Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Baking Ingredients:
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
Topping and Finishing:
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Optional: vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Spread fresh blueberries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform fruit layer.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- Cut cold unsalted butter into small cubes and incorporate into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour milk and vanilla extract into the flour mixture, stirring gently until a soft, slightly lumpy batter forms.
- Carefully pour and spread the batter over the blueberries, ensuring it covers most of the fruit but doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth.
- Sprinkle brown sugar and ground cinnamon evenly across the top of the batter to create a delicate, caramelized topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler turns golden brown and the blueberry filling begins to bubble around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes to allow the filling to set and intensify in flavor.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Swap frozen blueberries by thawing and draining excess liquid to prevent a watery cobbler texture.
- Enhance flavor complexity by mixing blueberries with a splash of lemon juice or adding fresh lemon zest to brighten the fruit’s natural sweetness.
- Create a gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking blend for those with dietary restrictions.
- Reduce sugar content by using half the recommended sugar or replacing granulated sugar with honey or maple syrup for a more natural sweetness profile.
