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.

Hi! Would I be able to use almond flour in place of normal flour?
Hi Sarah! I am not sure if the results would be the same as I haven’t tested it. If you give it a try I’d love to know how it goes! ☺️

I’m so happy that you loved the cobbler Murinna!! Thank you so much!!
Would Splenda or a similar sugar substitute work with this recipe? I need to make something friendly for diabetics.
Hi JG, I can’t say if/how this can be converted to be diabetic friendly, my apologies.
I used coconut sugar and it turned out really cakey and not as I was expecting
Easy and so yummy ! A hit with family and freinds – used fresh blackberrys from our yard and one that we froze. Going to try peaches from our yard

Can’t beat fresh berries, yummm! Thanks so much for the great review, I’m so happy you’re enjoying this one!💖
I made this recipe a few days ago and my family loved it! I doubled the recipe and used a frozen triple berry blend that had blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. I used a 9×13 dish and added about 12 mins extra bake time. I also substituted the 2 tablespoons of sugar for light brown sugar then topped with vanilla bean ice cream and it was DIVINE! I’ve tried several of your recipes and they’ve all been a huge hit. Thanks so much for sharing!
I’m so happy the family loved this one Michelle! The triple berry blend sounds amazing. I love experimenting with different fruits. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!❤️
