Ingredients
Scale
For the Blackberry Filling
- 4 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
For the Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (130g)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions
- Prepare the berry filling: In a large bowl, stir together the blackberries, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon flour until the berries are evenly coated. Spread this mixture evenly into a lightly greased 2.5 to 4-quart crockpot.
- Make the batter: In another large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add the milk, egg, and canola oil, stirring just until combined. The batter will be thick.
- Assemble in crockpot: Drop spoonfuls of the thick batter evenly over the blackberry mixture in the crockpot. Do not spread it out; the batter will spread while cooking.
- Cook the cobbler: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 3 to 4 hours. The cobbler is done when the topping is dry and golden around the edges and the filling has thickened.
- Rest and serve: Let the cobbler sit with the lid off for 10 minutes to set before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream for a delicious finish.
