Make this easy blackberry cobbler dessert in your slow cooker for a wonderful summer treat.

There are so many choices for dessert in the slow cooker along with this blackberry cobbler we love pineapple coconut cake or chocolate lava cake.

This the best kind of cobbler recipe! The kind with a homemade vanilla cake like topping.

Great with ice cream or whipped cream on a summer night. My grandma always made her cobbler this way and I think you’ll love my recipe and make it over and over.

This recipe is a must make if you have recently picked blackberries or bought a flat at your farmers market.

blackberries and ingreidents to make it in small dishes. (sugar, flour, melted butter, vanilla, milk, cinnamon sugar, baking powder).

How to make blackberry cobbler in the crockpot:

Follow these easy steps and you will have the perfect cobbler!

Blackberry layer:

  • 3-5 cups of rinsed blackberries
  • Cornstarch
  • Sugar
  • Butter

Adding cornstarch, sugar, and butter to the blackberries makes a wonderful sauce. I leave my berries whole, but if you want a smooth sauce, use a potato masher, and mash the berries with these ingredients. Toss the berries with these ingredients well.

Cobbler layer:

  • All-purpose flour
  • Sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Milk
  • Vanilla extract
  • Melted butter

In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients. Then stir in the final three wet ingredients. There will be lumps, do not over mix. (full recipe amounts below in recipe card)

bowl with batter in it. Blue spatula in it.

Spread this batter over the berries evenly.

For the topping:

  • Sugar
  • Cinnamon

A sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar over the batter finishes off the cobbler and flavors it as well.

Yes! Here is my recipe below, I also included it below in the recipe box.

  • 1 cup milk

        Hi Dottie, I usually use a 6-quart. Though every recipe lists the smallest size crockpot I think the recipe will fit in (on the recipe card).

          It’s hard to say without testing. I’ve found with desserts that they don’t set in the center since the batter is taller in the small crockpots.

        Yes, I think I would thaw them. Keep any juices from them, that will help make a sauce.
