Blackberry Cobbler Recipe For Fresh or Frozen Berries

Blackberry cobbler is stuffed with luscious, juicy healthy blackberries, nestled into a moist, sweet dough. Coconut oil gives this old-time summer dessert an upgrade with healthy fat and flavor. 

This is one of the BEST blackberry desserts I have ever made. Really Truly. And it’s in the oven in 10 minutes.

Blackberries bushes are extremely prolific on our property. The birds love em and spread blackberry seeds ALL over!

Consequently, we are surrounded by ACRES of blackberry bushes. We clear them out of our fields and fence lines as best we can. The rest we eat fresh off the vine. I always freeze several batches too.

This Blackberry cobbler recipe in particular is one of our favorite blackberry desserts. I make it a LOT since it’s So EASY!

The sweet moist dough is so yummy and crammed with blackberries all the way through.

Grow your own garden for the best produce like we do or buy from a reputable, local organic farm, farmers market, fruit stand or your local food co-op. This is a wonderful farm to table recipe.

I really DON’T recommend growing blackberries. They are EXTREMELY invasive. At least they are here in our temperate climate.

If you get crazy enough to plant them. Find a THORNLESS variety like this. Whacking back our thorny ole blackberry bushes is a blood sport. You won’t enjoy it.

Blackberries are among the Healthiest fruits. 

My family ought to set longevity records. We eat TONS of blackberries throughout the year.

Yep, we expect to live pretty much forever.

I have quite a few blackberry recipes on this blog both sweet and savory. Blackberry are a wonderful late summer harvest. They make so many wonderful dishes.

This recipe works with both fresh and frozen blackberries. It is written for fresh. Follow the tips below for frozen berries.

TIPS For frozen berries:

1.  Measure the berries frozen and stir them in that way too.
2. Just break apart any berry clumps.
3. Watch the liquid level of your fresh or frozen berries.
4. Drain any extra juice off so the recipe bakes correctly.

Using Coconut oil.

Coconut oil adds a wonderful flavor to baked goods. If you haven’t tried it in your baking I hope you do. However…

If you don’t happen to have any coconut oil on hand substitute butter or avocado oil one to one. Either will work great as a substitute.

Ingredients

• 4 Tbsp melted coconut oil (or butter)
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 4 Cups of blackberries

Instructions

Prep:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Prepare the blackberries by putting them in a bowl of standing water while you do the other recipe steps. Then drain them well and pick out any bits of bush, webs, or moving ickies, before putting them on the top of the cobbler.(If you're buying them pre-washed, don't immerse them in water at all.)

For the cobbler:

1. Spread melted coconut oil in the bottom of a glass 8 x 8 pan, or 9 inch pie plate.
2. In a medium bowl whisk together flour and baking powder and salt.
3. Add in the sugar, milk and vanilla; then pour the batter layer over coconut oil. No stirring.
4. Add the blackberries in a layer over the batter. The “batter” will bake up around it.
5. Bake for about 1 hr. Cobbler will be golden brown.
