Try this easy-to-make simple blueberry cobbler! It cooks in about 30-40 minutes and is delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Spoon-Over Crust
This cobbler is simple to make because there is no pie dough to roll. Instead, the topping is made like cake batter and spooned over the blueberries. When adding the topping, spread it thinner in the middle so it cooks as quickly as the outer edges.
Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
Use fresh (or frozen) blueberries for this recipe. Wash, drain, and place them in a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Add sugar, flavorings, and the crust. If you are using a glass baking dish with frozen blueberries, place it on a thin room-temperature baking sheet to cook. This will prevent the glass from getting a hot shock–when it is full of frozen berries–and possibly breaking when you place it on the oven rack. The baking sheet acts as an insulator against the hot oven rack.
Topping for Simple Blueberry Cobbler
Most of the ingredients for this cobbler are in the topping. Although made like a cake, the topping will be thicker and stickier than a cake batter. Spoon it over the blueberries, spreading it with the back of the spoon. It doesn’t have to be perfect because it will spread out while it bakes and cover the berries.
Baking the Simple Blueberry Cobbler
This cobbler cooks for about 30 minutes or until lightly browned. The spooned-over topping will be more cakelike and soft than pie pastry.
Serving the Simple Blueberry Cobbler
Serve it warm, and if desired, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on each serving. Enjoy!

- In an 8 x 8-inch baking dish (or equivalent) sprayed with cooking spray, stir together the blueberries, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, just until blended.
- Add the flour mixture a little at a time until you add all the flour. Beat until just combined.
- Spoon the topping dough over the blueberries.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until lightly browned. Check the middle of the cobbler for any uncooked crust by sticking a spoon into it. If there is any uncooked crust, place a sheet of aluminum foil over the pie and place it back into the oven for 5 or 10 minutes or until the middle is cooked. The aluminum foil will help prevent the crust from over-browning.
If the cobbler starts to over-brown before the initial cooking time is finished, place a sheet of aluminum foil over it while it finishes baking.
