Peach cobbler is a staple dessert during the summer. I love peaches and I love cobbler. One of my other favorite types of cobblers is this amazing blackberry cobbler recipe.

If you are a fan of cobblers and a fan of blackberries you will absolutely love this fresh homemade blackberry cobbler recipe. And the awesome part is, it is simple to make. The whole thing comes together in just about 5 minutes, then you just have to let it bake. If I can do it, you can do it, let’s get baking!

Step 1: Gather the ingredients

Several ingredients in glass bowls on a white countertop.

This blackberry cobbler is so incredibly easy to make you just need a handful of everyday ingredients. Most of which you probably already have in your home:

  • Flour – All purpose/plain flour, although you can also use self-rising flour if you like.
  • Sugar
  • Butter – I normally use unsalted butter, but you can use salted butter too if you like. Non-dairy butter will work too.
  • Milk – Whole milk is my preference, but you can use other milk, including almond milk or other non-dairy milk.
  • Salt
  • Baking powder
  • Blackberries – You can’t make blackberry cobbler without blackberries! I love using fresh blackberries, but you can used thawed out frozen ones as well.
  • Cinnamon – This is optional
  • Nutmeg – This is also optional

Tools

  • 13×9 inch pan, or smaller if you want the blackberry cobbler thicker
  • Spatula
  • Cooking spray
  • Bowl
  • Whisk

Step 2: How to make homemade blackberry cobbler

Hand whisking blackberry cobbler batter in a medium glass bowl.

Preheat the oven to 375 F/190 C.

This cobbler batter is super simple to make. In a medium to a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

Then pour in the milk and mix. Use a whisk or wooden spoon to mix it all together. And voila, the batter is ready to go. Pretty darn easy right?

If you like you can add a few pinches of cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter.

Take an 8×11-inch to 9×13-inch pan and lightly spray the sides with cooking spray. Then melt the butter either in the microwave or on the stovetop and pour it onto the bottom of the pan.

Next, pour the cobbler batter right on top of the melted butter. Spread it out as necessary with a spatula, but don’t stir or mix it in with the butter.

TipIf you want a thicker blackberry cobbler use a smaller pan like an 8×11-inch pan. I kind of like this cobbler on the thinner side most of the time, so I usually use my 9×13-inch pan.

Step 3: Add those blackberries and bake that cobbler!

Now evenly sprinkle the fresh blackberries on the top. Or you can use thawed-out frozen blackberries as well. Follow that up with a few pinches of cinnamon and nutmeg. Although those are optional. But I usually always add them.

Bake in the middle rack position for 35 to 45 minutes until the top is nice and golden brown. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve plain, with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream, or topped with whipped cream, whatever you like. Enjoy!

TipI recommend making it like this the first time, and then if you find it to be a little too sweet, reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup or even 1/2 cup.

How long does blackberry cobbler last?

The cobbler will last 3 to 4 days if stored in an airtight container in the fridge. You may also freeze the baked cobbler for a few months.

    Served this for dessert on the 4th of July and it was a big hit! Used blackberries on one side and blueberries on the other… I loved both but honestly the blueberry side was my favorite. It looked so good right out of the oven it was gone before we remembered to serve it with ice cream! Thanks for this recipe — it will be used often! I want to try it with pineapple & pecan next…
