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 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.

The Pioneer Women's Blackberry Cobbler
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons sugar, separated
- 1 cup self-rising flour, see notes for easy homemade version
- 1 cup milk, any kind, whole is best
- 1/2 stick butter, melted. (equal to 4 tbsp.)
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries, rinsed and patted dry.
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Note: If using frozen berries, be sure to add them when they're frozen. If you let them thaw, they'll be mushy, and the consistency will be off.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine 1 cup of sugar with the flour in a large bowl.
- Stir in the milk, then the melted butter. Mix until well-combined.
- Pour onto the bottom of a greased 9 x 9 inch baking dish.
- Distribute the berries throughout the top. They’ll sink in further as they bake.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup sugar over the top, reserving 2 tablespoons for later.
- Bake for 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar on top.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Serve immediately, (with ice cream of course)!
Notes
- To make Homemade Self Rising Flour: 1 cup flour + ½ tsp of salt + 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- Alternative berry options include blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, peaches, or a combination of several!
- Sometimes I'll reserve some of the berries and add them 30 minutes into baking so that they set closer to the top.
- If you adjust the number servings for this recipe at the top of the recipe card: The written information remains the same, the quantities only update in the ingredient list.

Made this for my office and for my family, everyone loved it I did add teaspoon vanilla and made it extra good. The one I made for home was equally delicious! Thanks!
Thanks so much for the review Jennifer! This is one of my go to desserts for the holidays, or when company comes!
Is it half a stick (1/4 cup) or half a cup of butter?
Hi Carrie, it’s 1/2 stick. ☺️ (1/4 cup)
This baked treat is delicious! I don’t normally eat sweets, but had to try this cobbler after my Husband helped himself to a second serving (with Vanilla Bean ice cream!) I did make the recipe with 2/3 cup of sugar for the batter, and sprinkled sugar on the cobbler before and after baking. The blackberries settled nicely and batter/dough was melt-in-your-mouth perfect. For those with a sweet tooth, I would recommend using the full amount of sugar for that sweetness kick. I was delighted to see Stephanie has some dessert recipes on here, as I knew they would be great. Can’t wait to try more, thank you!
Thanks so much! I haven’t made this one in awhile, I might surprise the family with it soon! It’s so good with vanilla ice cream!😋
I tried this recipe I put sugar on the blackberry but didn’t put extra sugar on top I also doubled the recipe will make again
So happy you liked it Amy!! 🙌🏻
Super easy and my family loved it!!!
Hey Janita! Wooo, I’m so happy you liked it!! Thanks so much for taking the tome to leave a review!!
Same recipe passed down from grandmother……..
I found this recipe and thought I would give it a try as I had some fresh blackberries to use. I am not much of a baker so this was right up my alley! I found it quick and easy to make. My husband and I found it to be a little too sweet, but the flavor is amazing! I made it again and this time I only used 2/3 cup of sugar and did a fine sprinkling of sugar on top. Turned out just right and was so delicious!
Thank you 🌸
Hi Kathy, that is wonderful, so happy that you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing your tips about the sugar too!! -Stephanie
I just made this with fresh-picked blackberries and it turned out fantastic! I will be using this recipe for years.
Hey Jenny, I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, what a perfect way to use freshly picked blackberries! 🙂 -Stephanie
It is really good but I made it in 9×13 and it was to thin. If you use 9×13 double cake batter.
This was absolutely amazing! I’m allergic to dairy so I substituted whole milk for almond/cashew milk and it still turned out beautifully in the look and taste! YUUMY!
Hey Brittney, thanks soooo great to hear! Thank you so much!!! ❤️
I made this using stevia instead of sugar and used 4 cups blackberries. It was so good. And so easy to make. I received many compliments
Hi Joan, that is wonderful to hear, I’m so glad that you enjoyed this recipe! 🙂 -Stephanie
