Indulge in the warmth of a delightful Blueberry Cobbler, a dessert born from a love for comforting treats made with fresh fruit. Inspired by the success of my popular Peach Cobbler recipe and the personal favorite Triple Berry Crisp, this blueberry variation is sure to become a new household favorite.
Making Blueberry Cobbler:
Blueberry cobbler is a dessert that satisfies every sweet craving with minimal effort. This recipe, adapted from the beloved Peach Cobbler, allows you to use either fresh or frozen blueberries, making it a versatile treat for any occasion.
Can I Use Frozen Fruit for Cobbler?
Absolutely! Both this blueberry cobbler recipe and the peach cobbler recipe can seamlessly incorporate either fresh or frozen fruit. There’s no need to wait for the frozen fruit to completely thaw; it can be used straight from the freezer. The slight extra juice from the thawing process adds a delightful syrupy quality to the cobbler, enhancing its overall flavor.
Storing and Reheating Tips:
To enjoy the blueberry cobbler at its best, savor it warm right after baking. For any leftovers, store the cobbler covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
When reheating, you can use either the microwave or oven. To reheat in the oven, allow the cobbler to come to room temperature and bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 20 minutes or until warmed through. If it starts browning too much, cover it with tin foil to preserve its delicious texture.
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 4 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

For the Batter:

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
