With fresh or frozen berries and just a few ingredients, this quick and Easy Blackberry Cobbler Recipe makes a great dessert! Top this fluffy cake-like cobbler with vanilla ice cream and you’ll never want anything else!
Blackberry cobbler is a summer tradition in our home! Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have an abundance of wild blackberries just a block away, making it pretty easy to pick a bowl full whenever you need some. Whether I’m baking this cobbler or using the slow cooker, both recipes are easy and always delicious! See my Crockpot Blackberry Cobbler Here.
Easy Blackberry Cobbler Recipe
Living here in the NW, we are lucky to have a wide variety of different kinds of berries throughout the summer. I devour the local strawberries straight from the farmers and I only need to walk a few steps out my back door into my yard to pick our very own raspberries and blueberries. I am also lucky enough to have blackberry lined walking trails near my home to pick a few for one of my most favorite summertime recipes.
I use this method in preventing my berries from molding! And this is how I freeze my berries. You’ll be so happy!
Can I use Frozen Berries for Blackberry Cobbler?
I make this recipe in the winter with frozen berries or pie filling when I’m desperate. Still delicious, but boy can it leave a mess in my oven. All those berries bubbling over can leave a nice reminder in the bottom of my oven that I just baked a yummy dessert.
Having a self-cleaning oven comes in handy since I hate using oven cleaner. It just seems so toxic to place inside where I cook my food.
Of course, this is best served warm out of the oven alamode.

What makes my oven messy? My HUSBAND, LOL.
Seriously, he makes the biggest messes an oven has ever seen! It’s partly my fault though. About 2 years ago after 31 years of marriage I decided to teach my husband how to make a pie. This was one of the best and worst things I have ever done. The best, because ever since he learned how to make and bake pies he’s become known as the “Pie Doctor.” He makes and bakes up the best pies around. Friends and family just love his delicious pies. He says “anyone can make a pie, but not everyone can make a good pie.” I think he got that from Alton Brown on “Good Eats” the TV show (Alton is his new cooking hero.) But anyway, getting back to my messy oven, teaching my husband how to make pies was also one of my worst decisions in our now 33 years of marriage. My husband makes lots of fruit pies, we too live in the North West, have blueberry, and blackberry bushes, our neighbors have raspberry fields and every summer we “can” our own fresh peach pie filling. Early yesterday morning he made 2 black, strawberry and blueberry pies and I was wakened to the screeching sound of our fire alarm and the stench of burning berries in my oven. Of course his pies came out beautifully perfect as usual, but oooh, my poor oven.
What a dream it would be to have an oven that was so easy and quick to clean. I never even knew that an oven like that existed until I read your Creative Blog. Having a self cleaning oven like the LG’s EasyClean™ Double Oven Range would be a dream come true! Wow, just think of the things I could teach my husband to bake…and I’d never have to worry about my messy oven again.
Dreaming of the possibilities….Becky M. from Poulsbo, WA

any type of pie makes a mess in my oven.
Lauren says
Ooh that blackberry cobbler looks absolutely divine! I will definitely have to try out this recipe sometime this summer, especially because blackberries are my all-time favorite fruit! I’m always up for trying a dessert that is a little out of the norm. I’ve had pies and parfaits and such, so anytime I see a new or interesting way to try something, I’m all for the change. I’ve had cobblers before, but I have never tried to make one. Maybe this will be my first attempt! Thanks for sharing! I love your blog!
Jennifer H says
Our family’s homemade lasagna recipe usually gets my oven messy. My boys all love it, so I always layer it right to the top. There is often some that bubbles over, but it’s so worth it!!!
Diane @ Vintage Zest says
DEFINITELY any kind of cobbler or crumble. Sometimes lasagna if I overfill it!
Leslie says
Pies are definitely a mess in the oven for me. The Blackberry Cobbler looks scrumptious! Oh how I would love to have a new oven- so clean! Thanks so much!
Sabrina Jaye says
Baked homemade macaroni and cheese always gets my oven messy! It just seems that I always have a little more milk and egg, and it oozes over the top of the dish. Even though this is typical, I still make it for my family, and so I NEED a new, self-cleaning oven. The double oven would be a REAL treat since i have a large family for which I cook! Teaching, taking care of twins, and also taking care of extended family –this would be a dream! Thank you for the opportunity.

Trisha says
Well, I always seem to make a mess of my oven when making baked sweet potatoes. Every time, if I forget to put foil under them, the juice bubbles out and gets all over and burns and makes a mess. Would love this new Range.
