Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Topping Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Liquid and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine blueberries, lemon juice, and half of the granulated sugar, gently tossing to ensure even coating without crushing the delicate berries.
- Spread the seasoned blueberry mixture evenly across the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform fruit layer.
- Whisk together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl to create a uniform dry mixture.
- Melt the unsalted butter and mix with milk and vanilla extract, creating a smooth liquid base for the cobbler topping.
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a soft, slightly lumpy batter forms without overmixing.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter directly over the blueberry layer, allowing some fruit to peek through the topping for a rustic appearance.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until the topping turns golden brown and the blueberry filling bubbles around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 15 minutes, allowing the filling to set and flavors to meld together.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Choose ripe, plump blueberries at peak season for the most intense, sweet flavor and juiciest texture in your cobbler.
- Gently toss berries to prevent bruising, maintaining their delicate structure and preventing mushy filling.
- Test blueberry ripeness by gently rolling them between fingers; perfectly ripe berries will feel firm yet yield slightly.
- Prevent soggy bottom by patting blueberries dry with paper towels before mixing with sugar and lemon juice.
- Swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free alternatives like almond or coconut flour for a celiac-friendly version.
- Reduce sugar content by using monk fruit sweetener or stevia for a lower-calorie, diabetic-friendly dessert option.
