Making the Blueberry Cobbler
(scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe)
Ingredients You Will Need
- Blueberries
- Lemon juice
- Granulated sugar
- Cornstarch
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Granulated sugar
- Salt
- Unsalted butter
- Heavy whipping cream
- Buttermilk
Fresh vs. Frozen Blueberries
Frozen blueberries will work perfectly fine in this recipe! The only adjustments we recommend is 1) adding an additional 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch to the filling to account for the extra water in frozen berries. 2) add an extra 5 minutes to bake time.
No need to thaw the berries either! They can go straight from the freezer into the filling.
Tips for Perfect Cobbler
- Add lemon juice to blueberries – this brightens up the blueberries and perfectly balances the fruity flavors.
- Measure flour correctly – we use the spoon-and-level technique for measuring flour as this will prevent over-measuring your flour. Use a spoon to scoop flour into the measuring cup, then level with the back of a knife.
- Use cold butter for topping – this will help the biscuit-like topping rise nice and high.
- Gently fold batter – use a light hand when mixing the cobbler batter and gently fold so as not to overmix.
- Bake cobbler until fruit is bubbly – the fruit filling should be just slightly bubbling and the topping should be a light golden brown.
Recipe Variations
Try these ideas for a different twist on this cobbler!
- Use a different berry – try strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries in place of the blueberries. Feel free to use several types of berries as well!
- Make it extra-lemony – add 1 teaspoon lemon zest to the filling and another 1 teaspoon to the cobbler topping.
- Spice the topping – for a warm spiced flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg to the cobbler topping.
How To Serve Cobbler
This cobbler is best served warm from the oven with either a big scoop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream or both!
If you would like to make this cobbler ahead of time for serving, you can reheat individual servings in the microwave or pop the dish back in a 350F oven for 10-15 minutes.
Seriously a bowl full of absolute cobbler perfection! The juicy sweet blueberries are so insanely good with the flaky biscuit topping and obviously a big ol’ scoop of whipped cream or ice cream takes things from good to utterly insane.
Best-ever, hands down! But don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself!

I’m with you, Sarah! I can’t wait to make everything apples and pumpkins, but I’m not sharing just yet. I want summer to last as long as possible! And this definitely looks like the best blueberry cobbler. Your pictures are flawless! I could go for a big ‘ole scoop of this for breakfast, with some vanilla ice cream!
Sarah says
Yea! I am SO glad I’m not the only one who’s hanging on to August still! 😉 And I’m totally loving your idea of having this for breakfast with ice cream. I think I may join you on that one. 😀
Rachael | Spache the Spatula says
Okay, first of all, I’m also doing my best to resist the pull of Fall foods. I had to open a can of pumpkin last week to make a recipe for another site that won’t go up til Fall, and now, all I want is everything Autumn-inspired, ahhh!
Second, this cobbler is UH-MAZING! I want 3 servings of it all at once 😀
Sarah says
Hahaha! Never underestimate the pull of fall foods! And oh, I just bought two of my first cans of pumpkin but STILL haven’t opened them yet! Soon, soon. 🙂
I like how you’re thinking 3 servings at once too! Genius.
Olivia - Primavera Kitchen says
Sarah, I am with you we are still in August so please keep posting your awesome summer recipes like this one! I really enjoy it 😉
Sarah says
Totally agree, Olivia! Bring on the summer food still! 🙂
Danielle says
I’m definitely resisting the fall foods too, but I’ll have a few months to devote to pumpkin and fall soon! This cobbler looks incredible and those biscuits? To die for! Pinning this one.
Sarah says
That’s what I figure too, Danielle! We have basically like 3 months solid of all things pumpkin and apple, so there’s no need to rush into it. LOL. Thanks for pinning the cobbler, girl!
Lindsey @ American Heritage Cooking says
I wouldn’t share this cobbler either! Way to stay strong with the summer desserts! I’m trying not to think about pumpkin season mostly because I have zero pumpkin posts planned. I am still stuck on summer produce – probably because its 100 degrees down here!
Sarah says
The main reason I’m probably having such a tough time resisting fall’s pull is because I have about a 2 mile-long list of fall recipes I want to try this year! LOL. Also, I just broke down and bought two cans of pumpkin that are BURNING hole in my mind the longer they sit in the pantry. LOL.
And eeee! We’re supposed to hit 100 degrees today with full-on humidity!
Joanne says
I am getting a little excited for fall….but I am SO GOING TO MISS SUMMER. Must eat all the cobbler now, while I still can.
Sarah says
Totally! Stuff your face with blueberry cobbler while ‘ya still can, I say! 😉
Kelly // The Pretty Bee: Cooking & Creating says
