How to make Blackberry Cobbler:
Melt Butter: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place sliced butter in a 9×13 baking dish and place in preheating oven until melted.
Make Batter: Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk then pour the mixture into the pan, over the melted butter and smooth it into an even layer.
Add Blackberries: Drop blackberries on top. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar on top, and then a little sprinkle of cinnamon.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until golden and slightly crisp on top. Serve homemade blackberry cobbler warm, with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
Storage and Reheating Instructions:
To Store: Blackberry Cobbler is best enjoyed warm, right after it’s baked. Store leftover cobbler covered in the fridge for 4-5 days.
To Freeze: Freeze the baked cobbler for up to 3 months, covered well with aluminum foil. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in the oven before serving.
To Reheat: The microwave or oven can be used to reheat this easy cobbler. To reheat it in the oven, remove it from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes, or until warmed through. Place tinfoil over it if it starts browning too much.
Recipe Variations:
- Substitute fresh or frozen raspberries.
- Try my Blueberry Cobbler, Peach Cobbler or Apple Cobbler
- Try adding a crispy oat topping like with my Triple Berry Crisp, Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, Peach Crisp, Apple Crisp.

Yoooooooo! I’m Huge blackberry cobbler fan and I CAN NOT recommend this recipe enough!!
I’ve made this recipe twice now. Both times it will not get done in the middle. It is a very runny batter and I am wondering if it needs less milk?
Hi Lisa, sounds like it needs to be cooked longer. You may want to check your oven temp and make sure it’s calibrated to the right temperature.
I made your blueberry cobbler yesterday and left a glowing review. So I started looking at your other cobbler recipes. As I expected this one is very similar to the blueberry cobbler with one notable exception. In the blueberry you put the blueberries on the butter and the batter poured over. With this one you pour the batter over the butter and then put the blackberries on top. Is there some special reason for the reversal? Thanks!
I have the same question. Why no reply? Love the Bluebery cobbler. Why not make raspberry cobbler the same way?
In you recipe you call for
1 1/2 c Sugar but in the steps you state:
sugar (1 cup minus 1 tablespoons of sugar – reserve the tablespoon for sprinkling on top at the end),
So is it supposed to be 1 cup of sugar minus 1 tsp.
Or 1 1/2 c Sugar minus 1 tsp?
Thank you so much for catching this AND letting us know. It has been fixed! It’s 1 cup!
I made this blackberry cobbler using only one-half cup sugar in the dry ingredients. I did not sprinkle sugar on the top. I also added one tsp cinnamon in the dry ingredients. I will probably make it again.
