Scale
Fruit Mixture
- 4 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
- 1 tablespoon flour
Batter
- 1 cup all purpose flour (130g)
- 1/4 cup sugar (50g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit mixture: In a large bowl, stir together the blackberries, granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of flour until evenly combined. Spread this mixture into a lightly greased 2.5-4 quart crockpot to form the base layer.
- Make the batter: In another large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add the milk, egg, and canola oil, stirring until just combined. The batter will be thick and drop spoonfuls easily.
- Assemble the cobbler: Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls evenly over the blackberry mixture in the crockpot. Try to cover the berries as much as possible, but gaps are fine as it bakes.
- Cook the cobbler: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 3 to 4 hours. The cobbler is done when the topping is golden at the edges and dry to the touch, and the blackberry filling has thickened.
- Rest and serve: Let the cobbler sit in the crockpot with the lid off for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- This recipe takes just 10 minutes of prep time and cooks entirely in the crockpot, keeping your kitchen cool and oven-free.
- The topping forms a crisp and cakey texture that complements the juicy blackberry filling perfectly.
- Using fresh or frozen blackberries works equally well for this cobbler.
- Allowing the cobbler to rest before serving helps the filling thicken and enhances flavors.
- Vanilla ice cream is an excellent accompaniment to the warm cobbler, adding creamy sweetness.
