Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Blackberries: we used fresh blackberries for this recipe but you can also use frozen blackberries. Add a bit of water if you’re baking with fresh blackberries. And, there’s no need to add water if making Bisquick cobbler with frozen berries.
• Original Bisquick mix: this is the secret ingredient that makes our cobbler so easy to prepare and delicious! If you don’t have one, make your own diy bisquick to substitute for this boxed baking mix.
• Sugar: white sugar is used to sweeten the filling. You can also use brown sugar for a richer flavor.
• Lemon juice: this adds a bright and zesty touch of acidity to the filling. You can also use lime juice for a slightly different flavor.
• Milk: we used whole milk for the topping. You can also use 2% milk or plant-based alternative milks like almond, oat, and coconut milk.
• Butter: for a light and flaky topping that melts in your mouth. We used salted butter in this recipe but you can also use unsalted butter.

Recipe Variations

• Mixed berry cobbler: Swap the blackberries for a blend of berries like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries for a delicious berry cobbler twist. You can use fresh or frozen mixed fruit—no need to thaw beforehand!
• Cinnamon vanilla cobbler: Add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cobbler batter. These warm flavors complement the juicy blackberries beautifully, making this a comforting dessert option for cooler seasons.
• Classic cobbler with pie crust crumble: For a more traditional texture, skip the Bisquick topping and make a crumble using 1 cup flour, ½ cup sugar, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 6 tablespoons butter. Or, for a shortcut, layer strips of pie crust over the fruit filling for a cross between cobbler and pie.

Equipment Used in this Recipe
