Ingredient Notes

Fresh Blueberries

Fresh blueberries give this cobbler the best flavor and texture. If blueberries aren’t in season, frozen blueberries work well too. Simply add them frozen and increase the cooking time by about 20 to 30 minutes if needed.

Refrigerated Biscuits

Regular refrigerated biscuits make this recipe incredibly easy. As they cook, they become soft and fluffy while soaking up some of the sweet blueberry juices.

Brown Sugar

Brown sugar adds a rich caramel flavor that pairs perfectly with the tart blueberries.

Cornstarch

Cornstarch thickens the blueberry filling so you end up with a rich, jammy cobbler instead of a runny dessert.

Cinnamon

A little cinnamon adds warmth and makes this dessert taste like it came straight from Grandma’s kitchen.

How to Make Crockpot Blueberry Cobbler

Wash and dry the blueberries, removing any stems or leaves.

Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Stir until the blueberries are evenly coated. You can also mix everything directly in the crockpot to save on dishes.

Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into four pieces.

Spread the biscuit pieces evenly over the blueberry mixture.

Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on High for 2 to 3 hours, or until the blueberries are bubbling and the biscuits are cooked through and lightly browned.

Serve warm with whipped cream or a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips for the Best Crockpot Blueberry Cobbler

• Avoid lifting the lid while the cobbler is cooking. Every time you open it, heat escapes and increases the cooking time.
• Spread the biscuit pieces evenly across the top so every serving gets plenty of fluffy topping.
• For extra flavor, stir in one teaspoon of fresh lemon zest with the blueberries.
• Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving so the filling has time to thicken.
• If you like a sweeter dessert, sprinkle a little coarse sugar over the biscuits before cooking.

Variations

Mixed Berry Cobbler

Replace half of the blueberries with raspberries or blackberries for a delicious mixed berry version.

Lemon Blueberry Cobbler

Add one teaspoon of lemon zest and one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice for a bright citrus flavor.

Peach Blueberry Cobbler

Mix in two cups of peeled, sliced peaches with the blueberries for an easy summer dessert.

Add Nuts

Sprinkle chopped pecans or sliced almonds over the biscuits during the last 30 minutes of cooking for added crunch.

Storage

Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To reheat, microwave individual servings for 30 to 45 seconds or warm larger portions in the oven until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes! Frozen blueberries work wonderfully in this recipe. There’s no need to thaw them first, but you may need to increase the cooking time slightly.

Can I cook this on Low?

Absolutely. Cook on Low for about 4 to 5 hours instead of High for 2 to 3 hours.

Why is my blueberry cobbler runny?

Blueberries release a lot of juice while cooking. The cornstarch helps thicken the filling, and allowing the cobbler to sit for about 10 minutes after cooking will help it set up even more.

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?

Yes. Homemade biscuit dough works just as well and gives the cobbler an even more homemade taste.

What should I serve with Crockpot Blueberry Cobbler?

Vanilla ice cream is the classic choice, but homemade whipped cream, Cool Whip, or even a drizzle of heavy cream are all delicious options.
