Using Frozen Berries
- Frozen berries work well in this recipe as well, be sure to add them when they’re frozen. If you let them thaw, they’ll be mushy and the consistency will be off.
Alternative Berry Options
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
- Blueberries- Or try my own Blueberry Cobbler recipe!
- Peaches- Or try my own Peach Cobbler recipe, it’s amazing!
or use a combination of several!
How to Store Leftover Cobbler
- Baked Cobbler can be covered and stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Freezing Leftover Cobbler
- This Cobbler can be frozen and it’s best if you do so after it’s been baked due to the leavening agent in the flour.
- To reheat, let it thaw overnight and bake it in a covered oven-safe dish at 350° until heated through. The amount of time will depend on how much you’re heating.
- You can also reheat in the microwave.
Best Pan Sizes For This Recipe
- A 9 x 9 inch pan works well for this recipe. If using a 9 x 13 pan, consider doubling the recipe for thicker results.
What to Serve with Blackberry Cobbler
…Just kidding. I just want to see if you’re paying attention. The obvious answer is vanilla ice cream.
Should you choose to omit this very important addition, I will find you…ice cream in hand.

Guys this was so good. I have two toddlers and they had so much fun picking the berries and then helping me make the cobbler. the ingredients were so simple so it felt easy to make with the kids and it came out delicious. I added some vanilla extract and cinnamon into the batter and did around 3/4 cup of sugar and it was incredible. Thank you for the recipe <3
That sounds so fun Sam, such a great way to get the kiddos into cooking!! I just made this with my daughter too as well as homemade salsa with garden fresh tomatoes! Thanks so much for the great comments!!🩷
Believe the reviews, this is so good! We have dairy allergies in our family, so we used plant butter and soy milk, and you’d have no idea. We used blackberries from our yard, at least half of which my 3 year old picked before they were quite ripe and refused to eat otherwise because they were sour. This cobbler has *plenty* of sugar to counteract sour berries, and a lovely crunchy crust (I’m sure it’s all that extra sugar on top). We’ll definitely make it again, but may need to double the recipe next time 🙂
Nice work making adjustments Kim, I’m so happy it was such a success! Using fresh picked berries is always the best, we do the same when the farm down the road has fresh berries! Thanks so much for the wonderful comments!🩷🩷🩷
This recipe was amazing! I made my own self rising flour (easy) with your instructions and fresh blackberries from our property. I doubled it a baked in a 9×13 and it came out perfect! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much, Tori! I’m SO happy you loved it! Fresh blackberries right from your property must have made it extra delicious. 😍 And I’m glad doubling it in a 9 x 13 worked out perfectly. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! ❤️ -Stephanie
Really Tasty. My husband kept saying this is better than blueberry pie, which he loves.
Excellent!! What a compliment from your husband! I’m so glad that it was enjoyed!!
Can I use half and half
Hi Lyn! Yes, you can use half and half in place of the milk! The cobbler may be just slightly richer, but it should work just fine. Enjoy! ❤️
The best blackberry cobbler. So easy to make. I have blackberries lining my property as does my neighbor. I first made this cobbler last year for my neighbor (older/eldery gentleman) and he absolutely loved it. So now I find 2 cups of fresh picked blackberries on my porch (1-2 times a week this time of year) from him so I can make him cobbler.
Can’t beat fresh picked berries, the best!! I’m so happy you’re enjoying it Melissa, thanks so much!!🩷🩷🩷
Can I use canned fruit
Hi Sharon! Yes, canned fruit will work, but frozen would be my first-choice substitute for fresh because it’ll give you a result closer to the original 🙂
Amazing came out perfect use fresh blackberries from our yard came out great kids loved it
Awesome! I love that you used fresh blackberries right from your yard, amazing! 🙂 Thank you so much for the review!
It was so delicious, I’m making it again. Do you think it would turn out as good if I substituted buttermilk for regular milk?
Hi Tamie! Hi! Yes, buttermilk should work just fine! 😊 It will give the cobbler a very subtle tang and may make the topping a little more tender. Since buttermilk is thicker and more acidic than regular milk, the texture may be just slightly different, but I think it would still turn out delicious! ❤️
