This blackberry cobbler is a comforting, crowd-pleasing dessert bursting with juicy berries and topped with a soft, golden crust. It’s simple to prepare and perfect for any occasion. The sweet-tart blackberries bubble beneath a tender, buttery batter, creating an irresistible blend of fruity and cakey goodness.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.
Place the blackberries in a mixing bowl, drizzle with melted butter, sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the top, and toss until the berries are evenly coated.
Spread the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the batter is combined but still a little lumpy.
Pour the batter evenly over the blackberries in the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the berries are tender and the crust is golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
For extra depth of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
If your blackberries are especially tart, increase the sugar slightly to balance the flavor.
Fresh or frozen blackberries both work well—just don't thaw the frozen ones before using.
