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.

Thanks Cozycook and Pioneer woman!!!!!!!!
SO happy to hear that you enjoyed it Mary, it sounds absolutely delicious with the vanilla extract! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! -Stephanie
I make this recipe using Oatmilk and Plant Butter (I’m dairy-free) and it’s amazing!
Hey Jess! That sounds great, I’m so happy that you were able to make it work well with those variations, thank you so much for sharing and for taking the time to leave a review!! -Stephanie
It’s so good AND so easy! One of the best things I’ve ever made. Thank you!
I am so happy to hear that Julie!! Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, I really appreciate it! -Stephanie
My mother taught all 3 of us girls this recipe when we were young. An easy way to grease the pan is to put the butter into the pan while the oven is preheating. Watch to make sure the butter doesn’t burn. When it’s melted, spread it around the pan to grease it, then pour the rest of the batter into the pan. You don’t even have to try to pour the hot butter into your batter. It gives the edges a really nice, buttery crust when cooked.
Hi Nancy! WOW I love that trick with the butter, thank you so much for taking the time to share, I know several people will try it!
I love cobbler and have always used my grandmother’s recipe. I just picked some fresh blackberries and wanted a cobbler and decided to try a new recipe so I found this one. This is the best blackberry cobbler I’ve ever eaten. I guess I’ll have to apologize to my grandma and pass this recipe on to her.
Fresh blackberries are the best with this recipe! I’m so happy this is the best cobbler you’ve eaten❤️ We love it so much! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!
We love blackberry cobbler so I doubled the recipe. Was fantastic! Usually make with a pie crust but husband liked this much better. Getting ready to make another one… I may have some left to share!
I am sooo happy to hear that Janice!! I am due to make this recipe again myself, and it’s the perfect time of year for it. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review as well! -Stephanie
Great recipe. I had some berries frozen from last year and despite being pretty crushed up I thought i would give this a shot. Came out great. I made it in a 13 x 9 pan and made another half recipe to fill the pan.
Hi Paul! I am so happy that you were able to make use of your frozen berries with this recipe! Nicely done, thank you for sharing and for taking the time to leave this review, I really appreciate it! -Stephanie
My 13-year-old son use this recipe to make his blackberry cobbler it was so delicious it turned out great he doubled the recipe
I am so happy to hear that Jeffra!! PROPS to your 13 year old for nailing this recipe, that’s awesome! 🙂
Could you do the same recipe for a peach cobbler? I really love how this turned out with blackberries. I looked up a peach cobbler recipe with pioneer woman but didn’t like how the crust looked
Hi Erica, yes, this should work with peaches as well with the same instructions!
Awesome thanks so much for getting back with me!!
Used blackberries picked fresh from the backyard! I made it last night & my honey of 52 years said it was best cobbler I ever made. I’ve made a lot of cobblers in my last 60 years, it was simple, easy and delicious! It definitely is a keeper. Next time I’ll add extra berries after 30 minutes baking.
Hi Mary, I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed this cobbler! Adding more berries 30 minutes in sounds like a great idea, I love loading this up with berries. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review, I really appreciate it! -Stephanie
