Since I always have more berries than we can eat when they’re ripe, I freeze a lot of them to enjoy in recipes like this cobbler and my go-to berry breakfast bars all year long. It’s simple, cozy, and one of those desserts that just feels like summer.
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
- Cornstarch – Helps thicken the berry filling so it’s not too runny.
- Granulated Sugar – Adds just the right amount of sweetness. If you’re using a lot of blackberries, you can increase the sugar to 1 cup since they tend to be tart.
- Fresh or Frozen Berries – I love using fresh berries when I have them, but frozen berries work wonderfully, too. No need to thaw them first!
How To Make Berry Cobbler
Quick, easy and perfect for your backyard BBQs this summer!
STEP 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch, granulated sugar, and water over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Once boiling, remove from heat and whisk in the butter until melted. Set aside.
STEP 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until fully combined.
STEP 3
Spread the berries out evenly in the baking dish. Pour the cornstarch mixture evenly over the berries.
STEP 4
Pour the batter over the top of the berries and smooth it out as best as you can. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges.
STEP 5
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
💡Expert Tips
- If using strawberries, cut the larger ones into smaller pieces so they bake evenly.
- You can mix berries like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries for a great blend of flavors.
- If you’re using frozen fruit, just keep in mind that it can create a more liquidy filling. For the best results, try to use fewer strawberries than other berries, since they have a higher moisture content.
