Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Stir 1/2 cup sugar into the blackberries; set aside.
- Melt butter in a baking pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt; then add milk and stir until combined.
- Pour the batter into the pan of melted butter without mixing.
- Pour the sugared blackberries over the batter.
- Bake for 50 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh blackberries. If you don't have fresh blackberries, frozen blackberries can be used—just thaw and drain excess liquid. You can substitute the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option. If you're looking to reduce sugar, consider using a sugar substitute or less sugar in the blackberry mixture, but remember it may affect the overall sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Holiday Spritz Cookies for a festive dessert spread. For a more rustic touch, consider serving it with a side of sweetened cream or yogurt for a delicious breakfast option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for quicker reheating, but the oven will keep the crust crispier.
