Ingredients

- 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!

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.
