Blackberry Cobbler

As we approach summer, there are many types of wonderful produce at its peak, and blackberries are among them. Chubby, juicy, and the perfect blend of sweet and sour, these berries are amazing on their own (or whipped into a blackberry mojito!), but they really are at their best when baked in a homemade blackberry cobbler.

I’ve tried adding a little tang with orange zest and really liked the results. Making cobblers is super quick and easy as you can get creative and use your favorite flavor combinations.

You can also make mixed berry cobbler, or add lemon zest, vanilla, and cinnamon as well, in the latter your imagination is the limit.

There really isn’t anything quite like eating a bite of cobbler with a tablespoon of your favorite ice cream, or just a drizzle of cream.

Cobblers are one of my favorite desserts because they are delicious, easy, and quick.

Blackberry Cobbler Ingredients:

Blackberries: Look for large, plump blackberries. They are sweeter. We use two and a half cups.

Sugar: This recipe calls for a cup of sugar, but you can eat up to ½ cup easily.

Orange zest: I just love the orange berry combo. You can skip it if you like, or add lemon zest instead. For me, I used 2 teaspoons of orange zest.

All-Purpose Flour: I don’t recommend using whole wheat flour for cobblers. You can use cake flour or self-rising flour, but all-purpose works just fine. And all you need for this recipe ia one cup.

Baking powder: Add 2 teaspoons if you’re using all-purpose flour. And if you are using self-rising flour, don’t add baking powder.

Salt: only half a teaspoon. Salt enhances the flavor of the berries, but you only need to add a little more. It must be undetectable.

Milk: I used whole milk. You can use any other plant-based milk if you like, or low-fat milk. For me, I just think the texture and flavor are better with whole milk. You will need one cup.

Butter: Half a cup or one stick is what you need. If you want to make a vegan version, you can replace the butter with a lighter 1:1 oil.
