Easy Blackberry Cobbler Recipe

· Modified: by · This post may contain affiliate links · 6 Comments

Easy Blackberry Cobbler is an older Betty Crocker recipe where you toss blackberries with sugar and throw them in a pan with an easy batter made of flour, baking powder, salt, milk and melted butter.

Here's a link to the original recipe. It's a little bit different from my others. Most of my cobblers involve melting butter directly in the pan, pouring on a sweet batter, then adding the sweetened berries. In this recipe the batter doesn't have any sugar so it tends to rise a little higher and bake up fluffier. So you get plenty of sweetness from the fruit filling, but the cake is more biscuit-like.

Betty's recipe was pretty basic and didn't call for any spices, but I always add a little cinnamon or cardamom in with the berries.

Originally from Betty Crocker, in this recipe the sugar is only on the berries and not in the cake batter portion.

Equipment

  • 1 8-inch square glass baking dish 2 quarts

Ingredients
 

Fruit Filling

  • 2 ½ cups fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup sugar (200 grams)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional) or cardamom

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (140 grams)
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons butter, melted (114 grams)
  • 1 cup milk (160 grams)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Have ready an 8-inch square baking dish. No need to grease it.
  • In a large bowl, toss the berries with the sugar and cinnamon and let stand for 20 minutes. A syrup should form.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt and milk, then stir in melted butter.
  • Spread the batter in the pan, the pan, then spoon the berries in the center.
  • Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until batter is golden brown.

Notes

You can cut the sugar by a tiny bit if you want to.  I usually use a scant 1 cup which is about 180 grams or 1 cup minus about 2 tablespoons.  1 cup seems like a lot, but with all of the peaches and butter, it ends up not being overly sweet.  But I still like to use just shy of a cup.

    Hi Valerie,

    From what I remember about this recipe (and some other cobblers), the batter kind of rises to the top as it bakes.

  2. Valerie Pustorino says

    I'm confused. The pic shows the batter on top but the recipe says put the blackberries on top.
    ?

    Hi Anna, I just made berry cobbler a few days ago from a super easy recipe. I used frozen raspberries because that is what I had on hand, but I'm sure it would amazing with blackberries, although it used a bit of sugar!
