Here’s a classic, easy blueberry cobbler—sweet, bubbly, and perfect with ice cream 🍇🥧
Blueberry Cobbler
Ingredients
For the filling
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- ½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
For the topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- ¼–½ cup milk (enough to make a soft batter)
- Optional: ½ tsp cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Prepare filling
- In a bowl, mix blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla.
- Pour into prepared baking dish.
- Make topping
- In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in milk until a thick, slightly sticky batter forms.
- Assemble cobbler
- Drop spoonfuls of batter over the blueberries. It’s okay if some fruit peeks through—this creates the classic cobbler look.
- Bake
- Bake 35–40 minutes until topping is golden and blueberries are bubbly.
- Serve
- Let cool 5–10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips & Variations
- 🍋 Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for extra brightness.
- 🌾 Swap half the flour for oat flour or almond flour for texture.
- 🍓 Mix in other berries or stone fruit (raspberries, peaches) for variety.
- 🥄 Brush topping with a little melted butter and sprinkle sugar for a shiny, crunchy top.
If you want, I can also give a mini cobbler version baked in ramekins—perfect for individual servings and presentation.
