FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Raspberries and strawberries make great additions or substitutions. Be sure to check out my Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler! You can really have a lot of fun with different versions of cobbler. Chocolate Cobbler, Banana Bread Cobbler and Instant Pot Cherry Cobbler are just a few that I have shared here.
For this recipe just whisk together one cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Proceed with recipe as written.
You can but keep in mind that frozen blueberries will require more work to use. You will need to fully defrost the blueberries then dry them as best as possible. If you don’t, they will add too much water to the cobbler and it won’t turn out properly. Cobbler is best made with fresh fruits which is why you often see them served in the summer.
I get this question a lot these days, and I will be honest, I don’t use anything other than cow’s milk. I can’t see why they wouldn’t work though. It’s one of those things that you will just have to try and see how it goes.
I will answer the same as above. I only bake with real sugar. If you are familiar with baking with sugar substitutes then I would hope that you would already know how to properly substitute sugar in recipes. I will be no help there.
You can cover and store on the counter for a day, in the refrigerator for 4 days and you can freeze this cobbler for up to 3 months (just cover and wrap well to protect against freezer burn.)
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- self-rising flour – y’all already know I swear by White Lily flour. It is my absolute favorite for baking. See my FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section above about using all purpose flour.
- sugar – just regular ole white sugar. I have not tried this with brown sugar. You can use your favorite sugar substitute here.
- milk – I always prefer 2% or higher milk. The fat in milk really gives flavor.
- salted butter – it needs to be real butter, not margarine. Margarine is basically just oil. I like salted butter. It does not make this taste salty. It gives it a nice balance of flavor with the overall sweetness.
- vanilla extract – I actually like the vanilla extract that says “baking vanilla extract.” But if you have a bougie vanilla extract you love, then go for it!
- fresh blueberries – see my notes above about using frozen blueberries. Also, this same recipe can be made with fresh raspberries and blackberries.
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BLUEBERRY COBBLER:
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9×9-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a medium sized bowl, stir together the flour with 1 cup of sugar. Stir in the milk and melted butter.
Then add the vanilla extract and stir until combined. Spread mixture into a prepared baking dish.
Top with blueberries. Sprinkle the top with remaining sugar. Bake on the middle oven rack uncovered for 45 minutes to an hour, until the top is a light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to slightly cool before serving. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

do you have to use self rising? or can you use a cake mix?
This is a simple homemade recipe. I am sure you could find a cake mix version if you Google one 🙂
The blueberries just expand and it is so scrumptious and super easy. I’m going to try doubling it for my family party tomorrow. One thing I did note is I only had and 8X8 pan and I had to cook it quite a bit longer. But really, can’t complain 🙂
Best cobbler ever! Everyone at church raved how good this was and it was so easy!!
So easy! I have tried this recipe with blueberries, peaches, and cherries. Question-can this be adapted to muffin tins? The texture seems like it would be great as a muffin also.
I could not find my recipe for blackberry cobbler so I found this online. The one part I did different other than substituting blackberries for the blueberries was to use vanilla bean paste in the same amount as the extract. I find it has a better, deeper flavor. I will definitely use this recipe from now on. It was better and easier than the one I have been using for years! Excellent!
I like this recipe a lot but I’m curious. if I tried to combine this recipe from another recipe instead of using flour can I use one cup of boxed cake mix. what I need to make any other adjustments
I don’t know. This is my only recipe & I don’t know anything about that other recipe. This is the only way I make it.
The fact that this recipe is so simple makes the incredible taste even better. I will put this recipe in my “forever file.”
Can I use frozen blueberries? imI have a ton of frozen blueberries given to me and I was wondering if that would work for this.
I answer that question in more detail above in the frequently asked questions section 🙂
Wow! Easy and excellent. Family loved it. Hope to try it with fresh peaches soon. Thanks for the great recipe!
Delicious! Picked fresh blueberries and made cobbler. My husband said to not change a thing. A keeper! Can you freeze the baked cobbler?
Yay – so glad you liked it! And yep you can! I answer the question about freezing in a bit more detail above in the frequently asked questions section 🙂
Just like my mom used to make and so simple! It has the perfect about of sweetness. I did add the zest of one large lemon to the batter as I usually do with blueberry anything.
I’m not a fan of cobbler, but my husband is so I looked up a recipe and I used yours. I am a fan of cobbler now. My husband loved it. Thank you for sharing.
5 star rating!

