Guys, I’m not much of a baker. I say it all the time. I don’t have the talent, patience, or desire for it.
But this recipe is amazing and requires absolutely no baking skills of any kind.
You have just met the best easy brunch idea guys.
Let’s go over some really easy FAQ.
Ingredients
See recipe card at the bottom of post for quantities and full instructions
- Sugar
- Self Rising Flour- it contains a leavening agent that helps make baked goods rise. It’s often used to make biscuits and other fluffy baked goods.
- Whole Milk
- Butter
- Blackberries– fresh or frozen
- Vanilla Ice Cream– for serving, optional
Homemade Self Rising Flour
- 1 + 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for each cup of flour.
How to Make The Pioneer Woman’s Blackberry Cobbler
- Combine the 1 cup sugar and 1 cup self-rising flour. Add 1 cup whole milk and 1/2 stick melted butter.
- Add to a (9 x 9) casserole dish and top with 2 cups blackberries.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar on top and bake at 350° F for 50 minutes.
- Add 2 Tablespoons sugar and bake for 10 more minutes.
- Serve with vanilla ice scream and serve.
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
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
- 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.

I have a question about the butter – your recipe says “1/2 stick of butter, melted (4tbsp)”, but your photo shows 1 full stick. The Pioneer Women’s actual recipe says “1 stick of butter”. Did you modify that from the original or is it a mistake? Thank you for any help!
Hi Samantha!! My photo shows a full stick only to show butter an the ingredient in the recipe, not as a measurement. The 1/2 stick of butter is intentional, as I sourced this recipe as coming from The Food Network’s version of her Blackberry Cobbler. Her site is always different than what is shared on The Food Network.
I have made this recipe several times. I have used a half stick and a whole stick of butter. For me, I stick with Ree’s measurement of 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup), because I like the buttery flavor. It does not effect the end result, other than flavor, whatsoever. Plus, I use buttermilk instead of whole milk. I love the extra flavor punch!
Wonderful and easy kids and hubby loved it.
Wonderful! I’m so happy that it was a hit Danielle!! 🙂
Total hit!
I also looked at the “half” stick of butter & automatically thought “one stick”. My 13yr old granddaughter read the recipe and corrected me. Phew!
Am making it for the 2nd time and doubling the recipe.
Good catch by your granddaughter! I’m so happy it was such a success. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review Connie!💖
I made two different recepies at the same time and this one wins, hands down! I have so many fresh blackberries right now, I made this receipie for the 2nd time already! This time I substituted the sugar for monk fruit sweetener and halved the flour with almond flour and used coconut milk for a healthier alternative. IT IS DELICIOUS!
I’m so happy you’re enjoying it Stefani! Can’t beat fresh berries! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review💖
It is outstanding!!!But sooo easy… absolutely a must year round! Very impressive presentation!
I feel the same way about this Cobbler! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, thanks so much Victoria!❤️
How long do I bake this for if using a 7×11 baking dish?
Hi Lynn, I think the baking time would be about the same. I haven’t tested it though!
Love this but, wondering if a sugar substitute could be used?? Have a friend who is diabetic and I would like to try not using sugar
Hi Sherry, I haven’t tested it that way, so I’m unsure of the results. ❤️
Please let me know how it turned out with a sugar substitute. I would love to make this for my Dad.
I just make with monk fruit sweetener instead of the sugar – equal amount substitute. and halved the regular flour with almond flour. I also used coconut milk. My family loved it!
I tried this recipe out because my husband wanted some blackberry cobbler on a whim. I am so glad I did! It is so delicious! I did add a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. And just a tiny bit of vanilla extract. My husband said it is the best cobbler he has ever had, and I agree! Thank you!
I’m so happy it was such a success Amanda! I love the addition of cinnamon and nutmeg! Thanks so much for the great comments😃
This is a simple, but delightful recipe.
I like adding about 1/2 TBL fresh lemon juice, 1/4 tsp lemon zest and 1/4 tsp ground cloves to the berries before introducing them into the batter.
I’m so happy you’re enjoying it Jacki! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!🩷
Ice scream?!?!? Lol! This is delicious.
OH wow that’s a typo that’s been around for YEARS. LOL. Thank you for mentioning it!! 😂😂😂
This is an amazing recipe … just minutes to mix and sooo yummy … I changed out the sugar for monk fruit as I am diabetic …. Turned out so lovely …. This is definitely a keeper and will make often …. Thanks again, Karen
Nice work making tweaks Karen, I’m so happy it was such a hit! Thank you!💖
