Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 10-inch cast iron skillet, or a 9x9 baking dish.
- In the skillet, toss together berries, sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt. Smooth berry mixture into an even layer.
- In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, or in a bowl with two forks, add the flour, oats, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Add the cubed cold butter and mix until the texture is in coarse clumps. Mixture should hold together in clumps when you squeeze it with your hand.
- Crumble the topping evenly over the top of berry mixture with your hands and then press it down lightly.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the edges are bubbling and the top is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream!
Notes
Storage: Once fully cooled, refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To reheat, pop it into the microwave for up to a minute, or in the oven at 375°F for around 10 minutes, until warmed through.
Frozen Berries: If they’re completely thawed and any excess water is drained off, frozen berries will also work. They will be a little mushier than fresh, but still taste delicious!
Vegan: Swap the butter for margarine or coconut butter for a vegan version of this dessert.
Biscuit Topping: If you prefer a biscuit topping, whip up a batch of the drop dumplings in my chicken and dumplings recipe, but do not add the black pepper and thyme. Instead, add 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Drop tablespoon dollops of dough over the top of the cobbler and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown.
Pie Crust Topping: If you prefer a pie crust topping, check out my other berry cobbler recipe!
More Fruits: Swap part of the berries in this cobbler recipe for diced peaches, apricots, pitted black cherries, cranberries, etc for a fruity variation of this cobbler.
Add Nuts: You can add 1/2 a cup of chopped nuts to the topping to add more crunch. Walnuts or pecans work great!
