Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the flour mixture. You can substitute butter for margarine if preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries for this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in the cobbler. Frozen berries may result in a slightly different texture, but they will still taste delicious.
What can I serve with blueberry cobbler?
Blueberry cobbler is fantastic on its own, but you can enhance it with whipped cream, ice cream, or even yogurt. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert or serve it alongside a cup of coffee for a satisfying treat after dinner.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! To make a gluten-free blueberry cobbler, substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that includes xanthan gum. Make sure to check that all other ingredients, like the baking powder, are gluten-free as well.
