Ingredients

Fruit Mixture

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Cobbler Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Optional

  • Granulated sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch or 8×11-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine Blueberries and Dry Ingredients: In the prepared baking dish, stir together the blueberries, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of flour. This mixture will help thicken the fruit juices as the cobbler bakes.
  3. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, mix together the remaining 1 cup of flour, ¼ cup sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add the egg, milk, and oil, stirring until fully combined. The batter will be thick and slightly sticky.
  4. Top the Fruit with Batter: Drop the batter over the blueberry mixture by tablespoonfuls. It’s okay if the batter doesn’t fully cover the fruit; it will spread and bake into a crisp topping. If desired, sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top for extra crunch and sweetness.
  5. Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is thick and bubbly. If the topping browns too quickly but the filling is still runny, cover the dish loosely with foil and continue baking until done.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the filling to thicken further for the perfect texture.

Notes

  • This recipe works well with a variety of fresh or frozen fruits. If using frozen fruit, increase the flour in the fruit mixture to ¼ cup to help achieve a thicker sauce.
  • For added fiber, substitute part of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour in the batter.
  • Sprinkling sugar on top before baking adds a delightful crunchy texture to the cobbler topping.
