I know there are all kinds of food related days and months. And while some may seem silly, I’m always for any reason to celebrate food!
Especially when that means celebrating a fruit that is in season.
Like blueberries.
I know I’m hitting the very end of National Blueberry Month, but luckily, blueberries will still be in season for a little while longer.
It’s a good thing, because everyone needs a good blueberry cobbler in their life. And this one is so easy, and fairly fast – you’ll want to whip it up for an easy dessert asap!
What is a Cobbler?
Cobbler, crisp, crumble – it can all get confusing!!
All of these typically start with a baked fruit base, topped with some sort of pastry topping. A crisp or crumble typically have a streusel or oat based topping. On the other hand, cobblers have more of a biscuit topping.
None of these desserts are very fancy, but they are usually quite easy to assemble, and bake up fairly fast.
Cobblers can also be savory, as well, although we think about them as a dessert most of the time.
Ingredients in Blueberry Cobbler
If you have fresh blueberries on hand, you will probably have everything else you need on hand for this blueberry cobbler recipe!
Blueberries – I prefer fresh blueberries, but you can use frozen. See the section below for directions when using frozen blueberries.
Flour – I use all-purpose flour, but you may be able to mix in some whole wheat, if desired.
Sugar – You’ll mix some of the sugar in with the blueberries, some with the topping, plus a sprinkle of sugar on top of the biscuits before they bake.
Lemon Juice and Zest – This helps to bring out the flavors and to brighten up the filling.
Baking Powder – The baking powder helps the biscuit topping to rise. If you don’t have baking powder, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
Salt – Salt will help the flavors come out.
Butter – I use unsalted – if you use salted, cut back on the salt in the recipe.
Milk – When adding the milk, add just as much as you need to have the dough come together.
Using Frozen Blueberries Instead of Fresh
If it’s not blueberry season, and the blueberries at the store are just too much, you can always substitute frozen blueberries for the fresh. There is no need to thaw them, you can just use them straight from the freezer. They may create more liquid once baked, but with a cobbler, that is not a bad thing!

Blueberry Cobbler
Ingredients
- 1 pint blueberries about 2 1/2 cups
- 1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon flour
- 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Combine the blueberries, the 1 teaspoon of flour, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the lemon zest and the lemon juice in a bowl. Mix to combine. Pour the mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In another bowl, mix together the remaining 1/2 cup flour with 1 tablespoon of the sugar, the baking powder, and the salt. Add the butter and cut it into the flour mixture with a fork or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse meal. Stir in the 1/4 cup milk just until combined.
- Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls onto the blueberries. Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar over the top.
- Bake the cobbler for about 30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
- Serve warm with ice cream, if desired.
