    Easy Blueberry Cobbler | 5DollarDinners.com

    Our blueberry bushes have started producing early this year because we had such an early spring in our area but I still have a bunch put away in the freezer from last year so I thought I’d better start using them up.  This blueberry cobbler recipe is a family favorite and it is SO simple to make that I really have no excuse for not throwing it together more often!

    You could substitute any type of fresh fruit for this recipe like raspberries, blackberries, pitted tart cherries, sliced nectarines or peeled and sliced peaches.  I’ve even been known to use canned cherries when fresh fruit wasn’t available.  You can also half the recipe and use a 9×9 pan instead if you don’t have as many people to feed.

      1/4 cup butter is not one stick, but 1/2 a stick.

      One stick is 1/2 cup.

      Oops – you’re right Amy! One stick of butter equals 1/4 lb or 1/2 cup – the recipe calls for 1/2 cup so I’ve corrected it above. Thanks a bunch for catching that!

      I’ve made this with just fresh fruit and no cornstarch or anything or with canned fruit with most of the syrup/juice drained. Both ways make a yummy cobbler! Just like dump cake, oh and I melt my (vegan) butter and drizzle it all over as it seems to help with the dry cake mix spots. In fact, I just made it this morning with canned peaches. 🙂

      Do you think you could substitute coconut oil for the butter?

        The main purpose of the butter is to moisten the dry cake mix layer so it will brown and turn into a “crust” so I would think that cocount oil would work just fine but I have never tried it myself. Please let us know how it turns out if you give it a shot, it actually sounds yummy!

      I have used this recipe many times. This variation also yummy….use canned apple pie filling or fresh and a box of spice cake mix.

      Not sure why, but I’m running across a lot of these recipes lately, that when I click on the “Save Recipe” button, it tells me “You 404’d it. Gnarly, dude.” It’s really starting to get annoying. Is there something I’m not doing correctly or is it just a glitch on your website? The first few times I saved recipes to my ZipList, I didn’t have a problem. Help, please.

      I’m so happy to hear that your family enjoyed it Teresa and it sounds fabulous with mixed berries! I’ve also used cherry pie filling and that is delicious too 😉
