Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are great for this recipe. If you don’t have them, frozen ones work just fine! They might release a bit more juice, which is okay—just adds to the flavor.
Granulated Sugar: This sweetness helps balance the tartness of blueberries. For a healthier option, you can substitute with coconut sugar or a sugar alternative like Stevia. Just remember to adjust the quantity according to the sweetness level!
All-Purpose Flour: If you need a gluten-free version, try using almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose mix. The texture might vary slightly but should still bake well!
Butter: Unsalted butter is preferred, but you can use coconut oil or a dairy-free butter substitute if you’re looking for a vegan option.
How Do You Get That Perfect Cobbler Texture?
The key to achieving that lovely cobbler texture lies in not over-mixing the batter. It’s best to just stir until everything is combined. This helps create a fluffier topping. Also, don’t smooth down the batter over the blueberries—let it sit as it is! It will bubble up and envelop the fruit perfectly during baking.
- Preheat your oven and get your baking dish ready by greasing it well.
- Toss blueberries in sugar gently to coat them. This adds flavor and helps them release some juice as they cook.
- Mix dry ingredients first, then add wet ones quickly for minimal mixing for the best rise and texture.
- After pouring the batter over the blueberries, simply let it be! It will create a nice crust as it bakes.
Enjoy your baking, and I hope this blueberry cobbler becomes a favorite in your home!
How to Make Easy Blueberry Muffin Cobbler
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Cobbler:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Topping:
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare and 35-40 minutes to bake. So, in total, you’ll need about 50 minutes to enjoy this delicious treat from start to finish!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare Your Baking Dish:
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While your oven heats up, take a 9×9-inch baking dish and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Blueberries:
In a mixing bowl, take your blueberries (fresh or frozen) and toss them with 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar. This sweetens the blueberries and helps create a delicious berry base. Spread the blueberries evenly in the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
3. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar. This mixture is going to form the batter for our cobbler.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
Next, add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined—be careful not to over-mix! We want a lumpy batter for the best texture.
5. Assemble the Cobbler:
Spoon the batter evenly over the blueberries in the baking dish. Don’t worry about smoothing it out—it’ll spread and bubble beautifully as it bakes.
6. Bake to Perfection:
Slide your baking dish into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. You’re looking for the top to be golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter to come out clean.
7. Cool and Serve:
Once done, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly. If you’d like, you can dust the top with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch. Serve warm, and if you’re feeling indulgent, add a scoop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top!
Enjoy your Easy Blueberry Muffin Cobbler—it’s sure to be a hit!
