Ingredients

Scale

For the Blueberry Filling:

4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed & drained if frozen)
½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for a citrusy kick)
1 tablespoon cornstarch or all-purpose flour (helps thicken the filling)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (adds warmth & depth)

For the Cobbler Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for a warm spice flavor)

Optional Additions:

Zest of 1 lemon (adds brightness to the blueberries)
1 teaspoon almond extract (for a nutty flavor)
½ cup chopped pecans or almonds (for a crunchy topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven while it preheats.

Step 2: Prepare the Blueberry Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch (or flour), and vanilla extract.
Toss everything together and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Cobbler Batter

In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Stir in milk until just combined (don’t overmix!).

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

Remove the melted butter from the oven.
Pour the batter evenly over the butter (do not stir).
Spoon the blueberry mixture evenly over the batter. The fruit will naturally sink while baking.

Step 5: Bake the Cobbler

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

For an extra crunchy topping, sprinkle coarse sugar or chopped nuts over the batter before baking!
