One Minute Blueberry Cobbler, an easy blueberry cobbler recipe made in the microwave for one person.
(For your shopping convenience, this post contains affiliate links.)
Yep, you can make this easy single serving Blueberry Cobbler recipe in ONE MINUTE!! And it was quite tasty if I do say so myself! Thumbs up from the family and they’ve actually been requesting these simple blueberry cobblers on a regular basis now.
You do need a few minutes to prepare these cobblers, but each blueberry cobbler only takes one minute to cook in the microwave. These single serving berry cobblers are perfect to make if you only want to make one or two servings instead of making a huge pan in the oven.
These single serving cobblers are also great if you have a late night craving and need something quick! I cut way back on the sugar and used simple ingredients but I bet you won’t miss it all!
If blueberry isn’t your thing, I also have a recipes for Individual Strawberry Cobblers and Amaretto Caramel Apple Mug Cobblers. Instead of blueberries you could also try different fruit in this recipe.
This easy blueberry cobbler recipe comes together quick!
These are meant to be an easy QUICK fix if you’re craving something sweet. No, it’s NOT just as good as a big sugary gooey blueberry cobbler out of the oven that took all day to make (so don’t send me nasty emails…), but it’s still tasty especially with a little ice cream or whipped cream on top.
First, mix together all the dry ingredients, flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add a pinch of salt if you’d like. You could add a little cinnamon or spices.
Then mix in your milk and melted butter to the batter.
Place your blueberries in the bottom of your ramekin. You’ll need a large ramekin (8 oz.). You could also substitute a large microwave safe mug or small bowl. This would work well like a mug cake recipe.
I did not add any sugar to my blueberries, but if you like your blueberry cobblers really sweet add a little sugar or even maple syrup.
You could also add a little cornstarch or flour if you want the fruit juices to thicken up. I really didn’t think it needed it.
Press down on your blueberries a little with the back of a spoon or fork to make room for the topping. For a little extra flavor you could add a little vanilla extract, almond extract, or even maple extract.
Spoon your cobbler topping on top of the blueberries in a nice even layer.
Place the ramekin on top of a small microwave safe plate JUST in case the blueberries boil over a little. Sometimes mine do, sometimes they don’t.
Microwave the blueberry cobbler on high for 30 seconds, check on it, then microwave another 30 seconds.
You may have to adjust the time slightly for your particular microwave. Microwaving for 2 intervals of 30 seconds seemed to help prevent the blueberries from boiling over too much by giving them just enough time to cool down slightly.
Top with your favorite ice cream , whipped topping, or whipped cream if you’d like. And there you go, an easy single serving microwave blueberry cobbler ready in no time.
Wasn’t that quick and easy for a fresh blueberry cobbler? Only 6 ingredients, a few minutes to prep, and 1 minute in the microwave for a quick and easy single serving blueberry cobbler!!!
This easy blueberry cobbler recipe is the perfect quick sugar fix! Great in the summer when fresh blueberries are abundant.
Here’s a quick video to show how fast these cobblers are to put together…
I hope you enjoy these cute mini blueberry cobblers!
Thanks for visiting!

Recipe Notes
SNAPPY TIPS: I have only made these cobblers 1 at a time in the microwave. You can make multiple cobblers at a time but will need to adjust cooking time. Do not overfill your ramekin/mug or it will boil over a lot. For a little more flavor add a little vanilla extract, almond extract, or other flavoring to the topping or fruit.
SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: Instead of blueberries, try other fruit but some fruit may need to be precooked. You can also add a little sugar or maple syrup to the blueberries or add a little flour or cornstarch if you want the juices to thicken up. You can also add cinnamon or other spices to your cobbler topping or blueberries.

