- Lemon juice: Elevates the overall flavor with a citrusy zing. Freshly squeezed or bottled, either will do the trick.
- Flour: This pantry staple forms the base of the cobbler topping. For a gluten-free option, you can use a gluten-free 1:1 flour substitute.

Recipe Variations

- Cinnamon Swirl: Incorporate cinnamon into the dough for a spiced flavor.
- Mixed Berry Cobbler: Swap blueberries for a mixed berry blend.
Freezing Fresh Blueberries: A Simple Guide
Got a bounty of fresh blueberries? Freezing them is a cinch and extends their shelf life significantly. Just arrange the blueberries in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Pop the sheet into the freezer and wait until the berries are fully frozen. Once that’s done, shift the frozen blueberries into a ziplock freezer bag. Store them in your freezer, and they’ll stay good for up to six months. Perfect for off-season blueberry cobbler cravings!
How To Make Blueberry Cobbler For One
- Prepare the filling: Place the blueberries in a small baking dish. Stir in the sugar and lemon juice.
- Make the cobbler batter: Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk, and pour over the blueberries.
- Bake: Bake in a 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 25 minutes.
- Enjoy: Remove from the oven and enjoy while still warm.
Expert Tips
- Temperature Matters: Preheating your oven is crucial. Make sure your oven reaches the exact temperature before you start baking. I recommend using an oven thermometer which can help with this and ensure consistency in your results.
- Baking Sheet Hack: Always place your ramekin on a baking sheet. Not only does it make it easier to take in and out of the oven, but it also catches any spills, saving you from a potential oven clean-up.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoying a homemade dessert like this should be an experience! Here are a few ways to elevate your single-serving Blueberry Cobbler:
- Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream pairs wonderfully.
- Whipped Cream: A dollop can add a luxurious touch.
- Fresh Mint: A sprig for garnish adds color and aroma.
- Nut Toppings: A sprinkle of crushed almonds or walnuts can add a crunch.

I had half a container of blackberries in the fridge, was bored, and considering what to eat for lunch. This sounded like a good addition to the sandwich I’d decided on, sooo… I did use blackberries (I cut them each in half, they were kind of huge) and they worked beautifully; the one addition I made was about 1/4 tsp vanilla. Beautiful recipe, just the right size; I make a lot of cobblers for get-togethers with friends, and now I’m thinking of multiplying this in a bunch of ramkins so we can each have a personal cobbler, just for fun! Thank you hugely.
I have just made 2 single serve Blueberry Cobblers. Oh my goodness, it was so good. I also made 2 single serve Peach Cobblers. Delicious. These are keepers. Thanks for sharing recipes. My Mom is 90 yrs old and I’m her caregivers. She ate the whole Blueberry Cobbler ❤️
Heavenly!! Made mine with frozen blueberries and next time I would reserve some of the blueberry juices to pour over vanilla ice cream; nevertheless, delicious!!
Love this receipe.the only one I make.do you by any chance make receipes for a small 2 quart air fryer?thank you
Could you possibly use some pie filling if out of fruit? I have some I would like to use up. Love your recipes. Just made your recipe for apple butter. Delicious!
Sure.
I was having a sweet craving. This was fast and easy. I like that it makes one serving. I added vanilla and a dash of cinnamon
This was delicious! I made it with frozen mixed berries. The recipe was simple and quick to put together before throwing in the oven. I’m definitely going to try it with different fruits next time.
I’m so happy you enjoyed the cobbler. Thank you so much for your feedback.
If you were to use a 6 ounce ramekin could you just halve the recipe and it still work? Thank you!
It seems like it would work just fine. Keep an eye on the baking time. You may need to take the cobblers out of the oven sooner than indicated in the recipe.
I made a couple changes on this…I doubled it for 3 ramkins, which was perfect for what Ineeded. I added a tablesppon of pepared egg (in the carton) or you could use a tablesppon of a blended egg, and vanilla to the batter. Yes, topping with icecream takes it to the next level!
I’m glad you enjoyed the cobbler, Marla. Thank you for your feedback.
I enjoy this recipe for a lot of different reasons: it’s so simple to put together; the fruit makes it healthy; the sugar content can be reduced without compromising the delicious taste; and it’s pretty low in calories. Such a great combination of factors that make this recipe a winner.
