Ingredients

Blueberry Filling

  • 4 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen)
  • ¼ cup fine cane sugar (or light brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Cobbler Batter

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fine cane sugar
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk or buttermilk

Topping (Optional)

  • 1-2 teaspoons turbinado sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to ensure the cobbler won’t stick after baking.
  2. Mix Blueberry Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the fresh or frozen blueberries with ¼ cup fine cane sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Toss gently to evenly coat the berries and set this mixture aside to macerate while preparing the batter.
  3. Combine Dry Batter Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, 1 cup fine cane sugar, and salt until well blended, creating the dry base for your cobbler batter.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients to Batter: Pour in the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and whole milk or buttermilk into the dry ingredients. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until smooth and free of lumps. This batter will be poured directly into your baking dish.
  5. Assemble Cobbler: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the sprayed baking dish. Spoon the blueberry filling gently over the top of the batter, distributing it evenly. Optionally, sprinkle 1 to 2 teaspoons of turbinado sugar on top to add a subtle crunch and extra sweetness.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown, edges are crisp, and the filling is bubbly.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. For an extra special treat, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream.

Notes

  • You can use frozen blueberries without thawing them first; just add a few extra minutes to baking time if needed.
  • Substitute buttermilk with whole milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar for a homemade buttermilk.
  • Turbinado sugar topping adds a delightful crunch but is optional.
  • The cobbler can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
  • For a vegan version, substitute the milk with plant-based milk and ensure coconut oil and sugar are vegan-friendly.
