How to make blueberry cobbler?

This recipe has a quick prep so in order to speed up the whole process, turn your oven first. Preheat it to 350 Fahrenheit (180 Celsius).

Next, prepare the topping: In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter with sugar, then add egg, vanilla extract and baking powder mixed with flour. Mix until combined.

Fill a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with frozen blueberries and add cornstarch. Mix well with your fingers so that the blueberries are coated evenly. Drizzle over 2 tablespoons of honey and spoon the batter over.

How long to bake blueberry cobbler?

Note that cooking time will vary, depending on the type of baking dish you use and your oven (its size, performance) and also whether you use frozen, partially thawed or fresh berries.

Count with about 30 (for fresh) to 40 minutes (for frozen blueberries) but keep an eye on it. If you see that the topping on your berry cobbler is set and nicely golden brown on top, and berries are bubbling away, it’s a sign this simple berry dessert is ready.

Possible substitutions/variations

• Other fruits of your choice or a combination of berries – blackberries, rhubarb (mix with sugar to increase the level of sweetness), peach (the classic),…
• White/brown sugar – any kind will work and the amount you use depends on your preference. This recipe was specially developed to keep the levels of sweetener as low as possible, especially in the filling. However, keep in mind that the sweetness of berries or other fruits will vary.
• Add cinnamon and lemon juice or zest to blueberries for extra flavor!
• Use more berries if you have more on hand.
• Omit or reduce cornstarch if you prefer having more juices.

Optional topping and garnish ideas

• Vanilla ice cream – The combination of cold and warm is delightful
• Whipped cream – A simple add-on, but completely optional
• Fresh mint – a few leaves as a garnish
• Lemon zest – a sprinkle of freshly grated zest for an extra flavor as well as a hint of color

Cobbler has a similar preparation to a crisp. In both cases, the main star is the fruit and because you can use various types, both desserts can be enjoyed all year round, depending on what you have on hand.

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit (180 Celsius).
• In a mixing bowl, beat together softened butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla extract, and flour combined with baking powder. Mix until you get a smooth batter. Set aside. If too soft, put it in the fridge for 10 minutes.
• Fill a 10-inch cast iron skillet with frozen berries. Add cornstarch and mix the berries around until they are all evenly coated with cornstarch. Drizzle with honey (don’t mix). Spoon the topping over (no need to cover all the berries).
• Bake at 350 Fahrenheit (180 Celsius) for 40 minutes or until the filling bubbles away and the topping is nice golden brown.
• Serve as is, with ice cream or anything you like.

Notes

1. You can use either brown or white sugar.
2. Fresh blueberries will also work. The cooking time will be probably about 10 minutes shorter. You will need slightly over 1-pound (450-grams) of berries.
3. For fresh berries, either reduce or omit completely the cornstarch.
4. If your berries are rather sour, you can increase the sweetener. Also instead of honey, regular sugar or brown sugar can be used.
5. Cooking time may vary. This will depend on your oven, the oven dish you use as well as how frozen the berries are.
6. Instead of a 10-inch cast iron skillet, use any 10-inch round dish or a square or rectangular 10×13-inch dish. There is plenty of topping for the 10×13-inch dish, but the berry layer will be flatter.
7. Storage: Transfer to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. Or, freeze in a freezer-friendly container. Thaw before serving.
8. More tips, optional add-ons as well as answers to FAQs are in the post above this recipe card.
