If you like peach cobbler or a good blackberry freezer jam… You will LOVE this easy berry cobbler recipe! It’s made from good old fashioned pantry staples, but it makes a heavenly dessert that quickly becomes a favorite!

This bake has been a long time coming… I wanted to be able to make this deliciously nostalgic blackberry cobbler before we bought our land… So I planted blackberry starts in rows before we even built the farmhouse! My blackberries are 3 years old now, and we are finally harvesting enough;)

Simple Ingredients

The base of this easy recipe is made of 6 cups fresh or frozen blackberries.. That’s it! (You can also use any of your favorite berries, or a mixture, in the recipe;)

The simple cobbler topping is made with just a few pantry staples: all purpose flour and sugar mixed with a little baking powder, a pinch of salt, milk and melted butter…. Super simple!

How to Make Blackberry Cobbler

To make this delicious recipe, you just add your berries to an 8×8 pan. The make the cobbler topping.

In a medium mixing bowl add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup melted butter. And then whisk thee ingredients together just till well blended. Don’t beat it or over mix because that could change the texture;)

After that you’ll just pour your cobbler batter over the berries and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for an hour… Till its golden on top and and bubble on the sides.

Storing Blackberry Cobbler

Short-Term Storage

For optimal freshness, store your cobbler at room temperature, covered loosely with plastic wrap, for up to 3 days. This will help maintain the cobbler’s texture and flavor.

Longer-Term Storage

If you have leftovers beyond 3 days, transfer the cobbler to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week. While the cobbler will still be enjoyable, the topping might lose some of its crispiness.

Freezing Blackberry Cobbler

For longer storage, you can freeze your cobbler. Let it cool completely before wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Place it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through.

Note: The texture might change slightly after freezing and thawing, but the delicious berry filling will still shine through.

Notes

  • Berry Variations: This cobbler recipe would defiantly go great with different berry combinations! Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries all work well.
  • Topping Twists: For a crunchier topping, add a handful of chopped pecan or walnuts to the top of the prepper cobbler before baking.
  • Ice Cream Pairings: This cobbler is particularly delicious served with vanilla ice cream, but it also pairs well with other flavors like cutter pecan, chocolate chip cookie dough or salted caramel.
  • Make Ahead! You can prepare the berry filling up to a day in advance for added convenience. Just store in the fridge till you're ready to bake. The berries will bleed into the batter a bit more this way, but it will still be delicious!
  • Gluten-Free Option: You can make a gluten-free version of this blackberry cobbler, by using a gluten-free flour blend for the cobbler batter;)
