Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Berry Filling
- 4 cups mixed berries of choice (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir in milk, egg, and canola oil until the mixture is fully combined into a thick batter.
- Grease Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of a 2.5-4 quart slow cooker to prevent sticking and then spread the prepared batter evenly across the bottom.
- Prepare the Berries: If using frozen berries, thaw and drain them thoroughly to remove excess moisture. In a separate large bowl, mix the berries with 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup flour until evenly coated.
- Add Berry Topping: Carefully spread the berry mixture over the batter in the slow cooker, ensuring an even layer.
- Cook the Cobbler: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high heat for 2 to 3 hours. Fresh berries typically require closer to 2 hours, while thawed frozen berries need about 2.5 to 3 hours. Cook until the batter is fully set and the berries are bubbling.
- Serve Warm: Once cooked, serve the cobbler warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful finish.

- For best results, ensure frozen berries are fully thawed and drained to prevent excess moisture in the cobbler.
