Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
  • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon whole milk divided
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter cubed
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado or sanding sugar optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and grease an 8” baking dish lightly with nonstick spray. 
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the blueberries, cornstarch, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Transfer to your prepared baking dish. 
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder.
  • Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender (or your fingers) to incorporate the butter until it is the size of peas. 
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup of milk and vanilla extract. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until it comes together into a shaggy dough. 
  • Sprinkle the cobbler topping over the blueberries, covering as much of the surface as possible. 
  • Sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly over the cobbler.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the blueberry filling is bubbling and the cobbler is golden brown.
  • Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream. 

Notes

  • This recipe would work with a 1:1 gluten-free flour substitute as well. 
  • I used whole milk, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
