Ingredients
If you have any ingredients leftover from this individual blueberry cobbler recipe, check out our Leftover Ingredients Recipe Finder.
- Blueberries: Fresh or thawed frozen blueberries work well. Extra berries? Use them in small sheet pan pancakes, a green smoothie for one, or a mini icebox cake.
- Sugar: Sweetens the filling and helps create a syrupy sauce as the cobbler bakes.
- Lemon juice: Adds a bright, citrusy balance to the blueberries. Fresh or bottled both work.
- Flour: Forms the base of the topping. A gluten-free 1:1 flour substitute can be used if needed.
- Baking powder: Helps the topping rise. Check freshness for the best results.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness and balances flavors.
- Milk: Adds moisture to the topping.
Pro Tip: How to Freeze Blueberries
Want to keep blueberries on hand year-round? Spread fresh blueberries in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to six months, great for making cobbler anytime!

Amazing. I did use an air fryer. 300° for 15 minutes. Also used way less sugar and opt for honey. A recipe keeper, for sure.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe. Thank you for your feedback.
Thank you regarding the Air Fryer method. I will definitely try it that way. Thanks to you too Joanie for a great easy recipe.
I love this recipe. Have made it with blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. I find myself scraping the ramekin to get every last bit.
I’m so happy you love the recipe. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know.
I’m wondering if frozen blueberries would work, if they were thawed first? Thank you!
Yes, frozen and thawed work just fine.
I’ve been using a soup mug Works just fine. Making it a second time.
Delicious! This is a keeper!
Love your website!! Made this tonight with red plums and raspberries and it was excellent. Thank you for creating recipes for one and including the bakeware / tool information, it’s so helpful.
Thank you, Liz. I’m so glad you are enjoying the recipes and cooking information.
Could you make this in one of those small foil dishes until I get the right dishes?😊
Hi Sharon, I’m not sure of the size dish you are referring to. Using a dish of similar size to the one recommended in the recipe should work just fine.
Joanie, your site is just fantastic. Such wonderful recipes, what an
assortment. Mmmm relish. Looking forward to making the Blueberry Cobbler today. If I decide to make this cobbler for two, do I just double
the ingredients…..
Stay safe and healthy.
Edie
Hi Edie, thank you! I’m so glad you are enjoying the recipes. If you want to make a cobbler for two, just double the ingredients and use a bigger baking dish. Keep the cooking time and temperature the same. Enjoy!
Definitely a keeper. We just bought a house with an amazing blueberry patch.
Oh, lucky you! I’m so envious of your blueberry patch! This cobbler is a great way to use them up.
Can you substitute the flour with almond flour?
I haven’t tested this recipe with almond flour but if you try it, please let me know how it turns out.
Can you substitute the blueberries with blackberries?
Yes, that’s a delicious substitution. Enjoy!
