Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh blackberries
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Baking and Seasoning:
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Liquid and Binding:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
- Spread fresh blackberries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a vibrant fruity base.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add milk, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until a smooth, silky batter forms.
- Carefully pour the batter over the blackberries, ensuring it spreads uniformly but does not completely cover the fruit.
- Melt unsalted butter and drizzle it evenly over the top of the batter, which will create a golden, crispy surface during baking.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top turns a rich golden brown and the fruit bubbles around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 15-20 minutes, allowing the filling to set and the flavors to intensify.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Swap frozen blackberries if fresh aren’t available, but thaw and drain excess liquid to prevent soggy texture.
- Reduce sugar by half for a less sweet version or use alternative sweeteners like honey or stevia for diabetic-friendly option.
- Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into batter for warm, aromatic depth that complements the blackberries’ natural sweetness.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free baking mix for celiac-friendly dessert.
