Print Recipe

Discover why you’ll love this Warm & Sweet Blackberry Cobbler! A simple, delicious dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (or sweetener of choice)

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or almond milk)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly. Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish.

2. Make the Biscuit Topping:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the dough just comes together.

3. Assemble the Cobbler:
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the blackberry filling. It’s okay if there are gaps; the dough will spread as it bakes.

4. Bake the Cobbler:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the topping is browning too quickly, cover it with foil and continue baking.

 

5. Serve Warm:
Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Berry Substitutions:

    • While blackberries make the base of this cobbler, you can easily swap them for other berries like raspberries, blueberries, or mixed berries if desired. You can even use frozen fruit — just thaw and drain them before using.

  2. Sweetener Options:

    • Feel free to swap granulated sugar for honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute like Stevia or erythritol to make the cobbler a little lighter if you’re avoiding refined sugar.

  3. Topping Texture:

    • For an even richer topping, add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the biscuit dough for a slightly tangy flavor and a fluffier texture.

  4. Vegan Version:

    • For a vegan version, use dairy-free butter (such as coconut oil or vegan margarine) and substitute almond milk or oat milk for the regular milk. Be sure to choose a vegan-friendly sugar alternative too!

  5. Serve with Style:

    • To take this dessert up a notch, serve it with a dollop of homemade whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra cozy touch.

  6. Storage:

    • Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in the microwave for a quick snack or warm it up in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

  7. Make-Ahead Tip:

    • If you’re short on time, prepare the filling the night before and store it in the fridge. In the morning, simply top it with the biscuit dough and bake it as instructed. You’ll have a hot, fresh cobbler with minimal effort!
