Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.
- Blueberries – you can use fresh or frozen blueberries in my cobbler recipe. If you can find wild blueberries, give them a try. They have such incredible flavor!
- Sugar – I like to use granulated sugar. You’ll notice the color of mine is beige, as I used organic sugar. You can also use your favorite sugar replacement for baking.
- Butter – I use salted butter, but you can use unsalted butter. You can also use your favorite non-dairy butter for a dairy-free version.
For the Blueberry Cobbler Batter
- Flour – I use all-purpose flour. You can also use your favorite gluten-free flour for baking for a gluten-free version. You can also use self-rising flour and omit the baking powder from the cobbler batter ingredients.
- Sugar – see the note above about sugar.
- Baking Powder – helps the cobbler batter to rise and have a tender, cake-like texture when baked.
- Salt – adds flavor to the cobbler batter.
- Milk – I like to use whole milk or half and half. You can use your favorite non-dairy milk if needed for a dairy-free version.
Optional Ingredients:
- Vanilla extract– I find that it enhances the flavor of the cobbler.
- Ground cinnamon – For a cinnamon flavor in your cobbler, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This is delicious in winter for a cozy dessert recipe.
How to Wash blueberries
Wash your blueberries in a medium bowl filled with 2/3 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Allow to soak about 12 – 15 minutes and then rinse in a colander with cool water until clean.
