Classic Southern Blackberry Cobbler
A warm, bubbling blackberry cobbler straight from the oven is pure comfort food magic. You’ll love how the sweet-tart berries mingle with that buttery, golden crust. It’s the kind of dessert that makes any day feel special.
Ingredients
– 4 cups fresh blackberries (frozen work too, but fresh give the best flavor)
– 1 cup granulated sugar (I like using a mix of white and a touch of brown for depth)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled to avoid a dense batter)
– 2 teaspoons baking powder (make sure it’s fresh for a good rise)
– 1 cup whole milk (room temp blends smoother with the batter)
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (I always use real butter for that rich taste)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure vanilla adds a lovely aroma)
– A pinch of salt (it balances the sweetness perfectly)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, toss the blackberries with 1/2 cup of the sugar and set aside to let them release their juices.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
4. Pour the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients and stir just until a smooth batter forms—don’t overmix to keep it tender.
5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula.
6. Spoon the sugared blackberries and their juices over the batter, distributing them evenly across the top.
7. Tip: For a crispier top, sprinkle a little extra sugar over the berries before baking.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Tip: Place a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips and avoid a messy oven.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
11. Tip: Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate contrast.
Ultimate comfort in every bite—this cobbler boasts a tender, cake-like base with juicy, bursting berries. The slight tartness of the blackberries pairs beautifully with the sweet, buttery crust. Try it topped with a dollop of whipped cream or enjoy it straight from the dish while it’s still warm.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling around the edges.
