Blueberry Cobbler

This Blueberry Cobbler recipe with bisquick is the perfect summer dessert, and it’s easier than pie! Serve it warm with ice cream on top.

We love that this dessert recipe is easy to make with fresh blueberries and Bisquick. Bring it to a Fourth of July celebration or holiday dinner.

One of my extended family's favorite desserts is berry cobbler. My mom often makes raspberry or mixed berry cobbler. She has to double the recipe so that there is enough to go around. This bisquick blueberry cobbler recipe is adapted from the recipe she passed down to me.

Ingredients Needed and Substitutes

This is one of those desserts you can make at a moment’s notice as long as you have fresh, frozen, or canned blueberries on hand! Put in in the oven before dinner, and dessert will be ready when you want it.

• Bisquick: You can make your own homemade bisquick via my recipe here if you don't have a box of store-bought bisquick on hand.
• Sugar: You’ll need equal amounts of granulated sugar and brown sugar. We use a combination of both for the best flavor and texture, but you can use all of either one if you prefer.
• Vanilla: The vanilla extract adds flavor. You could also use almond extract or lemon extract instead of vanilla.
• Cinnamon: We added a little ground cinnamon for extra flavor. You can skip this if you prefer.
• Milk: Whole milk adds moisture and fat. Although you can use other milk, we suggest using whole milk for the best results.
• Butter: We used salted butter for this recipe. If you want to use unsalted butter, you’ll need to add a little salt.
• Blueberries: Fresh, frozen, and canned blueberries all work in this blueberry cobbler recipe. But if you want to use frozen blueberries, you will need to allow them to thaw for about 30 minutes and drain the excess juice before adding them to the cobbler.

How To Make Blueberry Cobbler

Making a cobbler is easier than pie! The blueberries are spooned over a simple batter that comes together in minutes.

• Batter: Make a batter for the cobbler by combining the bisquick baking mix, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, and milk.
• Assembly: To assemble the cobbler, start with the melted butter, add the batter, and top with the blueberries.
• Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until golden brown.

Variations

Can I use this recipe to make other types of berry cobbler?

Yes, the blueberries in this blueberry cobbler recipe can be substituted with an equal amount of other berries. Or you can even use a mixture of berries! Here are a few flavors to try:

• Raspberry: You can use fresh or frozen raspberries. If your raspberries aren’t very sweet, you can lightly coat them with one tablespoon of sugar. Do not thaw frozen raspberries before using them due to their delicate nature.
• Strawberry: You’ll need to slice or dice the strawberries before using them. If you choose frozen ones, look for the sliced bag and thaw them before using them.
• Blackberry: Fresh, frozen, or canned blackberries can be used. Drain the excess juice before adding them to the cobbler. As with the raspberries, you can sprinkle the blackberries with a tablespoon of sugar if needed.
• Mixed Berry: Use a combination of your favorite berries or whatever ones you have on hand!

What other cobblers can I make with this recipe?

This blueberry cobbler recipe is versatile and can be used to make other kinds of fruit cobbler in addition to the berry varieties. Since we have different fruits available at different times of this year, this is the perfect opportunity to make a seasonal cobbler.

Of course, different fruits may require you to adjust baking times. They will have various amounts of juice in them. In addition, you can adapt the spices you add to fit the fruit you use. One way to make this easier is to use canned pie filling!
