Guys, I’m not much of a baker. I say it all the time. I don’t have the talent, patience, or desire for it.
But this recipe is amazing and requires absolutely no baking skills of any kind.
You have just met the best easy brunch idea guys.
Let’s go over some really easy FAQ.
Ingredients
See recipe card at the bottom of post for quantities and full instructions
- Sugar
- Self Rising Flour- it contains a leavening agent that helps make baked goods rise. It’s often used to make biscuits and other fluffy baked goods.
- Whole Milk
- Butter
- Blackberries– fresh or frozen
- Vanilla Ice Cream– for serving, optional
Homemade Self Rising Flour
- 1 + 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for each cup of flour.
How to Make The Pioneer Woman’s Blackberry Cobbler
- Combine the 1 cup sugar and 1 cup self-rising flour. Add 1 cup whole milk and 1/2 stick melted butter.
- Add to a (9 x 9) casserole dish and top with 2 cups blackberries.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar on top and bake at 350° F for 50 minutes.
- Add 2 Tablespoons sugar and bake for 10 more minutes.
- Serve with vanilla ice scream and serve.
Using Frozen Berries
- Frozen berries work well in this recipe as well, be sure to add them when they’re frozen. If you let them thaw, they’ll be mushy and the consistency will be off.
Alternative Berry Options
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
- Peaches
or use a combination of several!
How to Store Leftover Cobbler
- Baked Cobbler can be covered and stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Freezing Leftover Cobbler
- This Cobbler can be frozen and it’s best if you do so after it’s been baked due to the leavening agent in the flour.
- To reheat, let it thaw overnight and bake it in a covered oven-safe dish at 350° until heated through. The amount of time will depend on how much you’re heating.
- You can also reheat in the microwave.
Best Pan Sizes For This Recipe
- A 9 x 9 inch pan works well for this recipe. If using a 9 x 13 pan, consider doubling the recipe for thicker results.
What to Serve with Blackberry Cobbler
…Just kidding. I just want to see if you’re paying attention. The obvious answer is vanilla ice cream.
Should you choose to omit this very important addition, I will find you…ice cream in hand.

The Pioneer Women's Blackberry Cobbler
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons sugar, separated
- 1 cup self-rising flour, see notes for easy homemade version
- 1 cup milk, any kind, whole is best
- 1/2 stick butter, melted. (equal to 4 tbsp.)
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries, rinsed and patted dry.
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Note: If using frozen berries, be sure to add them when they're frozen. If you let them thaw, they'll be mushy, and the consistency will be off.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine 1 cup of sugar with the flour in a large bowl.
- Stir in the milk, then the melted butter. Mix until well-combined.
- Pour onto the bottom of a greased 9 x 9 inch baking dish.
- Distribute the berries throughout the top. They’ll sink in further as they bake.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup sugar over the top, reserving 2 tablespoons for later.
- Bake for 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar on top.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Serve immediately, (with ice cream of course)!
Notes
- To make Homemade Self Rising Flour: 1 cup flour + ½ tsp of salt + 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- Alternative berry options include blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, peaches, or a combination of several!
- Sometimes I'll reserve some of the berries and add them 30 minutes into baking so that they set closer to the top.
- If you adjust the number servings for this recipe at the top of the recipe card: The written information remains the same, the quantities only update in the ingredient list.

Have made this recipe a few times and it’s always a hit! Question – I see on Pioneer Woman’s website she calls for 1/2 cup butter which is 1 stick and this recipe calls for 1/2 stick. Is that intentional?
Hi Sarah! My source for this is The Food Network’s version of her Blackberry Cobbler. I think that legally, her own site and The Food Network’s site have to have differences between the recipes because they’re never the same. It becomes confusing! But 1/2 stick is what I use for this recipe and it works well! 🙂
Hey there! I’m excited to try out this recipe with blackberries picked and froze from the backyard! My berries tend to be big and seedy, do you have suggestions on making this less seedy? Thank you!
Hi Amy! 🙂 There’s not really a good way to remove seeds from blackberries until you boil them and put them through a sieve and since this recipe uses whole uncooked blackberries, I’m not sure what can be done!
Thank you for your quick response! I went ahead and made the recipe as written and it was so yummm! Looking forward to trying again with a different fruit! Thanks!
I’m so happy that you loved it Amy!! It’s definitely fun playing around with different fruit fillings! Thank you so much for the review! -Stephanie
Very easy and delicious
Thanks Emily!💖
The best blackberry cobbler recipe! this one will be passed down through the generations for sure:)
That makes me so happy! Thank you!💕
Is there anyway to make this gluten free by using gluten free flour and baking soda?
I think that Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Flour would work fine! I haven’t tested it but I don’t see why not 🙂
Can I use heavy cream instead of whole milk for this recipe? Thanks
Yes that should work!!
Love love the cobbler recipe. All fruit is very good. My husband likes for cobbler to be a bit juicer than this recipe, do I just add more milk or make a soree and pour over it when done? I love it like it is , but just wanted to ask.
Hi Melodye! I have always followed the recipe as written, but perhaps a tad more milk and some more berries would do the trick!
Turned out great but could have used an additional cup of berries im my opinion.
I’ve made this recipe a few times now and it’s always a hit!
I’m so happy to hear that Kerri! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!💖
We only have almond milk And half and half. Will either work or do I need to make a run to market for whole? Thanks.
Hi Brent! Half and half will work!
