup All-purpose Flour or cake flour.
    • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder or baking soda.
    • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
    • ½ stick Butter some extra butter for greasing the baking dish.
    • 1½ cup Milk

    For the Topping:

    • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
    US - Metric

    Instructions

    • In a bowl combine the blueberries with the sugar and mix.
      4 cups Blueberries, ¾ cup Sugar
    • Keep the blueberries aside to marinate a bit.
    • In another mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt, butter, and milk. Combine to a smooth batter.
      1½ cup All-purpose Flour, 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder, ¼ Teaspoon Salt, ½ stick Butter, 1½ cup Milk
    • Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit/ 180° Celsius.
    • Keep a casserole baking dish ready, grease it a bit with butter so that the cobbler doesn't stick on. Toss the blueberries marinated in sugar into the dish, spread out evenly.
    • Pour the batter over the blueberries and spread it out evenly as well.
    • Sprinkle sugar evenly all over the unbaked cobbler.
      2 Tablespoons Sugar
    • Bake the cobbler for about 40 minutes at 350° Fahrenheit/ 180° Celsius, or until you can see the fruits bubbling up at the sides and the batter is baked amber golden brown.

    Notes

    • you can use frozen blueberries too. Just thaw them completely first.
    • you can freeze your cobbler too by preparing everything, freezing, defrosting when you need it and baking your cobbler. See instructions in post further above.

    Freezing

    I found the best way to freeze a cobbler is to prepare the dish as described in the recipe in a baking dish and then to freeze it hard.

    Once frozen, take out the cobbler from the dish and wrap it in to store further in the freezer.

    To use your frozen fruit cobbler, thaw the whole dessert in the baking first overnight in the fridge.

    Once thawed but still cold, bake the dish as you would normally in the oven until the blueberries are bubbly and the top is light amber golden.

    Serving

    I love cobbler straight out of the oven, still hot and bubbly.

    We scoop some vanilla ice cream on top. The cold ice cream compliments the still bubbly hot berry cobbler in so many ways.

    Another idea is to add fresh cold whipped cream or cold bavarian cream to the blueberry cobbler in a bowl.

    I wouldn't serve up a cobbler with warm custard or similar because a hot cobbler needs a cold sweet contrast and vanilla ice cream is most definitely the best choice.

    But that's my opinion. 🙂

    Variations

    Yes, you can adapt this fresh, simple blueberry cobbler recipe to your personal needs and preferences!

    If you want to use frozen blueberries, thaw them first and use as described in the recipe.

    Switch out half of the blueberry quantity with other fruits:

    • peaches to make a peach and blueberry cobbler
    • strawberries
    • apples
    • blackberries
    • cherries

    For a Gluten-free blueberry cobbler, use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour or use another similar gluten-free flour mixed in such as coconut flour.

    To prepare a Vegan cobbler, switch out the butter with plant oil and the milk with soy or almond milk.

    You can prepare individual cobblers too in ramekins by equally spreading out the batch of fruits and pastry into each small baking dish.
