Simple Ingredients for a Pioneer Woman Blackberry Cobbler
For exact measurements, please refer to the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Granulated Sugar: Sweetness is key!

- Whole Milk: Adds richness and moisture to the cobbler batter.
- Melted Butter: For flavor and a tender crust.
- Blackberries: The star of the show! You can use fresh or frozen blackberries.
- Vanilla Ice Cream (Optional): For serving and taking this dessert to the next level!
Making Your Own Self-Rising Flour
If you don’t have self-rising flour on hand, don’t worry! It’s easy to make your own. For each cup of all-purpose flour, simply add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt. This simple substitution ensures you can make this blackberry cobbler Pioneer Woman recipe anytime.

Step-by-Step Guide to Pioneer Woman Blackberry Cobbler
This easy blackberry cobbler recipe is incredibly straightforward. Follow these simple steps to baking perfection:
- Get Started: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of self-rising flour.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in 1 cup of whole milk and ½ stick (¼ cup) of melted butter. Mix until everything is well combined, creating a smooth batter.
- Assemble in Baking Dish: Pour the batter into a 9×9 inch casserole dish.

- First Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
- Second Sugar Sprinkle: Remove the cobbler from the oven and sprinkle an additional 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top.

Tips for Using Frozen Berries
Using frozen blackberries is a fantastic shortcut and works perfectly in this Pioneer Woman blackberry cobbler recipe. The key is to add them to the cobbler while they are still frozen. If you thaw them beforehand, they can become mushy, releasing excess liquid and altering the cobbler’s consistency. Baking them frozen helps maintain their shape and prevents a soggy cobbler.
Delicious Berry Variations
While this recipe is for blackberry cobbler, feel free to experiment with other berries or fruits! Here are some delicious alternatives:
- Blueberries: A classic choice for cobbler, offering a slightly sweeter and milder flavor.
- Raspberries: Add a touch of tartness and vibrant color.
- Strawberries: For a sweeter cobbler, perfect for strawberry lovers.
- Peaches: Craving peach cobbler? We’ve got you covered with our Peach Cobbler recipe!
- Mixed Berries: Combine your favorites for a flavorful and colorful cobbler.
Get creative and use a combination of berries for a unique twist!

Storing and Reheating Your Blackberry Cobbler
Want to enjoy your Pioneer Woman blackberry cobbler later? Here’s how to store and reheat it:
- Storing at Room Temperature: Baked cobbler can be kept covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Refrigerating: For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Freezing Blackberry Cobbler
Good news! You can freeze leftover blackberry cobbler. Freezing is best done after baking to maintain the texture of the leavening agent in the flour.
- Reheating from Frozen: Thaw the cobbler overnight in the refrigerator. Then, bake it in a covered, oven-safe dish at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. The reheating time will depend on the amount of cobbler you are reheating.
- Microwave Reheating: For a quick reheat, you can also use the microwave.
Choosing the Right Pan Size
A 9×9 inch baking dish is ideal for this blackberry cobbler Pioneer Woman recipe. If you prefer a thinner cobbler or want to double the recipe for a larger crowd using a 9×13 inch pan, consider doubling all the ingredients for a thicker result in the larger pan.
The Perfect Serving Suggestion (It’s Obvious!)
While technically optional, serving this easy blackberry cobbler without vanilla ice cream is almost unthinkable! The cold, creamy vanilla ice cream perfectly complements the warm, sweet cobbler, creating a heavenly dessert experience. So, yes, vanilla ice cream is highly recommended!
