What’s in Blackberry Cobbler?
- Blackberries: Fresh or frozen (and thawed) blackberries are used in this recipe, but you can use any berries or a combination of berries you like! Swap the blackberries for blueberries, peaches, apples, or cherries.
- Topping: Simple pantry staples are all you need to make the biscuit-like topping for this recipe. Feel free to use a gluten-free flour blend, a sugar-free substitute, or make a buttermilk substitute, if needed. Use unsalted butter for the best results.
- Variations: Dress up a blackberry cobbler with a sprinkle of homemade granola, chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds before baking. For a more intense sweet-tart flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or a teaspoon of lemon zest to the fruit filling.
Leftovers for Later
Cobblers can be baked up to a day ahead and served warm, room temperature, or chilled, so they’re perfect for last-minute guests or invites. Keep leftover blackberry cobbler covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

-
In a large saucepan, combine the blackberries, 1 cup sugar, and cinnamon. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil.
-
In a bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth, stir into fruit mixture. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
-
Pour into a greased 8″ square baking pan.
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
In a small bowl, combine the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in milk just until moistened. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto hot berry mixture.
-
Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Serve warm, with whipped topping or ice cream if desired.
- Buttermilk amount will vary. The topping should be moist enough to hold together when pinched between a few fingers but not so moist that it’s wet.
- Refrigerate leftovers for 3-4 days.
- Cobbler filling can be made ahead and frozen for up to 3 months. Bake filling alone from frozen for 30-40 minutes, then add topping and bake an additional 20-25 minutes.
