It’s berry season, and around my house, that means cobbler. This blackberry cobbler recipe is simple to prepare, but don’t let that fool you. It’s both easy and delicious. It’s a variation on my nectarine cobbler recipe as well as the canned fruit cobbler recipe. I love simple cobbler recipes, and I decided that it was time to make a blackberry cobbler. This simple and delicious blackberry cobbler recipe definitely lives up to it’s name. You’re going to love it. Even Baker’s Man who isn’t a huge fan of blackberries loves this cobbler.
When I was a child, blackberries grew in our yard. If we would pick the blackberries and deliver them to the kitchen, my mom would make blackberry cobblers. Those blackberry vines were covered with thorns, so we would get scratched up, but it was worth it. My mom’s blackberry cobblers were delicious. In fact, blackberry cobbler was my favorite growing up.

How do you make this simple blackberry cobbler?
Making this blackberry cobbler really is a 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 blackberries 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.
Hopefully, by this time, the oven will be preheated, so you can pop the blackberry cobbler into the oven to bake. In the oven is where the impossible happens. It’s sort of like magic. As everything bakes, the batter rises to the top and the berries sink to the bottom.
The result is an amazing blackberry cobbler that’s delicious served with a scoop of ice cream or topped with some whipped cream. The crust is golden brown and slightly crisp while the filling is sweet and gooey and loaded with the flavor of blackberries. I always allow the the cobbler sit at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to allow it to cool enough so no one will burn their mouths on the hot, sugary filling.
Baker’s Man loves his blackberry cobbler, and pretty much any kind of cobbler, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but I enjoy it with a large dollop of whipped cream. Whenever my mother made blackberry cobbler for us, she would serve the warm pieces in a bowl and top them with a splash of half and half. The cobbler would sit in a shallow pool of half and half and it was delicious as the half and half mixed with the sweet and gooey filling as we ate it.

I love cobblers. Also grew up (in Connecticut) picking thorny blackberries. You are right… an easy recipe with magical results. Back in tne day, we whipped cream for the topping. Thank you for a delightful summer memory. Brenda – back in the desert. 🌵
Brenda, thank you for the comment. It’s good to know I wasn’t the only child attacked by blackberry vines in the summer. My mom always made homemade whipped cream when we had cream, but that was mostly on holidays and special occasions. I love this cobbler recipe. It really is like magic when the berries sink and the crust rises.
