This Blueberry Cobbler is so easy to make and oh so satisfying! It will come out of the oven warm and gooey and is perfect when combined with some vanilla ice cream.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Servings:8 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter, chilled
  • 4 cups blueberries
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla, divided
  • 1 ½ cups sugar, divided
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon, optional
  • 1 cup milk
  • vanilla ice cream for serving
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream, optional
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While oven is preheating combine blueberries, lemon juice, vanilla, and 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl. Stir gently to combine.
  • Cut butter into tablespoons and place in a 9x13 inch pan. Transfer to the oven and allow butter to melt while you prepare the cobbler batter. Remove pan from oven once the butter is melted.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour, remaining 1 cup sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon (if using). Whisk in milk and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla.
  • Arrange blueberry mixture in an even layer in the 9x13 pan on top of the butter. Spoon the cobbler mixture over the blueberries covering as much of the blueberry layer as possible.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until cobbler topping is golden brown and blueberry mixture is bubbly and gooey around the edges.
  • Brush cobbler topping with heavy cream and immediately sprinkle with coarse sugar (this step is optional but provides a beautiful crust!). Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

Notes

Butter: for best flavor use real butter, not margarine. 
Blueberries: I prefer using fresh blueberries, but if you only have frozen you can either thaw them beforehand, being sure to let them drain any excess water from the ice crystals OR you can bake them from frozen and add 4 tablespoons of flour to the blueberry-sugar mixture in step 1. 
Milk: avoid skim or fat free milk. 
Storage and Reheating: You probably won't have any BUT if you do, allow the cobbler to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven-safe dish at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes until heated throughout (you can also use a microwave but your cobbler crust will not be as crisp.)