Thanks! Peaches were next on my list to try. :) I’m sure they would work great too!
Allyson Bossie says
omg how easy! I have some cultured blackberries. I am off to find out how well this works with my blackberries! Thanks for the recipe. Wish I had blueberries. They are one of my fav berries
Lisa Huff says
I bet blackberries would work great too!
Minnie(@thelady8home) says

A fuss free and delectable dessert!
Claudio says
Looks delicious, Ann. I’d want vinalla ice cream on my cobbler as well. You’re lucky you have blueberries. We have a bluwberry farm not far from here, and I just bought some the other day. I love them just as they are, too.Take care!Renie
Jenna says
I just made this using whole wheat flour, added cinnamon to the topping and lemon zest to the blueberries. I used frozen which worked fine. I knocked the sugar back to 1 teaspoon, half teaspoon in each part. Delicious and a perfect little dessert for a hypoglycemic like me! Thank you!
Lisa Huff says
Thanks Jenna! So glad you enjoyed it!
Meg says
I just made this – it was absolutely delicious and so fast and easy!! Thank you!! :)
Lisa Huff says
So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Mel says
This hit the spot when I had some blueberries I wanted to finish off! I made a few small substitutions- WW pastry flour, added some oats for fiber & protein, 1 t truvia baking blend for sugar (1/4 on berries and 3/4 in topping), added some cinnamon, coconut oil for butter and buttermilk b/c I had some in the fridge. Thanks for the recipe!
Lisa Huff says
Thanks so much! So happy to hear you enjoyed the cobbler. :)
Nancy says
Can you use frozen berries? and would you use them thawed or frozen?
Lisa Huff says
Hi Nancy! I have not done it with frozen blueberries but I’m sure it will work just fine. I’d defrost them first if you can. Not sure they would defrost in 1 minute in the microwave but they may if they’re small.
Gabriela says
Would this work with a small bowl instead?
Lisa Huff says
Hi! Yes, any type of small heat proof bowl or container should be fine.
Tina T. says
Thank you for downsizing and microwave adaptation. This was an amazing quick dessert that I had as breakfast instead ????????. Can’t wait to try different fruits.
Lisa Huff says
Thanks Tina! Happy to hear you enjoyed the cobbler! :)
Tia Saberwal says
Relatively easy to make but didn’t enjoy it. It wasn’t bad but nothing to write home about. The batter is just too bland for my taste. Quite disappointed :/
Linda says
I was wondering if I could use frozen blueberries. If I do I need to adjust recipe?
Lisa Huff says
I haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why frozen blueberries would not work but I would defrost them first.
cindyloo says
Thank you!I just made this using fresh mulberries that I have in abundance this year! delish! Read some one else subbed coconut oil for butter, much as I love butter i may try that next. healthy you know!lol! I did mine in a coffee mug as i dont have ramekins! THANKYOU!
Lisa Huff says
Thank you! Happy to hear you enjoyed the cobbler! :)
Lana says
I made these with frozen blueberries and it worked perfectly. I also did a quick microwave custard to pour on top. My partner loves this dessert and it was all done in under 5 mins. Thanks for the recipe!
Lisa Huff says
Thank you! So happy to hear you enjoyed!
The Chef says
Could I put it in the fridge over night and cook it at lunch the next day?
Lisa Huff says
I have done that before but I don’t see why not. I would maybe just bring it to room temperature first or it may need a little more cooking.
Paulette Straub says
Could I use Splenda instead of sugar?? If so how many packets would I use?
Lisa Huff says
I’m sure you could use a sugar substitute, but I have not tried it so can’t guarantee the results. I would check on the Splenda packets and see what the sugar equivalent is.
Michi I'Lundaria says
Just made this tonight and I cant say thank you enough! This was awesome! Thanks for sharing this with everyone :)

I’ll definitely be trying this this Summer!
Dan says
This is so cool, I can have dessert all by myself, no sharing with the kids!
Alyssa Mosher says
The perfect way to satisfy my sweet tooth! And quickly!!
Carly Long says
I made this and thought it was YUK!! The texture was not good…..I ate the blueberries and chunked the rest. Think it definitely needs more butter.
Lisa Huff says
Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy. Unfortunately, microwaves can vary so very easy to overcook.
heather says
is there something else I can use in the milks place?
Lisa Huff says
You could try a milk substitute like almond milk or coconut milk but I have not tried so can’t guarantee how it will turn out.
