Why We Love This Blueberry Cobbler with Bisquick
- Fruit cobblers are perfect for using up summer fruits.
I love to make them as a quick and easy dessert to bring to picnics and potlucks. - They bake quickly.
Most cobbler recipes, including this Bisquick blueberry cobbler recipe, take only 30 minutes to bake, so you spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the season!
Speaking of the season: if possible, I prefer to use fresh blueberries when they are in season. However, you can make this delicious blueberry cobbler any time of the year with frozen berries.
This simple cobbler recipe is so easy to use with fresh or frozen blueberries, blueberry pie filling, or even canned blueberries. You can also make a fruit cobbler with Bisquick and peach cobbler, a peach cobbler cake recipe, a cobbler made with Bisquick, blackberries, or cherries!
Using Bisquick makes the recipe nearly effortless, but you can also use my 3 ingredient biscuits recipe or biscuit recipe with self rising flour for a homemade biscuit topping without any baking mix.
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Blueberries: this recipe can be made with fresh or frozen blueberries. You can also use canned blueberries. Drain and rinse them well and increase the cornstarch to 2 tablespoons. See the recipe for blueberry pie filling.
- Cornstarch: is necessary to thicken the filling. If you’re out of cornstarch, see this list of substitutions for cornstarch.
- Lemon juice: enhances the flavor of the blueberries. For a pop of flavor, you can also add a teaspoon of freshly grated lemon zest.
- Sugar: we recommend regular granulated sugar, but you can use Splenda for baking. Do not use regular Splenda, as the fruit cobbler will not thicken properly. Instead, use a 1/2 regular Splenda and 1/2 sugar blend.
- Original Bisquick mix: you can make your own homemade Bisquick mix to substitute for this boxed baking mix.
- Milk: use whole milk or 2% milk.
- Butter: there’s really no substitute for butter in this recipe. We suggest grating the butter so it mixes easily with the biscuit topping ingredients.
Recipe Variations
- Cinnamon sugar topping: Before baking, sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar over the biscuit topping for a sweet, spiced finish. This adds a warm flavor that pairs beautifully with the blueberries.
- Mixed berry cobbler: Swap out some of the blueberries for raspberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries to make a classic berry cobbler. You can use the same total amount of fruit, just mix and match what you have on hand.
- Oat crumble biscuit top: Add ¼ cup of oats and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the Bisquick mixture. This gives the cobbler a rustic texture similar to fruit crisps, especially when topped with a tbsp butter melted over the biscuits right out of the oven.
- Cinnamon vanilla twist: Stir ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and a dash of vanilla extract into the Bisquick topping before adding it to the baking dish. A pinch of baking powder can also be added for extra rise if your mix is homemade.
Equipment Used in this Recipe
- Cast iron skillet or casserole dish
- Medium bowl
- Large round tablespoon or cookie scoop – for shaping the biscuits
How to Make Blueberry Cobbler Bisquick
Whether you make this blueberry cobbler with pie filling, canned blueberries, or fresh or frozen blueberries, this delicious dessert is so easy to make.
See the recipe notes for how to make this recipe with canned blueberries or blueberry pie filling.
If the blueberries are frozen, there’s no need to thaw them!
- First, preheat the oven to 375º F.
🎯 TFN Pro Tip
Pop your butter in the freezer while you’re preparing the filling. It will be so much easier to grate!
- Then stir the blueberries, cornstarch, 1/2 cup of sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Pour into a cast-iron skillet or casserole dish and bake for 10 minutes. While you’re baking the filling, make the biscuit topping.
- Mix the Bisquick baking mix, remaining sugar, milk, and grated butter in a bowl to make the biscuit topping. The batter should be thick, almost like dough.
- Use a cookie scooper, ice cream scoop, or two large spoons to carefully drop round spoonfuls of dough over the hot blueberry mixture. Then, press the dough gently into the blueberry mixture.
- Bake the cobbler for 15 more minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Optional: melt butter to brush the tops of the blueberry cobbler Bisquick after baking.
Serving Suggestions
You can enjoy Bisquick blueberry cobbler warm from the oven, at room temperature, or even chilled—it’s delicious any way you slice it. For a cozy dessert straight out of the oven, top it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and let it melt into the warm berries. Want to dial up the fruitiness? Try blueberry ice cream for even more blueberry flavor in every bite. A dollop of whipped cream adds a light, airy touch, while a smear of softened cream cheese gives the cobbler a rich and tangy contrast that’s hard to resist. However you top it, this dessert is pure comfort in a bowl.
