Ingredients for Blueberry Filling:

4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (or best blueberries for cobbler)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (or healthy sugar alternatives)

2 tablespoons cornstarch (or cornstarch alternatives)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (or fresh lemon juice)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or pure vanilla extract)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or cinnamon substitutes)

1/4 teaspoon salt (or sea salt for baking)

For the Cobbler Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour options)

1/4 cup granulated sugar (or sugar substitutes for baking)

2 teaspoons baking powder (or baking powder substitutes)

1/2 teaspoon salt (or Himalayan salt for baking)

1/2 cup milk (or almond milk or non-dairy milk alternatives)

1/4 cup unsalted butter (or vegan butter for baking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or natural vanilla extract)

Directions:

Preheat Your Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for the perfect bake.

Prepare Blueberry Filling:

In a large mixing bowl, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Toss gently to coat the blueberries and set aside for 10 minutes. This step helps the blueberry filling thicken, releasing all its juicy goodness.

Make the Cobbler Topping:

In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix! The cobbler topping should be slightly lumpy.

Assemble the Cobbler:

Pour the blueberry filling into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Spoon the cobbler topping over the blueberries, letting some of the fruit peek through (this adds texture and visual appeal). No need to make it perfect!

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.

Cool and Serve:

Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the blueberry filling to thicken and become even more irresistible.

Serving Suggestions:

For an extra indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The creamy toppings elevate the flavor of this easy dessert recipe!
