Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the margarine in a baking dish.

- Pour the batter over the melted margarine in the dish.
- Spread blueberries on top of the batter.
- Bake for 1 hour at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. You can also substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour for added nutrition. If fresh blueberries are out of season, frozen blueberries will work just as well; just toss them in a bit of flour to prevent sinking. This cobbler pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful blueberry cobbler warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast. It can also be enjoyed as a breakfast treat alongside a cup of coffee or tea. For a twist, consider pairing it with a Low-Fat Protein Banana-Berry Shake for a refreshing drink.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, allow the cobbler to cool completely, then cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until heated through, or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of blueberries?
Absolutely! This cobbler is versatile and works well with other berries like raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries. You can also mix different fruits for a unique flavor. Just keep in mind that different fruits may have varying moisture levels, which can affect the baking time slightly.
What if I don't have self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For each cup of self-rising flour required, use 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt for proper leavening.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cobbler batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. Just be aware that the texture may change slightly, so it's best to bake it fresh if possible. If you want to bake it later, you can also freeze the assembled cobbler before baking and then bake it straight from frozen, adjusting the time as needed.
