Notes

Can You Use Frozen Blueberries?
Yes, but the filling may be a little runnier. Frozen berries release a lot of moisture while the cook and there isn’t any cornstarch in this recipe to thicken the juices. You can add some to thicken the liquid – a couple of teaspoons should be enough.
Or, you can thaw the berries first and drain them before baking them in the filling. That will help reduce the amount of liquid.
Can You Use Other Kinds Of Fruit?
Yes, feel free to swap the blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries. Or you can use this recipe to make an apple or peach cobbler.
How To Store Blueberry Cobbler
You can store it at room temperature for three to four days. Keep it wrapped in plastic wrap.
Or you can store it in the refrigerator for a few days longer as long as it’s covered tightly.
You can also freeze the cobbler and reheat it in the oven later. Just keep it tightly wrapped and it should keep well for up to two months. You can bake it straight from the freezer to warm it up.
