This Blackberry Cobbler is a true old-fashioned favorite — sweet-tart blackberries baked beneath a soft, buttery topping. It’s simple, rustic, and absolutely delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Prep Time

- Cook Time: 40 minutes
- Total Time: 55 minutes
Equipment
- 9×9-inch baking dish
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk or spoon
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)
For the Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Ingredient Notes
- Blackberries: Fresh is best, but frozen works perfectly — just don’t thaw before baking.
- Cornstarch: Helps the filling thicken and set nicely.
- Butter: Creates that signature buttery crust when baked.
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Set oven to 350°F (175°C). - Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Set aside to let the juices start releasing. - Make the Batter:
In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until smooth. - Add Butter:
Pour melted butter into the bottom of your baking dish. Do not stir. - Assemble the Cobbler:
Pour the batter over the butter — again, do not stir. Spoon the blackberry mixture evenly over the batter. The batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes. - Bake:
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. - Serve:
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
