Ingredients
Scale
Butter
- 1 stick salted butter, cubed
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for blueberries)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 4-5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F to ensure it’s fully heated before baking the cobbler.
- Melt the butter: Place the cubed butter into a 9×13 inch baking dish or a similar sized oval dish and put it in the oven for 10 minutes until completely melted.
- Mix dry and wet ingredients: In a bowl, combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Then add the whole milk, brown sugar, molasses, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Prepare the blueberries: In a separate bowl, toss the fresh or frozen blueberries with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons flour to coat the berries evenly.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Carefully spoon the coated blueberries evenly over the batter without stirring.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 55 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges begin to brown, signaling that the cobbler is done.
- Serve warm: Let the cobbler cool slightly, then serve warm with your choice of ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence. Enjoy your delicious blueberry cobbler!
Notes
- Use frozen blueberries directly from the freezer without thawing to prevent excess liquid from making the cobbler soggy.
- Molasses adds a rich, deep flavor but can be omitted or substituted with honey for a milder taste.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute salted butter with vegan butter and use plant-based milk instead of whole milk.
- Make sure the butter is fully melted before pouring the batter to achieve the signature crispy, buttery crust.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg or lemon zest for additional flavor in the batter if desired.
