Ingredients
Scale
For the Batter
- 1 stick salted butter, cubed
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For the Blueberries
- 4-5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F and allow it to fully preheat before baking.
- Melt the butter: Place the cubed butter into a 9×13 inch or similar size baking dish and put it in the oven for about 10 minutes until fully melted.
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Add the milk, brown sugar, molasses, and vanilla extract, stirring until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
- Coat the blueberries: In a separate bowl, toss the blueberries with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the prepared batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Then, evenly spoon the blueberry mixture on top of the batter.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 55 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving warm. It pairs wonderfully with ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer without thawing to prevent the batter from becoming soggy.
- For a deeper flavor, you can substitute half of the molasses with honey or maple syrup.
- If you prefer a less sweet cobbler, reduce the brown sugar in the batter by 1/4 cup.
- Make sure the butter is fully melted before adding the batter for the best texture and flavor.
- This recipe works well with other berries like blackberries or raspberries as a variation.
