Print Recipe

The Pioneer Woman’s Blackberry Cobbler is a classic fruit dessert featuring ripe, juicy blackberries baked under a tender, buttery, flaky crust. This easy-to-make cobbler perfectly balances sweetness and tartness with a golden topping that’s crisp on the outside and soft inside, ideal for family dinners, holidays, or any comforting occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Berry Filling

  • 4 cups fresh blackberries (choose ripe, plump berries)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cobbler Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk for vegan option)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil/vegan butter)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the berry filling: In a mixing bowl, gently toss the fresh blackberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice to enhance natural sweetness and create a juicy base.
  2. Make the cobbler batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined to form a smooth batter without overmixing.
  3. Assemble the cobbler: Butter a baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking. Pour the blackberry mixture into the dish, then drop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the top, leaving some fruit exposed for a rustic look.
  4. Bake until golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
  5. Cool slightly before serving: Allow the cobbler to rest for 10 to 15 minutes to let the filling thicken slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use fresh blackberries for best flavor and texture; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid before baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the crust tender and flaky.
  • Thoroughly butter the baking dish to prevent sticking and add richness.
  • Adjust sugar amounts based on the tartness of your berries.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
