Recipe Tips
- Baking Cobbler – Make sure that the dough is done before removing the cobbler from the oven. The center of the dough should be set and not wet looking. The blueberries around the outside will be bubbly. Cooking time will vary as it could take 35-40 minutes to bake.
- Rest Cobbler – After baking the cobbler, make sure to allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Sweetness – If you prefer a sweeter cobbler, you can always add in another tablespoon or two of sugar.
- Baking Pan – We used a 9×13 baking dish for the perfect cobbler. If you prefer a thicker cobbler you can make in 8×8 baking dish or a little larger.

I’ve been on a blueberry cobbler search for the best recipe. This one looks amazing and reminds me of a favorite, long lost, recipe when the kids were growing up. I will be making this tomorrow for Memorial Day. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Margarita! I hope you enjoy this recipe and I hope that it is exactly what you have been searching for!
I have made the blueberry cobbler twice now, my family loves it. I do seem to have a problem getting the dough done in the middle. But, it’s so easy to make. Taste delicious, is very quick to put together. When I finally master the baking part, it will become a dish for company.
Sue – I’m so glad you enjoy it. You can continue baking it and loosely cover the top with foil so that it doesn’t get to brown until the center of the cobbler gets cooked through.
I made this recipe (a last minute decision) to take to Easter dinner, reluctantly, because I really didn’t think anyone would eat it.. there was already going to be so many desserts and I really thought it would have been put on the back burner. Boy was I wrong! I have never made a cobbler before, but the way the family scarfed this up, you would have thought a 5 star chef made it! So many compliments, and fighting over the last couple pieces. I was in shock lol.. I highly recommend this recipe, it is so easy to make. I am already getting requests to make it again for the next family get together 🙂
That is so awesome! We loved it too.
Just wondering if I could use a bundle pan? I think it would look so pretty!
Hey Vicki! I haven’t tested that yet but it should work! You will need to increase the cooking time in a bundt pan. I would start by adding 5 minutes and then check it from there and continue to add time until it’s cooked through. Let me know how it turns out!
Loved using my fresh blueberries to make this cobbler! It turned out so delicious and we will be making this cobbler again and again!
