Rinsed blueberries in colander.

This simple Blueberry Cobbler recipe was inspired by my friend's blog post of a Rhubarb and Raspberry Cobbler. But since I had no rhubarb or raspberries available at home, I decided to make it using fresh blueberries.

About this Blueberry Cornmeal Cobbler

This simple cobbler makes a wonderful light and fruity summer dessert. Since lemon complements blueberries so well, I added a bit of lemon juice to the blueberry filling mixture and some lemon zest to the biscuit topping. The lemony flavour in the baked cobbler was delightful and added the perfect touch.

I love adding cornmeal to the biscuit topping as it adds texture and gives it a nice little crunch. The amount of biscuit is perfect to make this a light dessert but if you prefer a thicker topping, you will need to adjust the recipe.

I think time and a half would be perfect, but it may be simpler to just double the ingredients for the biscuit topping.

This Blueberry Cobbler is only lightly sweetened. If your blueberries are sweet then the amount of sugar in the recipe should be enough. If you find the blueberries are more on the tart side, you may want to add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the blueberry mixture.

Blueberry Cobbler topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

How to Serve:

The best way to serve this Blueberry Cobbler is still slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened freshly whipped heavy cream.

Enjoy!

      Thanks Julie, so do I, there are so many desserts that can be made with fresh fruit, and much more delicious when we can get the fruit locally.

    Glad to have been an inspiration, Fida! I just love cornmeal in a cobbler biscuit, and as you have reminded us, any fruit works well. This looks delicious, and the blueberries make for a very striking photograph.

    Welcome to Fiesta Friday and thank you for bringing this wonderful blueberry cobbler. I love cobblers myself, they are so versatile aren't they? Your topping with the cornmeal crunch is exactly how I'd like mine too. That picture with the ice cream and mint is really tempting me to make some of my own. Thanks for bringing this dessert to the Fiesta 🙂
