Instructions
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch or similar baking dish.
Spread the blackberries in the dish and toss with 1/2 cup sugar. Let sit while you mix the batter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Baking
Pour the batter evenly over the sugared blackberries. Don’t stir.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Enjoy warm topped with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt. To store, cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave single servings for 20–30 seconds or reheat the whole dish in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 10–15 minutes.
