Blueberries – little round spheres of deliciousness. Oh, how I do love blueberries – in my muffins; with my oatmeal; as a topping to yogurt, ice cream, and pancakes. Pretty much any snack or breakfast can be made better by adding a spoonful (or more) of tasty, juicy blueberries! While I can pretty much get fresh blueberries any time of the year here in California, blueberries scream summertime to me. They are just better in the summertime and oh, so much more plentiful!
Yes, open my fridge anytime during the summer and you will most likely find a large container of fresh blueberries sitting on the shelf. My husband adds them to his morning yogurt, the kids turn them into smoothies, and I love them in my overnight oatmeal! And when I know I have company coming? All of the delicious blueberries are turned into the most amazing and extremely simple blueberry cobbler that you can find anywhere!
This recipe comes to me from my mom. It is one of her go to summer desserts and one that she made often at the lake. A bite of this blueberry cobbler warm from the oven or settled to room temperature takes me straight to my mom’s kitchen. Where after dinner we would all enjoy a bowl of this blueberry cobbler topped with ice cream sitting outside on the front porch of Mimi and Papa’s lake cabin. Sitting on the porch surrounded by family – looking out over the lake and most often watching the kids with their dessert down at the docks fishing – Yes, this is the best easy to enjoy this dessert. While my parents have sold their place, we still have so many wonderful memories of summertimes spent at the cabin. With a sunset time of 10 pm days are long at the lake – giving us all ample time to play in the water, spend time boating, reading in the hammock, fishing, and just running around playing with the cousins. Lake time with my family is a bit of heaven.
And this blueberry cobbler is a bit of heaven as well. Never-mind the fact that blueberries are an amazing fruit full of antioxidants, free-radical fighters, and said to help fight inflammation. Nope, never-mind all of the health benefits of blueberries – just look to these little spheres as the basis of an amazing, taste of summertime, dessert.
The recipe is called Extra Easy Blueberry Cobbler for a reason! It is so super-duper fast and easy to put together! And it calls for standard, I-already-have-that-in my-pantry, staples.

Yum! Great recipe!
Thanks!
We LOVE blueberries in this house! My baby would freak over this!
Yum! Add a bit of vanilla ice cream and make it extra special!
Oh my kiddos would LOVE this .They are huge fans of blueberries but I never really know what to do with them! This would be great.
They would love it! And this is so easy!
This look so good! It’s perfect for a summer picnic!
Oh – great idea! A picnic sounds like a great easy to spend a bit of this coming weekend.
Omgsh I absolutely love blueberries, too! They’re seriously delicious – on their own or with anything else! That cobbler looks amazing and really doesn’t sound too complicated!
This topping is a bit in-between! My Peach cobbler has a much softer topping.
Mmm I love blueberry cobbler! I prefer my cobbler a little bit less crispy or browned on the top, though. I’d love to give your recipe a try!
Yes, I have an apple recipe that has an extra crispy crust! This one is in-between.
Cobbler of any kind is such a comfort dessert. I haven’t tried blueberry, but I love apple. I will have to give it a try. 🙂
Yes, I love apple and peach cobblers as well!
Mmmm! I love blueberry everything! And my 14 month old son’s favorite snack is blueberries 🙂
I can just smell it now. Yum. ::bookmarking::
And they are so healthy to boot!
Tis the season for berries! Blueberries are some of the best. It’s funny…I was just in Georgia picking berries and wrote a post about it.
I have never tried a cobbler but if it is as good as blueberry muffins then I am all game. You have some fantastic recipe ideas on your site I wish I was as good a cook as you x http://www.fadedspring.co.uk/
I wish I could get my family to eat blueberries. If I made this I’d have the entire cobbler myself. Maybe I can make a solo cobbler 😉 Looks so yummy!
Oh, if no one else in my family ate any – I would be way over indulging!
