One Bowl Blackberry Cobbler
A minimal-effort dessert featuring fresh or frozen blackberries, with a soft, cake-like topping that is budget-friendly and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
For the Cobbler
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries about 1 pound fresh; frozen works fine; no need to thaw.
- 1 cup white sugar reduce to 3/4 cup if berries are very sweet.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour whole-wheat pastry flour can be used for a nuttier flavor.
- 1 large egg
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted (unsalted preferred), or melted coconut oil for dairy-free.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss the blackberries with the sugar until evenly coated. Let sit while preparing the batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the batter over the sugared blackberries and stir gently to combine without smashing the fruit.
- Transfer to the greased baking dish and smooth the top.
Baking
- Bake for 40–45 minutes until the topping is golden and berry juices are bubbling.
- For extra crunch, place in an air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes.
Serving
- Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
