Old-Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler

Summer is all about the cobbler. And although this old-fashioned blackberry cobbler maybe not be as cosmetically perfect as pie, she’s still extremely delicious.

I personally am a big fan of any kind of cobbler: crumbles, buckles, spoon cakes, etc. I will eat them all—believe me.

This particular blackberry cobbler leans a little more toward being a spoon cake, because you spoon the batter over the berries before baking.

You can use fresh or frozen berries. And you can choose your favorite. I went with all blackberries (’tis the season). But strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or a mix of any/all would be be divine as well.

Old-Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler Ingredients:

• Blackberries
• Eggs
• Melted Butter
• Brown Sugar
• White Sugar
• Vanilla Extract
• Milk
• All-Purpose Flour
• Baking Powder
• Salt

Is Cobbler Supposed to be Gooey?

Yes. This blackberry cobbler will have a few textures. The fruit will be juicy while the cobbler crust will be a spongy cake texture. If you add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which I highly recommend, this will add a little more moisture.

Other Fruit-Based Desserts:

• Strawberry and Poppy Seed Pie
• Vegan Mixed Berry Crisp
• Black and Blue Cobbler
• No-Bake Banana Cream Pie
• Blueberry Pie

Serve warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. The melted ice cream mixed in with the warm blackberries is the best! Enjoy. xo. Emma

fresh or frozen blackberries with a cobbler top

Yield 8 servings

Prep 5 minutes mins

Cook 40 minutes mins

Total 45 minutes mins

Ingredients

1x2x3x

• ▢ 36 ounces blackberries (7-8 cups)
• ▢ ¼ cup brown sugar
• ▢ ½ cup butter (melted and cooled )
• ▢ ½ cup granulated white sugar
• ▢ 2 eggs
• ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ▢ ¼ cup milk
• ▢ 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ▢ 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ▢ ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

• In a 9×13 baking dish, add the berries and then sprinkle the brown sugar over the top.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the butter and granulated white sugar.
• Then, stir in the eggs, vanilla, and milk until combined.
• In a smaller bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient bowl until a batter forms (similar to cake batter consistency).
• Spoon the batter over the top of the berries and use the bottom of the spoon to spread the batter in an even layer.
• Bake at 350°F for 40-42 minutes until the edges are crisp and golden.
• Allow to cool some before serving. But I like to serve this warm with ice cream (so it melts the ice cream while you eat).

Notes

You can use fresh or frozen berries.
