3 Ingredient Blueberry Cobbler
Whip up this delicious blueberry cobbler in no time with only 3 ingredients. This easy cobbler is bursting with blueberry flavor and is perfect for weeknight desserts, summer gatherings, or to take to potlucks!
This easy blueberry cobbler recipe is insanely delicious with just three ingredients that you probably have on hand. I’ve made a couple of other cobblers and each one I think is my favorite, but blueberry really is my favorite.
Sometimes cobblers made with just a few ingredients are called dump cakes because they are made with a fruit filling of some sort, a cake mix, and butter. Whatever you call them, they are easy and delicious. My blackberry cobbler uses a simple blend of sugar and flour in place of the cake mix and is baked in the oven just as this blueberry dessert is. This slow cooker cherry cobbler uses three ingredients and is my husband’s favorite.

What is a cobbler?
A cobbler is a fruit dessert with a fruit filling and a biscuit or cake-like topping but without a bottom crust like a pie. Cobblers are often easier to make than pies and don’t require special baking pans.
Can you use fresh or frozen blueberries to make cobbler?
Yes, four cups of fresh blueberries or frozen (do not thaw) blueberries can be used in place of the pie filling.
What Type of Cake Mix can I use for Cobblers?
This is the easiest recipe to customize with different cake mixes. I have made this classic dessert with a white cake mix, lemon cake mix, and a butter pecan cake mix. Pair the fruit you are using with the cake mix. If you’re using cherry pie filling, a chocolate cake mix would be delicious to use. For a peach cobbler, a yellow or spice cake mix would be delicious with peach pie filling or frozen peaches.
Do you stir a dump cake?
No, you do not stir the ingredients together. Think of it as a layer dish. Keep the fruit on the bottom and the cake mix and butter on the top so everything bakes evenly.
Time-Saving Tips and Variations
- There really aren’t any more time-saving tips to add to this super easy recipe other than always keeping a can or two of pie filling and a couple of cake mixes in the pantry for when you want a quick dessert.
- Be sure your butter is cold.
- If you want to double this recipe to take to a summer BBQ or a potluck, I would recommend baking two cobblers in two pans. It would take less time to bake.
- To store leftover cobbler: cover the casserole dish and keep it in the refrigerator.
- To reheat: place a portion into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until hot.
- You can use a sugar-free cake mix if desired.
- Alternatively, to using the butter slices, you can use melted butter. Add the cake mix to a medium bowl and slowly add the melted butter to the dry cake mix, mixing with a fork until you have a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle evenly over the pie filling and bake as directed.
- A delicious variation of this recipe is to omit the butter and use a can of clear soda like Sprite or 7-up. Fruit on the bottom of the baking pan, sprinkle cake mix evenly, and then pour the soda over and bake as directed in this recipe.
