Easy Blueberry Cobbler

As much as we love blueberry pie and blueberry muffins, in the pantheon of summer blueberry recipes, we’d stand by this easy blueberry cobbler recipe time and time again. Why? It goes from concept to cooling rack in less than an hour, and the prep time required maxes out at 10 minutes. It’s a beautifully straightforward blueberry dessert, perfect for summer entertaining. 

You can use fresh blueberries or frozen here, but if using frozen, don’t thaw them first lest their juices sog up the works before the batter has had time to set. We like using a little nutmeg to season this cobbler, but you could swap it out for (or keep it in addition to) some vanilla extract, lemon zest, cinnamon, or coriander, which has a particular affinity for blueberries. If your fruit is lackluster, toss the berries with about 1 Tbsp. lemon juice and a little extra sugar before adding them to the pan. And if you’re trying to use up a fridge full of raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, or currants, feel free to mix and match as you please to reach 2 cups of fruit (deseeded if necessary).

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Leftovers are unlikely but can be stored in an airtight container. Reheat in a warm oven—or eat cold, late at night, while standing in front of the fridge. Now on to peach cobbler, cherry cobbler, and more in our collection of the easiest summer desserts.
