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.

How To Make Blackberry Cobbler With Bisquick

There are only 4 super easy steps to making this scrumptious recipe. And, it’s ready in about 30 minutes.

This recipe is perfect as a last-minute dessert any night of the week. So, let’s start making the easiest blackberry cobbler with Bisquick!

First, preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Then stir together berries with the cornstarch, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Heat them over medium heat.

If you’re using fresh blackberries, you’ll also need to add water. Stir frequently as you bring the mixture to a boil.

Meanwhile, stir together the Bisquick mix, butter, rest of the sugar, and milk in a medium bowl. The batter will be thick, with a dough-like consistency.

Next, spoon the blackberry mixture into a baking dish and spread it out evenly. Use a cookie scoop or two tablespoons to drop spoonfuls of the Bisquick dough on top of the blackberry mixture.

Gently press the dough into the blackberries so that it’s slightly submerged.

Bake the old fashioned blackberry cobbler for about 25 minutes. The filling should be bubbling and the top golden brown.

Optional: melt butter to brush the tops of the cobbler biscuit dough after baking.

Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy this warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or topped with whipping cream. It’s also delicious with a dollop of tangy cream cheese on top.
