I’m not much of a baker. I say it all the time. But this recipe is amazing and requires absolutely no baking skills.
Let’s go over some really easy FAQ.
Ingredients
See recipe card at the bottom of post for quantities and full instructions
- Sugar
- Self Rising Flour- it contains a leavening agent that helps make baked goods rise. It’s often used to make biscuits and other fluffy baked goods.
- Whole Milk
- Butter
- Blackberries– fresh or frozen
- Vanilla Ice Cream– for serving, optional
Homemade Self Rising Flour
- 1 + 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for each cup of flour.

How to Make The Pioneer Woman’s Blackberry Cobbler
- Combine the 1 cup sugar and 1 cup self-rising flour. Add 1 cup whole milk and 1/2 stick melted butter.
- Add to a (9 x 9) casserole dish and top with 2 cups blackberries.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar on top and bake at 350° F for 50 minutes.
- Add 2 Tablespoons sugar and bake for 10 more minutes.
- Serve with vanilla ice scream and serve.

Using Frozen Berries
- Frozen berries work well in this recipe as well, be sure to add them when they’re frozen. If you let them thaw, they’ll be mushy and the consistency will be off.
Alternative Berry Options
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
- Blueberries- Or try my own Blueberry Cobbler recipe!
- Peaches- Or try my own Peach Cobbler recipe, it’s amazing!
or use a combination of several!
How to Store Leftover Cobbler
- Baked Cobbler can be covered and stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Freezing Leftover Cobbler
- This Cobbler can be frozen and it’s best if you do so after it’s been baked due to the leavening agent in the flour.
- To reheat, let it thaw overnight and bake it in a covered oven-safe dish at 350° until heated through. The amount of time will depend on how much you’re heating.
- You can also reheat in the microwave.
Best Pan Sizes For This Recipe
- A 9 x 9 inch pan works well for this recipe. If using a 9 x 13 pan, consider doubling the recipe for thicker results.
What to Serve with Blackberry Cobbler
…Just kidding. I just want to see if you’re paying attention. The obvious answer is vanilla ice cream.
Should you choose to omit this very important addition, I will find you…ice cream in hand.

Can you freeze this after baking?
HI Brittany! Yes, you can freeze this once it’s fully cooled! 🙂
This is one of the first recipes I memorized as a child since it’s just cuppa-cuppa-cuppa. Try putting the butter into the pan in the oven while the oven preheats. The butter melts and greases the pan all at once and helps to give a crispy crust around the outside of the cobbler. Just be careful not to burn the butter!
Love it Nancy! Thanks for the tips!! 🙂
1st and last recipe I will ever need now that my blackberries are bearing. Conflicts between pan size, pics, and comments. 9×9 is square and pics are rectangular. Since 9×9 is 81 sq inches a 9×13 is 117 sq inches and would need about 1.5 cups of ingredients. I used 1-1-1 cups from recipe with oval Corningware and it works perfect every time with the 1 hour total bake. We have had 2 gallons of berries and 4 cobblers over the weeks. Usually no leftovers with 4 people without ice cream. The sugar sprinkle at the end is a nice twist… just shake it on til it looks yummy and guessing more of a 1/2 cup sprinkle may be where I landed for my pan. Simple and delicious!
Hi JP! I’m so glad that you love the recipe! The size of the baking dish in the picture is rectangle as you mentioned, it’s a strange size, more like an 8 x 12, so very close to a 9 x 9 and works fine with this!
Have you tried this with 1for1 gluten free flour?
Hi Aly, that would work in this recipe, yes! Enjoy!
I love this quick & easy recipe! Good for dessert, snack, breakfast & basically anytime! ♥️
I’m so happy you’re enjoying it Charlotte! I’ve definitely had this for breakfast! Thanks so much for the great review💖
Hello can I prep this before and. and later? 🙂
Hi Lauren! The self rising flour gets activated when it’s combined with the liquid so if you don’t bake it right afterwards, it won’t rise properly. So unfortunately I don’t think this is a good make-ahead recipe.
I found this recipe and decided to try baking a cobbler (I have never baked a pie or cobbler until I tried this recipe!) instead of a pie. Everyone, including me, thought it was ‘FANTASTIC.) Thank you for sharing! I doubled the recipe and used 9 x 13 pan. Finish eating this morning and I am making two more tonight.-)
I’m so happy it was such a hit Troy! You sound like me eating a cobbler in the morning 😆. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!
How long did you bake the double recipe in the 9 x 13 pan?
Can you use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Frozen peaches work well in this recipe, be sure to add them when they’re frozen. If you let them thaw, they’ll be mushy and the consistency will be off 🙂
Super easy to make and turns out delicious!
I’m so happy you liked it! I make this dessert year round using different fruits. Thanks so much for the great review!💖
This looks amazing, I’m trying it tonight!! I’m wondering if I can I use brown sugar in place of regular just for the top of the crust?
You sure could! 🙂 Enjoy!
I tried it with brown sugar on top and it was amazing!! Also tried but with peaches, also a huge hit!!
Those modifications sound great! Thank you so much for sharing!
