    Why You’ll Love This Berry Cobbler Recipe

    • Easy to Make: This berry cobbler comes together easily in just 10 minutes, making it perfect for bakers of all skill levels.
    • Simple Ingredients: The batter uses a handful of kitchen staples, many of which you probably already have.
    • Crowd-Pleaser: This cobbler is always a hit at all of our summer gatherings! It’s our go-to dessert for cookouts, pool parties, family get-togethers, and more. Everyone loves the combination of tender, buttery cake and fresh, juicy berries.

    What’s the difference between a cobbler, crumble, and crisp?

    Cobblers, crumbles, and crisps are all baked fruit desserts that have different toppings and textures. Cobblers are typically made with a biscuit topping, but can also be made with cake batter like we did in this recipe. 

    Crumbles and crisps are very similar, as they both have a streusel-like topping. However, the general rule is that crisps use oats (like this Salted Caramel Apple Crisp) while crumbles do not.

    Ingredients

    Here’s a look at the simple ingredients you’ll need to make this easy berry cobbler recipe.

    Ingredients to make a berry cobbler on the table before preparing.
    • Self-Rising Flour: Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour that already includes baking powder and salt, which helps the cobbler rise and gives it a light, fluffy texture without the need for additional leavening agents.
    • Sugar: Sweetens the batter and helps to balance the tartness of the berries. A little extra sprinkled on top before baking adds a sweet-crunch for the perfect finishing touch.
    • Milk: Provides moisture to the batter which keeps the cake tender.
    • Butter: Adds rich flavor and moisture. You’ll need some for the batter and some for coating the baking dish. This prevents sticking and helps the cobbler achieve a golden brown color.
    • Lemon Extract: Adds a touch of lemony flavor and helps to brighten the overall flavor of the cobbler.
    • Fresh Berries: We love blackberry desserts and raspberry desserts, so we used a mixture of blackberries and raspberries, but feel free to mix things up by using different berries. For example, if you love blueberry desserts, throw some blueberries in too!

    See the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts, nutritional information, and detailed instructions.

    Variations

    • Dairy-Free or Vegan: Use unsweetened, unflavored soy milk or oat milk as well as your favorite plant-based butter to make this fruit cobbler recipe both dairy-free and vegan.
    • Refined Sugar-Free: Swap the white, granulated sugar for coconut sugar for a refined sugar-free version. Note that the cobbler will turn out a bit darker.
    • Gluten-Free: Use 2 cups of a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that already has xanthan gum included. Then mix in 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt. 

    How to Make This Mixed Berry Cobbler Recipe

    Get started making this recipe for berry cobbler by preheating your oven to 350° F. 

    • Step 1: Mix the wet ingredients. Combine the milk, lemon extract, and melted butter in a bowl.
    • Step 2: Add the dry ingredients. Sift the dry ingredients together and then add to milk mixture and mix with a hand or stand mixer until smooth..

    • Step 3: Add the batter to a baking dish. Coat a baking dish with melted butter. Then pour the batter into the baking dish and use a spatula to swirl the batter together with the butter.
    • Step 4: Add the berries. Drop the berries into the batter evenly around the baking dish. Generously sprinkle the top of the cobbler with sugar and bake until golden brown.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Keep it Simple: You can’t go wrong with a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream on top of a warm slice of this mixed berry cobbler.
    • Cheese and Fruit Plate Accompaniment: Cut the cobbler into squares and serve with a selection of cheeses, crackers, and fresh fruit along with this creamy Marshmallow Fruit Dip.
    • Dessert Charcuterie Board: Include this cobbler on a dessert charcuterie board with other tasty treats like these White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies, this Homemade Fudge, this Coconut Pound Cake, and these Easy Lemon Bars.

    Expert Tips

    • Use your favorite berries: Feel free to replace some or all of the blackberries and raspberries with other types of berries such as blueberries or strawberries.
    • Scoop and level the flour: This is important for ensuring the flour is measured properly so that the cake is not too dense. First, use a spoon to scoop the flour into your measuring cup until it overflows. Do not pack it down. Then, use a straight edge, like the back of a knife, to level off the excess flour.
    • Storing: Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Enjoy it straight from the fridge cold or you can reheat individual slices in the microwave.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I use frozen berries?

    Yes, you can make this mixed berry cobbler recipe with frozen berries. There’s no need to thaw them either; simply use them straight from the freezer.

    Can I use other types of fruit?

    Of course! One thing that’s great about cobbler recipes is how customizable they are. If you don’t have any berries, feel free to make your cobbler with another type of fruit, like peaches or apples. You can even use canned fruits or canned pie filling.

    Can I make my own self-rising flour?

    Yes, it’s easy to make your own self-rising flour. For every cup of all-purpose flour, mix in 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt.

      This looks so good! My husband isn't a fan of my mom's cobbler. (It's my go to FAVE, and what I grew up eating) so, I'm looking for another cobbler to add to our family stash, that isn't cake mix and pie filling (because, gross). Can't wait to try this
