Description
This Bisquick Blackberry Cobbler is the perfect balance of ease and indulgence. Bursting with fresh blackberries, a touch of lemon, and topped with a golden, cake-like crust, this dessert comes together effortlessly with pantry staples like Bisquick mix and whole milk. Finished with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it’s a warm-weather favorite that feels nostalgic yet elevated.
Ingredients
For the Filling
4 cups (about 16 oz.) fresh blackberries (from 2 [12-oz.] packages)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
For the Batter
1 cup (about 4.1 oz.) Bisquick Original Pancake & Baking Mix
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup (4 oz.) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving
Vanilla ice cream (optional but highly recommended)
Instructions
Preheat Oven & Melt Butter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the melted butter into a 9×9-inch baking dish (or similar size) and set it in the oven for a few minutes to keep it hot while you prepare the batter.
Mix the Berries
In a medium bowl, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. This allows the berries to release their juices and develop a syrupy consistency.
Prepare the Batter
In another bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined. The batter will be smooth and pourable.
Assemble the Cobbler
Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter directly over the melted butter do not stir. Spoon the blackberry mixture evenly over the top, letting the juices drizzle across the batter. Again, do not mix.
Bake & Serve
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Letting the berries macerate (rest with sugar and lemon) builds flavor and ensures a jammy texture.
Pouring batter over melted butter (not mixing) creates a crisp, buttery edge and tender center.
Use a glass or ceramic baking dish for best results it retains heat and gives an even bake.
You can swap in frozen berries (no need to thaw) but add 1 teaspoon cornstarch to help thicken the juices.
