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.

  • Place the lid on the slow cooker.
  • Cook on HIGH for 2 hours and 30 minutes without opening the lid during the cooking time.

  • Raspberries
  • Sliced peaches
  • Marionberries
  • Boysenberries
  • Blueberries

Can I use bisquick for cobbler instead of making from scratch?

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

  • 1 1/2 cups Bisquick
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar

This batter is a little lighter than my homemade version and only needs to be cooked for 2 hours and 15 minutes.

What should I serve with this?

Serve with one of the following:

  • Vanilla bean ice cream

      it came out a bit burnt. But the top of the recipe says 2 hrs 15 mins and the end of the recipe says 2 and a half hours, which I followed. I think 2hrs 15 would have been perfect. It was easy to make and tasty though. Foraged blackberries!

      I’ve made this a few times now. It’s delicious! Perfect for someone like me who always manages to screw up baking and/or desserts. Also followed the same recipe with raspberries and peaches and both were great. With the peach I pureed some bc they have a bit less juice than the berries. I will say the blackberry has been mine and my grandma’s favorite, though. Thank you!

      I would like to use canned Blackberry Pie filling in place of fresh blackberries. Would also like to use yellow cake mix. Is this possible and any changes to recipe to do this? Thx u

        Hi! The canned blackberries should be fine. If you do half a box of cake mix, that would be better.

      What size crockpot do you use for your recipes? An oval one, how many quarts?
      Thank you! I sent your web site to my granddaughters and they live it! I want to send them crockpots now!

        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.
