Blackberry Bisquick Cobbler Recipe

What's great about this is you can make Bisquick recipes year round. Around here frozen is cheaper than frozen berries anyway since we live in a small town. Heck, our kids even snack on a bag of frozen blueberries as a snack sometimes. We can find about any type of berry in the freezer section of our store.

Store brand is typically cheaper and we find no difference between this and name brands. Beyond a box of the ready baking mix and this you only need 3 ingredients.

A box of Bisquick pancake mix is surrounded by bowls containing flour, mixed berries solid for a blackberry cobbler, a cup of milk, a dish of butter, and a container of sugar. The ingredients are arranged on a white surface with a beige cloth in the background.

Bisquick Cobbler with Frozen Fruit

We would use whole milk if you have a choice, that will make it as moist as possible. You can use this heart healthy box or the typical yellow original style. The biggest difference is the amount of fat in each serving. We have found that means your baked goods will be a bit drier with the healthier version, but it's still quite good. You choose. This is what you'll need to get started when making any sort of berry cobblers with this boxed mix

Ingredient notes

You will want to start off with a big gag of frozen blackberries or your fruit of choice. You could use fresh blackberries but we think they break down too much. If you wanted fresh fruit, follow our Bisquick apple cobbler

Softened butter or dairy free alternative
Sugar and milk

Equipment Needed

A medium bowl to mix is necessary. You'll want to use a square or circular 9″ baking pan or dish with some non stick cooking spray inside.

Swaps

That can and should be adjusted to your tastebuds. If you wanted more sweetness we would toss the berries with sugar, Splenda or brown sugar to coat them all. Then follow the recipe below from there as far as temperature and timing. This is suggested with cranberries for sure but strawberries wouldn't need a lot more additional sweetness.

Any fruit works too. For frozen peach cobbler with bisquick you would use those instead. Similar to our dump peach cobbleryou do this in layers. After you lay the fruit down you then spoon the batter over the top and bake.

Can you use different fruit?

We have used blackberries, and a mixture of fruits (mainly cherries) too which you see here below. They all turn out the same no matter what variety you decide to go with. We have made it with the crust on top and below but decided the latter turned out better so it is in the recipe card below that way.

What makes Bisquick different?

If you're comparing all purpose flour with this baking mix it is NOT the same. If you substituted one for the other your recipe would not work at all. This box adds in leavening, some fat, and salt. That means when you bake with it you use fewer ingredients overall.

Can you use Bisquick to make a cobbler?

Yes! We will show you how to do that here. With frozen fruit like blackberries, blueberries or raspberries it is easy to bake in the oven for a quick dessert for your family.

You can make all sorts of savory and sweet things with it y'all. As a side dish these Red Lobster copycat Bisquick cheddar bay biscuits are the bomb.

How to Make Cobbler with Bisquick

You're going to use a 8″ round or square baking dish to make this.
First spray lightly with non stick spray. Use frozen mixed berries if you like, fresh or one variety.
Use a 8″ round or square baking dish. Spray lightly with non stick spray. Preheat oven to 350 F.
Put fruit into a bowl and gently toss with 1/2 cup of your sugar, set aside for 20 minutes to sit and absorb the sweetness. Melt butter in the microwave and pour into your dish.
In another bowl stir together Bisquick mix, rest of sugar and milk until smooth. Pour into baking dish on top of the butter layer. Pour blackberry sugar mixture on top of that.
Bake for 55 minutes or until top is a golden brown.
Scoop into bowls and top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

This takes a bit over 30 minutes to make and bake golden brown. If you have fresh or frozen whipped topping that is great to dollop on top when serving this goodie.

Bisquick Fruit Cobbler

Several times when we have picked fruit right off the bushes out here we have created simple desserts like this one. After blackberry picking we will enjoy some along the way and then freeze them in freezer bags, same with raspberries. In July and August you can find tons of huckleberries out here too!

For this we made a huckleberry cobbler with a streusel topping instead which came out good as well. You may be new to using this for anything other than pancake mix but believe us when we say, it works like a charm. You will need to add some sugar to sweeten things up, more if your berries are on the more bitter side of things.

Don't think this is going to slice up nice like a cake or pie though. use a large serving spoon and scoop that baby out. The fruit will be warm and gooey with the cake like top texture mixed with it. Squirt some whipped cream on top and there you go.

How do you thicken cobbler?

If you make this Bisquick blackberry cobbler once and wish the fruit was a bit thicker on the bottom then the next time toss it with 2 tbsp of cornstarch. Then pour it into your pan and continue from there. This will bubble as it bakes and get thicker than the time before. It will continue to thicken more as it cools as well too.

We will say that this doesn't keep well. If you do try the next day the portion of crust that touches the blackberries will be gooey and mushy. Not our favorite texture personally so we don't save it, we enjoy what we want to that day and then pitch it, but there's rarely any leftovers.

Fruit Cobbler with Crust on Top

We tested this a few more times and some had time with the crust on the top baking all the way thru before the top got browned so we swapped. That is in the recipe card below that has had less issues. If you want it swapped follow our Pour Over Top Pie Crust instead with fruit below.
