Questions I often get asked about this recipe:
Do I need to thaw frozen blueberries before adding them to the crockpot?
No, you don’t need to thaw them beforehand.
How can I tell when the cobbler is done?
The topping should be golden brown and the juices from the blueberries should be bubbling.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the cobbler in the crockpot and cook it later. Just keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to cook it.
How long will leftovers keep?
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
I don’t have cake mix, can I make my own topping?
Yes, you can! There are many recipes online for cobbler toppings made from scratch.
What you need to make Crockpot Blueberry Cobbler:
5 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 (15.25 ounce) package vanilla cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar (optional, for the blueberries)
2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for the blueberries)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for the blueberries)
How to make it:
Prep the slow cooker: Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or coat with cooking oil.
Prepare the blueberries (optional): In a large bowl, combine the blueberries with sugar, cornstarch (if using), and vanilla extract (if using). Stir gently to coat the berries. Pour the blueberry mixture into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Make the cobbler topping: In a separate bowl, stir together the cake mix and melted butter. The mixture will be crumbly.
Assemble the cobbler: Sprinkle the cake mix crumbles evenly over the blueberries in the slow cooker. Do not stir.
Cook: Cook on LOW for 3-4 hours, or on HIGH for 2 hours, or until the topping is golden brown and the juices from the blueberries are bubbling.
Serve: Serve the cobbler warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Tips:
You can use a variety of berries in place of blueberries, such as strawberries, blackberries, peaches, or raspberries.
If your blueberries are very tart, you may want to add a bit more sugar to the topping.
For a thicker cobbler filling, you can whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with some water or juice and stir it into the blueberries before adding the topping.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