Thanks so very much Lee! I really appreciate you taking the time to come back and comment!

Easy recipe to follow and my mouth is watering. The best blueberry cobbler recipe I have found and not too many ingredients! Thank you for the recipe!
I post everything. Sometimes a recipe is just that good and people really like it. Have you tried it yet?
Excellent! Made with hand-picked blueberries; we and our guests loved it. It’s a keeper!
Delicious cobbler! Thank you for the recipe. It was incredible and super easy!
Excellent recipe. Not a traditional cobbler with blueberries under a “cobbler” topping.
This has a more cake-like feel. I doubled the recipe and cooked it in a 9×13 pan. Added a bit of cinnamon in the batter. Easy and delicous!
The best. So easy and so tasty!
So easy and so yummy.
I have made this recipe lots and lots of times. My family and friends absolutely love it!
That makes me so happy Theresa – thank you!
Delicious! Made one regular and one with gluten free flour and both were great! Everyone loved it!
This blueberry cobbler recipe IS what the name suggests (Best Blueberry Cobbler) and easy to make. I’ve made it many times and my family loves it!
I followed this recipe exactly. I am impressed, it is delicious!!
Made exactly as instructed, and it was SO DELICIOUS with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
So happy you liked it! Thanks so much for coming back to comment!
easy and delicious, Thanks…
Can you used can filling? And still turn out?
It might end up being way too sweet. I’m sure you could. You just may want to adjust the sugar.
I tried it with blueberries, peaches then I made one with blueberries AND peaches which turned out the best but it’s really an easy recipe to add any fruit to just watch any extra liquid that might go in
I love this recipe!
I followed your instructions using all purpose flour but used only 1/2 cup of sugar and gently tapped the fewer blueberries I had, into the batter .
It was delicious as my guests almost finished the dessert .
Easy to enjoy after a dinner
Thank you
This is the best blueberry cobbler recipe I have ever used. It was so yummy. Thanks
Very good recipe! Didn’t change a thing 🙂
I decided to make and take something a little different to my family’s Thanksgiving gathering. Let me tell you, this was such a hit especially with those who aren’t fans of Pumpkin Pie. I really wish I would’ve made two or three of them ha! So so good and my new favorite blueberry cobbler
Can this be made with frozen blueberries or do they have to be fresh?
I talk about that in the FAQ (frequently asked questions) above
I recently tried the Blueberry Cobbler recipe, and it was absolutely fantastic!
Perfection! I wouldn’t change a thing!
So easy and delicious. I used Almond milk and it was just fine.
Unfortunately no. The baking powder in the self rising flour (once mixed with everything else) becomes activated. So if it’s sitting all night (even in the fridge), once you go to bake it, you’re not going to get the optimal result. Technically you can do it but your cobbler part won’t get as light and fluffy. It will take longer to bake & you won’t get the best version of this recipe. Is there a specific reason you want to do that? This recipe literally takes minutes to whip up. The preparation part is quick. It’s the baking part that takes the longest. So because you’d be baking from cold, you’ll have to bake longer so it all ends up being the same amount of time in the end anyways 🙂
Thank you! Yes, I was just trying to minimize chaos on the day of an event ☺️ also will need my oven space to store other items being kept warm prior to serving. I’ll just bake early in the day and will let it sit at room temp after baking until ready to eat. Thanks!
I’m confused, the recipe calls for self rising flour. Did you not use self rising flour? Did you accidentally buy all purpose instead of self rising? The recipe clearly calls for self rising flour. You can even make it yourself if you want but the ingredient list clearly says self rising. I just don’t see the confusion, I’m sorry.
My search is over! The easiest and most delicious cobbler I’ve ever made
Followed exactly, such a surprise and I’m so happy ! One hour start to finish. Perfection, plus no eggs which never taste good in these desserts.
Awww Vana – thanks so very much!!
Made exactly as the recipe states (I hate when people make a bunch of changes on a recipe before trying the original recipe) and it was delicious! I honestly wouldn’t make any tweaks at all. Why mess with a good thing?!
