Ingredients
Scale
Cobbler Batter
- 1 stick salted butter, cubed
- 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 whole milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Blueberry Topping
- 4-5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F and prepare a 9×13 inch or similar sized oval baking dish for baking.
- Melt Butter: Place cubed butter into the baking dish and put it in the oven for about 10 minutes until the butter is completely melted.
- Make Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Add whole milk, 1 cup brown sugar, molasses, and vanilla extract, mixing well until everything is fully incorporated.
- Prepare Blueberries: In a separate bowl, toss the blueberries with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons flour to evenly coat the fruit.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Carefully spoon the blueberry mixture over the batter, distributing it evenly.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 55 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges turn a golden brown color.
- Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly. Serve warm topped with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use frozen blueberries directly from the freezer without thawing to avoid a watery cobbler.
- Substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add a pinch more salt if preferred.
- You can swap ground ginger and cinnamon with nutmeg or allspice for a different flavor profile.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk and butter with a plant-based alternative.
- Ensure the baking dish is oven-safe and the correct size to achieve optimal baking results.
