How to Make Blueberry Cobbler:
This easy blueberry cobbler recipe comes together quick!
First, mix together all the dry ingredients including the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add a pinch of salt if you’d like. You could also add a little cinnamon or spices.
You can try a gluten-free baking flour, but I have not tried, so can’t guarantee how it compares.
I didn’t add a lot of sugar but you could add more or use a sugar substitute.
Then mix in your milk and melted butter to the batter.
Place your blueberries in the bottom of your ramekin. I used fresh blueberries, but you could also use defrosted frozen blueberries.
You’ll need a large ramekin (8 oz.) to bake the blueberry cobbler in. You could also substitute a large microwave safe mug or small bowl. This would work well like a mug cake recipe. You may need to adjust the cooking time if you use different size containers.
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 or sugar substitute. Or if your blueberries aren’t very sweet, you may want to add a little more sweetener.
You could also add a little cornstarch or flour if you want to the blueberries so the fruit “juice” thickens a bit. I really didn’t think it needed it, but you may want to experiment a bit.
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 to the blueberries.
Spoon your cobbler topping batter 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 boil over just a little, 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 this homemade blueberry cobbler 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? Not too many ingredients, a few minutes to prep, and 1 minute in the microwave for a quick and easy single serving blueberry cobbler!!!
Easy Blueberry Cobbler Tips:
- Blueberries are at their best in the summer, so give this a try with fresh sweet ripe blueberries. Other times of the year, you can also make this blueberry cobbler with frozen blueberries. You may want to defrost them first.
- You can try substituting other types of fruit, but depending on the type of fruit you may need to precook the fruit a little first.
- You can easily add your favorite spices and flavoring to both the blueberries and cobbler topping. Things to try would be cinnamon, nutmeg, fresh orange zest/juice, fresh lemon juice/zest, flavored extracts (vanilla, almond, maple, etc.), maple syrup, and anything else you can think of!
- Microwaves can vary, so you may need to adjust the cooking time and experiment a little.

These sound so tasty and SIMPLE – my favorite kind of dessert! I love the idea of making them in coffee mugs, and just cuddling up with a spoon on the couch. :)
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.
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.

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.
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.
