This easy blackberry cobbler recipe only requires a few basic ingredients and 10 minutes of prep, which means it’s my dessert of choice when I need something that will impress but doesn’t require much work from me. Every bite of the sweet, tender crust mixed with juicy berries just melts in your mouth!

- Pin this recipe for later!
My family and I love fresh berries in the summertime, and this dessert recipe is the easiest way to use them up. Just throw some blackberries on top of a simple batter, pop it in the oven, and this homemade cobbler will be ready in no time!
Ingredients for Blackberry Cobbler
- Sugar: Granulated sugar works best. Other types of sugar and sugar substitutes may work, but will likely change the flavor. I recommend coarse sugar for the topping, but more granulated sugar can be used as well.
- Flour: All-purpose flour creates the base of the tender cobbler crust.
- Baking Powder: This helps the crust rise and become fluffy.
- Milk: Whole milk adds moisture to the batter.
- Butter: Melt a stick of butter in the microwave, but let it cool slightly before mixing it in.
- Blackberries: Fresh or frozen berries work just fine. No need to thaw if frozen!

Easy Cobbler Variations
My favorite thing about this easy cobbler recipe is that I can swap in any kind of berries I have on hand–that means, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, or even strawberries! Since we’re just sprinkling them and mixing them into the batter before baking, there’s no extra steps or changes needed.
How to Store and Reheat
Store blackberry cobbler in a covered dish at room temperature for up to 3 days, or keep it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. It can be frozen for 2 months.
Reheat in a preheated oven until warmed through, or simply microwave. Thaw first if frozen.

Serving Suggestions
A serving of this old-fashioned blackberry cobbler just isn’t complete without a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I love the way it melts and mixes with the filling when the cobbler is warm! It tastes great with some whipped cream to finish too.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.

Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
