This blueberry cobbler recipe is both easy and delicious. It’s a variation on my nectarine cobbler and blackberry cobbler recipes as well as the canned fruit cobbler recipe. I love simple cobbler recipes, and since it’s berry season, I decided that it was time to make a blueberry cobbler. This easy and delicious blueberry cobbler recipe definitely lives up to it’s name. You won’t be disappointed with the results.
Fresh seasonal fruit and cobblers is something that I have enjoyed since I was a child. My mother used to make cobblers with whatever seasonal fruit was available. We didn’t have access to fresh blueberries where we lived, so blueberry cobblers weren’t something I grew up eating, but I have grown to love them.

How do you make the Easy and Delicious Blueberry Cobbler?
Making this blueberry cobbler is a really simple process. The first thing you need to do is put the butter or margarine in the bottom of your baking pan. Turn the oven on to preheat, and stick the pan in the oven to melt the butter.
While you’re waiting for the butter to melt, mix together the milk, flour, sugar, and baking powder to make the batter. Pull the pan out of the oven as soon as the butter is melted and pour the batter over the melted butter and spread it out to the corners of the pan.
Evenly distribute the blueberries on top of the batter. This is not a mistake. Put the berries on top of the batter, arranging them so they are evenly distributed. Then, sprinkle the top with the reserved sugar.
By this time, the oven will be preheated, so you can pop the blueberry cobbler in the oven to bake. In the oven is where the magic happens. As everything bakes, the batter rises to the top and the berries sink to the bottom.
The result is a beautiful blueberry cobbler that’s delicious served with a scoop of ice cream or topped with some whipped cream. The crust is golden and slightly crisp while the filling is sweet and gooey and loaded with the flavor of blueberries. I like to let the cobbler sit at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes to allow it to cool enough, so no one will burn their mouths. (My eldest son severely burned his tongue from scarfing down a dessert that was way too hot, so we’re always cautious.)
I don’t know if I prefer my cobbler served with ice cream or whipped cream. When I was a child, my mother would serve pieces of warm cobbler topped with a small amount of half and half poured over the top.

Thank you so much for this amazing recipe! So easy and tasty! Highly recommended! Will surely make this again!
Alyssa, I am so glad you enjoyed it. It’s very versatile. You can make this with any type of fruit.
I’ve never started a cobbler with melted butter at the bottom of the pan. Definitely will be trying out this recipe!
Liz, my family has been making this cobbler forever. I like that I can be making the batter while the butter melts in the oven. The butter and the fruit become incorporated during the baking process. It’s like magic.
This was absolutely delicious and comes together so quickly! I didn’t change a thing and followed your instructions exactly. It has the perfect crust: buttery, comforting and YUM!! We didn’t have any vanilla ice cream so we served it with a little Cool Whip-scrumptious!! Thanks very much for sharing it. I will be mentioning your website when folks as for the recipe – I know they will. I will also check out some of your other recipes.
