Best Blueberry Cobbler Recipe
Best Blueberry Cobbler Recipe is a juicy blueberry dessert that comes together in 10 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
No gathering is ever a one person show. My friend Kristy and I hosted a dinner together, because it’s just easier when you don’t have to do it all yourself. And friends, I want to tell you about my new book out this year, Big Boards for Families! You can preorder it now!
Best Blueberry Cobbler Recipe
We made a few salads, toasted bread in the oven, and served a summer-fresh Best Blueberry Cobbler Recipe. Perfect for a hot night with vanilla ice cream. [If you really want to serve it right, make my mom’s Old-Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream recipe.]
Blueberry Cobbler
Truly, sharing the load for a dinner party makes it a lot more fun. When Kristy said, I’ll bring dessert, I knew she was bringing Grandma Roth’s Blueberry Cobbler.
Everyone has a “family” cobbler recipe, right? The church that Kristy and I grew up in has a church cookbook and it’s full of cobbler recipes. Many my mom made, too.
This blueberry cobbler just screams summer!! You can make ahead or serve it warm out of the oven with vanilla ice cream.
Whipped cream is also delish on top!
Ingredients for making blueberry cobbler
- Blueberries (you can use fresh or frozen)
- Lemon
- Butter
- Milk
- Sugar
- Salt + baking powder
- Flour
- Vanilla extract
- Cornstarch
The secret is the 2 cups of boiling hot water that you pour over the mixture right before baking.
So moist and delish!
It’s also “peach” season so if you love a yummy-almond crust, then try my Peach Blueberry Cobbler!
Our Crossfit ladies came, our common interest being that we all work out together in the same Crossfit gym. These ladies are so dear to my heart.
And everyone loved the dessert.
How do you make a blueberry cobber?
- Spray a 9×13 cake pan. On the bottom, lay the blueberries and juice of 1 lemon.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, 1 cup sugar, salt, baking powder, flour, and vanilla. Spread the mixture over the fruit.
- In the same bowl, add the remaining 1 cup of sugar and cornstarch. Mix together and sprinkle on top of the cobbler mixture.
- Over the entire cobbler pour 2 cups of boiling water.
- Bake and serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
The beauty of food
But here’s the beauty of food. It connects and binds and makes us laugh and tell our stories. [Table details below: MacKenzie-Childs Enamelware Courtly Check Dinner Plates (affiliate link), orange glasses from Ginger’s Kitchenware (downtown Bend, OR), tablecloth from Target, my husband made me the bench!]
As a hostess, I love to look around the table and see those rich connections made between people we love.
Honestly, friends, why do I host so much?
The people who come into our homes are important. They count. They matter.
Hosting is not what we do, but how we love.
So set out some good food and start inviting and making new friends, or invite some friends who’ve been in your life for years!
Happy hosting!

Notes
Hello and welcome to my home and table!
I’m Sandy—lover of food, family, cooking, THE BIG BOARD, travel, and bringing people together. Through great recipes and connection around the table, we become better, stronger, and more courageous people. Feasting on Life is real, and every time we do it, we grow a little more. Read more...
Can you put this together in the pan, refrigerate and bake later in day?
We haven’t tried this. Personally I’d prepare the berries, and then the batter separately and assemble and bake it later in the day!
This blueberry cobbler is fantastic and so easy, which is always a big plus in my book. I used frozen blueberries which didn’t detract at all from the taste. Served it with a vanilla gelato. Everyone loved it!
Do I thaw the frozen berries first? thanks
You don’t have to!
This blueberry cobbler recipe is delicious! Even though I only had 2 cups of blueberries it turned out great! My husband had to have seconds!
Is a disposable aluminum pan ok to use? If so, does cooking time/temp vary?
Sure you can use a disposable pan, although we haven’t tried this recipe in one. Just watch the baking time; every oven is different (but it would pretty much be the same). You can tell when the cobbler is done :))
Do you use self rising flour or all purpose?
All purpose flour.
great recipe! thank you!! Delicious 😋
I’m one of those people that don’t usually comment. I see a lot of “the best” recipes, but I’m usually disappointed. But you NAILED it‼️. Thank You
