This Bisquick blueberry cobbler is an easy dessert that can be prepared using fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries, or pie filling.

If you love easy Bisquick recipes, try my strawberry shortcake, waffles, biscuits, coffee cake, and chicken and dumplings.

Bisquick is a staple ingredient I always keep fully stocked in my pantry. It can be used to make so many things, from pancakes to sausage balls and even fried chicken.

Cobblers are one of my favorite desserts using this baking mix, like this apple or peach version. They are so much easier to prepare than making the batter completely from scratch, and my family can't tell the difference.

🥘 Ingredients

• Bisquick - This simple baking mix can be found in the baking aisle of any grocery store.
• Milk - The liquid that makes the batter.
• Sugar—There should be enough sugar to add sweetness to the batter. You can reduce the sugar or omit it entirely if desired. Other sweeteners like honey, Stevia, or Swerve also work. You can see all of my sugar substitutes here.
• Vanilla - A small amount of pure vanilla extract adds extra flavor.
• Blueberries - You can use fresh or frozen blueberries as well as canned or homemade blueberry pie filling.
• Butter - Melted butter is poured into the baking dish before adding the batter.
• Cornstarch (optional) - I recommend using cornstarch to coat your blueberries if using frozen blueberries or adding lemon juice. This will keep the cobbler from having too much liquid.
• Lemon (optional) - One lemon's zest and/or juice add depth of flavor and highlight the blueberries.

🔪 How To Make Bisquick Blueberry Cobbler

Baking mix makes this cobbler recipe completely foolproof and beginner-friendly. You will need a large mixing bowl, measuring utensils, and an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish.

This recipe will yield approximately 9 servings.

Prepare the Batter

Step 1: Preheat. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4).

Step 2: Mix the batter. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together1¼ cups (210 grams) of Bisquick,⅔ cup (158 milliliters) of milk,½ cup (100 grams) of sugar, and1 teaspoon of vanilla extractuntil just combined. Set aside.

Assemble the Cobbler

Step 3: Coat the blueberries. (Optional) Place3 cups (444 grams) of blueberriesinto a bowl and gently toss them with1 tablespoon of cornstarchto coat them.

Step 4: Add butter. Pour6 tablespoons of melted butterinto an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish.

Step 5: Pour in the batter. Pour the batter over the melted butter.

Step 6: Spread the blueberries. Gently spread the blueberries over the top of the batter so that they form an even layer. Sprinkle on the optional lemon juice and zest if using.

Bake & Serve

Step 7: Bake. Bake in your preheated oven at 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4) for 30-35 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges and all the batter is cooked and no longer jiggly. When inserting a knife into the center, it should come out clean.

Step 8: Serve. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.

💭 Tips & Notes

• Add lemon. Lemon juice and zest complement blueberries in any recipe. This optional addition enhances the berry flavor and takes this dessert to the next level.
• Use cornstarch. If using frozen blueberries or the optional lemon juice, I suggest mixing the blueberries with cornstarch. This will help to thicken the juices so your cobbler isn't runny.
• Add other fruits. This is a very versatile base cobbler recipe. Feel free to mix in other berries you have on hand, such as raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries. However, keep the total volume of fruit between 3 and 4 cups.

🥡 Storing & Reheating

Store leftover cobbler in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

To freeze, let the cobbler cool completely and then wrap it tightly in plastic cling wrap and foil. Using both will reduce the chance of freezer burn. It can be frozen for up to six months.

Let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating in the oven at350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4).

Alternatively, you can reheat individual portions in the microwave at medium heat. Cover with a damp towel to reduce splatter.
