Summer is in full swing and blueberries are in season! What better way to use them up then to make my slow cooker blueberry cobbler!

Ingredients
- Blueberries – I like to use fresh blueberries, but in a pinch you can use frozen. See notes below.
- Dairy – This recipe requires both milk and sour cream.
- Flour – This will be the base of the batter. I have only tested this recipe using all purpose flour.
- Sugar – You’ll need a little sugar for the batter and the remaining to mix into the blueberries.
- Baking Powder- Will help the cobbler rise.
- Cinnamon – A little cinnamon gives the recipe a nice warm balance of flavors.
- Vanilla Extract – A splash of vanilla extract gives extra flavor to the batter.
- Eggs – The eggs go in the batter.
- Lemon – I use both the zest and juice of a lemon to mix with the blueberries.
Directions
Mix together the flour, ¼ cup sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, sour cream, milk, and eggs. Mix for 30 seconds until batter is creamy and no lumps are present.
Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and pour the batter into the slow cooker, spreading the batter evenly on the bottom.
Wipe out the batter bowl. Then, gently mix together the 3 cups fresh blueberries, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Pour the blueberry mixture on top of the batter in the slow cooker. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 2-½ hours.
Once your cobbler is ready, spoon it out into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream and more fresh blueberries if you want! If you’re looking for a delicious summer dessert enjoy the fruit of the season and make my recipe for slow cooker blueberry cobbler!
FAQs
You might think that a cup of sugar is way too much for the blueberries. I promise it’s not. Go with your gut and follow the recipe as its intended. You’ll be happy you did. I promise!
I like to use fresh blueberries for this recipe since they are in season. However, if you want to make this recipe when blueberries are not in season you can also use frozen. Either way works well.
This recipe feeds at least 8 large portions of blueberry cobbler; however, I have stretched this to get around 12-16 with smaller scoops. Think of it as a little tasting.
Tips & Tricks
Here are a few of my tips and tricks when making crockpot blueberry cobbler.
- Slow Cooker Desserts – Whenever you make a dessert in the slow cooker you risk the moisture falling into the dessert. To prevent this, as soon as the recipe is done cooking simply remove the lid as quick as possible preventing the moisture from dripping on to the cobbler.
- Blueberries – If fresh blueberries aren’t in season you can use frozen.
- Toppings – Vanilla ice cream is a must to go along side of your cobbler. I also like to add whipped cream and some sliced almonds on top.
