Easy Blueberry Cobbler With Bisquick

Fruit cobblers are some of my favorite baked goods to make, particularly during the summer. I love to prepare them for a quick dessert or to bring to picnics and potlucks. Not only are they great to share and delicious to enjoy, but cobblers are also terrifically easy to prepare.

Most cobbler recipes, including this Bisquick Blueberry Cobbler recipe, only take about 30 minutes to bake. So you are spending 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 absolutely can make this delicious blueberry cobbler any time of the year.

This simple cobbler recipe is so easy to use fresh or frozen blueberries, blueberry pie filling, or even canned blueberries. Or make a fruit cobbler with peaches, strawberries, blackberries, or cherries!

Using Bisquick keeps the recipe nearly effortless, but you can also use my 3 ingredients rolled biscuits or drop biscuits for a homemade topping.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Blueberries – you can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe. You can also use canned blueberries, but drain them first and increase the amount of cornstarch to 2 Tbps.
  
• Cornstarch – This helps thicken the blueberry juices and give them a thicker consistency.
  
• Lemon juice – This enhances the flavor of the blueberries. You can also add a teaspoon of freshly grated lemon zest for a pop of flavor.
  
• Sugar – We used regular sugar but you can use Splenda sugar (baking). Do not use regular Splenda, as the fruit cobbler will not thicken properly. Instead, use 1/2 regular Splenda and 1/2 sugar.
  
• Original Bisquick mix – This recipe calls for Bisquick, but you can make your own homemade biscuit mix to substitute for this boxed baking mix.
  
• Milk – You can use whole milk or 2% milk.
  
• Butter – We suggest grating the butter in order to make it easier to distribute evenly over the blueberry mixture. Semi-frozen butter is easier to grate.

Kitchen Tools Needed

• Cast iron skillet or casserole dish
• Medium bowl
• Round tablespoon or cookie scoop – for shaping the biscuits

How to Make the Best Bisquick Blueberry Cobbler Recipe

Whether you make this blueberry cobbler with pie filling, canned blueberries, or fresh or frozen blueberries, this delicious dessert only takes about 30 minutes to make.

Here are the steps to prepare this cobbler with either fresh or frozen blueberries. If the blueberries are frozen, there’s no need to thaw! See recipe notes for tips to make this recipe with canned blueberries or blueberry pie filling.

First, preheat the oven to 375º Fahrenheit.

Then stir together the blueberries, cornstarch, 1/2 a cup of sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Pour into a cast-iron skillet or casserole dish and bake for 10 minutes. After that, we’ll add the biscuit topping.

Rinse and dry the mixing bowl. To make the cobbler topping, mix the Bisquick baking mix, remaining sugar, milk, and butter in the bowl. The batter should be thick, almost like a dough.

Now use a cookie scooper, ice cream scoop, or two large spoons to carefully drop round spoonfuls of dough over the hot blueberry mixture.

Use the back of the scoop or a spoon to press the dough gently into the blueberries mixture.

Bake the cobbler for 15 more minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. Remove from the oven.

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

Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
